Alright Yahooka?

I have just returned form a most interesting trip to Chicago, St Louis, then back to Chicago, but this element of that trip focuses purely on the thread title, as i suspect i suffered such a fate, whilst staying at a nice Hotel in the City Centre, which shall remain nameless.

Before i offer my "feedback" to said hotel, i would Yahooka's great minds ti conisder the following questions and reply, in order that i may be able to provide more acurate "feedback".

The scenario

Sat in the lounge bar of a nice hotel, quite pissed (thats english for drunk), and have asked the waitress for another bicardi and coke. This would have been my 3rd or 4th drink of the same, to which i hadn't been asked for diet or fat coke....they had all been fat coke til now.

The drink arrives and to my horror, its diet coke. I take it to the bar and say i'd like normal coke, to which she says, well the last one was diet.

Now, i know for a fact it wasn't, as its not hard to tell the differemce, so insisted she was wrong and that the last one tasted nothing like this etc....she agreed to replace with attitude and i returned to my seat...i had another 2 or 3 more drinks sat there, served by the same waitress, before going to bed.

the next day, i had a hangover that far outwieghed the mass of the previous nights comsumption. I couldn't pin point why i felt so bad, but my god, i thought i was dying and this didn't clear until late the following day. didn't want to eat drink, felt sick etc etc

The questions therefore are:

1. Is this practice common in the US
2. Do you think it happened to me
3. What do they spike the drinks with

I look forward to your insight.

If her intention was to make you feel like shit, it could have been any number of pills completely unrelated to the traditional chemicals one might mix with alcohol. There are plenty that don't mix well and would result in some unsettling after-effects.

That is assuming she did put something in there to fuck with you.

i think you just got trashed, probably with shitty rum.

i think it's kinda paranoid to assume you had your drink spiked.

how was your ass the next day?

His concern isn't unwarranted. . But she could of slipped some Antabuse (anti-drinking med) into your drink. .. lol But I think you would be alot worse off but it does make sense, as if she slipped a piece of one in or something. More than likely and what I just think though I was shitty liquor, alot of places like to make you think you are getting good booze but pour up the cheap shitty crap...

I know there are alot of crazy assed people out there, but waitresses take shit all the time, and what you're talking about would be a serious crime requiring a stay in the ass rape hotel. I just can't see your complaint being the one that would put anyone over the edge enough to take that risk. Now, if she got on the PA, called you a "motherfucker", then took two beers and escaped through the emergency exit, then I'd say "maybe..."

I read something about how addicts will have differing tolerances to substances in certain places(not saying your an addict mate just saying it as an example). So like if a drug user uses in a bathroom or their house everyday then they use say in someones closet or outside or something an overdose is much more likely.

Perhaps the problem was related to that. Your used to drinking in the UK and for some reason being in the US changed your bodies readiness or something for the booze.

no clue, maybe you were just really dehydrated lol or the lady was serving you some potent drinks.

I only asked as a few people i mentioned it to, said i had probably been spiked, as it happens quite a bit.

To be fair, i started drinking Stella around 11am, had a Yagger's and Mojito's along the way....then went out for a steak and had a bottle of red with that around 7pm, then back to the hotel and did the bicardi's until 1am, so there is a chance i was just hungover...

but as i was also smoking some nice herb from 10pm, that normally wards off a bad hangover...sure the first hour is bad, but you get over that...

it wasn't until after i had a long island iced tea up the Hancock tower on the 96th floor at 2pm before i felt any better...

turmaline

hahahaha...it was the Mojitos!

ask Lloydy.

i've never heard of a bartender spiking someones drink, to say it happens quite often, imo would be quite the stretch.

i guarentee it was all the coke you ended up drinnking. i get 10000x more hungover when i drink stuff mixed with soft drinks all night compared to when i just take shots. maybe my body cant process all that sugar well or something.

The reason why cheap taquila gives you a killer hangover is likely the same reason you had a killer one after that night. All the sugar!

A few years ago I went to Street Scene in San Diego (Wu-Tang was headlining, the only real reason I went).

We started out in the beer garden (ie...stinky sweaty tent with drunkards elbow to elbow) and I downed a few of beer. We set our drinks down on a table and socialized with some friends on a semi-circle community couch. We finished and picked up our beers, I down mine and we go roaming the stages.

Few hours later, right when Wu-Tang was starting (of course), I start to feel as drunk as drunk could be. I decide to go find a restroom. Along the way there, I start to lose muscle function and my vision starts to blur really bad. I can't focus, so I begin running into people and getting knocked around. Everyone is calling me a "drunk asshole" and pushing me around like a rag-doll In my disarray, I believe them and I immediately forget that I only had 3 beers and begin to delude myself that I drank what felt like 15 beers.

At some point I called someone in my phone (not sure who) and I remember telling them to please help me, because I lost all control over my limbs. Eventually my friends find me collapsed and crumpled next to a chainlink fence near the perimeter of the event. They need to carry me by all four limbs back to the car (I don't remember this part).

Thinking I totally acted a fool (and having the most incredible hangover ever conceived), I called my friend the next day and apologize for drinking so much and how horrible I felt that I made everyone take care of me. Thats when he told me I only had three beers....

So, I can only assume that I picked up a drink meant for someone else, most likely one of the unknown girls we were sitting around. And I'm sure if the punkass who spiked the drink wasn't going to say a damn thing as he saw me chug it down.

Sigh. So...I doubt you got your shit spiked, you probably just overdid it.

I'm pretty sure it was BHP and I actually knew some crazy fuckers who took small amounts of it for fun. But that threshold is easily passed and I can promise you that fun was no part of that night. Oh yeah, and apparently I puked on myself multiple times in those hours that I laid in that mangled mess.
