OK having read the article a few points.

First, the word RAPE only appears in connection with the common term for those types of drugs. No where is there any information as to whether or not these 75 women were assaulted.

Second, this study does NOT try to claim that most allegations are false. It states exactly what they found, of the 75 women they tested, none had any traces of the drugs. Now, it may be true these drugs dissipate quickly although i would not think reputable researchers would ignore this fact.

And finally, not from the article itself but one bit of information that may shed some light on this. Binge drinking has become a serious problem in England. Men and women have been drinking themselves into a stupor to the point that it is becoming a minor health crisis. Public campaigns have been launched to address this issue.

So, it is ENTIRELY possible that these 75 women drank too much and were not the victim of adulterated beverages. This does not mean that date rape drugs are not used, that rape is not a serious crime or any other nonsense as has been suggested in this thread.

It does seem to indicate that some people underestimate their capacity for alcohol. Period.
