Reply #26: If they went to the emergency room and said they thought their drinks

[gollygee]

had been spiked with a date-rape drug, at least some of those women must have been victims of rape, don't you think? It seems like a fair jump IMO. If a woman goes to the emergency room, it isn't likely to be just because she passed out.

If you read the article that is linked in the OP's article - http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23385868-details/Drug%20rape%20myth%20exposed%20as%20study%20reveals%20binge%20drinking%20is%20to%20blame/article.do - it sounds even more like they were in emergency rooms being treated at least in some cases for rape.

How do you read this?

Last month a personal safety campaigner claimed that Rohypnol had never been used to assist a sexual assault in the UK. Doctors carrying out the latest study at the Wrexham Maelor Hospital said it was far more likely women were claiming their drinks had been spiked as an "excuse" for binge-drinking.

The 12-month study was based on 75 patients - mostly women - treated in casualty who told doctors their drinks had been tampered with in pubs or clubs.
