Sadly, drug assisted rape is a growing problem. Drinks are an easy target for sex offenders because people forget about potential dangers when they are out having a good time.
Police have launched a campaign to raise awareness about the problem and information cards and posters have been handed out to bars and clubs in north and west Wiltshire.
Victims of drink spiking have spoken about the effects of the drugs with disturbing stories about how their memories have been wiped during a night out.
Unfortunately, even people who seem friendly could be hatching a horrifying plan.
The only way for people to protect themselves is to take extra care.
