I wish I knew more about this story, but this should be 100% standard procedure in every bar or club.
#to anyone wondering why react this way?#odds are they drugged more than one person#and this way no woman needs to feel singled out as a potential victim#sends the message that people who do that aren't welcome there and they're actively ruining the night for others#and gives anyone who might have been drugged a place to go to get help (via @wingedkiare)
mmm, the odds are likely LOW that they drugged more than one person, BUT
they tell EVERYONE to get a new drink so that nobody is singled out, AND so every woman has an excuse and public support to walk away briefly from a situation that might have been getting uncomfortable and know she’ll have backup, AND so that the person who did it can’t retaliate against their target in a “c’mon don’t you trust me” way
predators don’t usually crop dust with roofies but they do manipulate and take advantage of women’s socialized training to not make a scene, so the bar takes that part out of the equation by “ruining the good time” themselves and making the scene
