Any freebies to stop drink spiking???

Options
I had my drink spiked this weekend and i was just wondering if anyone knows of any freebies that could help stop it happening again.

I've heard of test strips that you test your drinks with and caps that you can put on your bottle, anyone know if i could get these free???

Any help welcomed!

Thanks

    Hi,

    Don't if you're a student, but if you are (or have any friends who are) it would definately be worth asking in your student advice centre / students union. They are often handing out things like this, and should be especially inclined to give you some if you explain what happened. Sorry I can't help more. Hope you are ok

    Not 100% sure but a little while ago the big brewerie companies and local police were giving out this sort of thing, may be worthwhile getting in touch with them

    seen them once in a club, but always cost money-bizarre really, they should be made to put them on girls drinks,

    but then companies would rather sacrifice a girls safety for $$, easiest sollution is..don't go to the nasty tacky clubs like Ikon/Diva/Time/Liquid etc, all the chains , commercial, full of trouble

    altho thats off topic-sorry to hear you got spiked

    About a year ago I posted this freebie

    from http://www.spikey.co.uk/
    The offer is no longer available but it might be worth contacting them and ask for a sample?

    Best free anti-spike method I know is to drink bottled drinks & keep your thumb over the top of the bottle;)

    I've seen bottle caps in Tesco which you just put a straw through but I think they were in the selling-off bit so don't know if they'd have them anymore.

    no idea how much they are i'm afraid, but sainsburys sell something you puit in top of bottle as an anti spiking thing, might be worth a look there.

    hope you are ok,
