66. Exactly, but even so, it's flawed.
Obejective: To assess the scale of drink spiking in our area and identify which drugs are being used to spike drinks and also to assess whether there is a problem with drink spiking in any particular establishment.

All it really has assessed is the reliability of the self-diagnosis of people who have checked themselves into a specific clinic believing they have been drugged, so it hasn't even really achieved its objective. It is interesting, but it concludes none of what some people are assuming it concludes. How many people even go to an emergency clinic if they assume they've been drugged. I'll bet a sizeable proportion wakes up and forgets about it, especially if they haven't been raped. A lot of people waking up knowing they had just been raped would either call the cops or, as we unfortunately know many people do, try to ignore it and go take a shower. Which would make the survey much less reliable.
