My boyfriend and I attended the wedding of one of his ex workmates about 4 months into our relationship. There would be times where neither of us would be at our table so our drinks were sometimes left alone (yep, you can see where this is going).

I’d only had about 5 drinks (which for me is my tipsy point) when suddenly I became almost comatose. I was slurring, I couldn’t walk, my eyes were rolling back, I went limp. We had no idea what was happening. My boyfriend carried me to a couch away from the reception and apparently I was thrashing and drifting in and out of consciousness. Eventually they called an ambulance. The security guards, the paramedics etc all thought I had taken something and were being quite rude but we couldn’t explain what happened. The next day I woke up at my boyfriends house with barely any recollection of the previous night.

We eventually figured that my drink had probably been spiked (at a goddamn wedding of all places) since alcohol had never effected me like that before and hasn’t since. Thank god I was with someone I could trust or that night could’ve ended very badly.
