Drink Spiking: The Shocking Truth

from Sober Awkward

In this eye-opening episode, Hamish and Vic dive into the terrifying reality of drink spiking. After receiving a shocking email from a listener who had experienced this firsthand, they knew it was time to dig deeper into this disturbingly common but often overlooked crime. With alarming statistics revealing just how widespread drink spiking really is, they explore why it remains so misunderstood and underreported. Why do so many victims blame themselves? Is it because of how much they drank, or where they were? Vic felt like it was her fault for just not caring about herself that much....Spoiler alert—it’s none of those things. Hamish and Vic unpack the myths, challenge the stigma, and discuss what needs to change to make nights out safer for everyone. If you’ve ever had that uneasy feeling at the bottom of your glass or want to be part of the conversation to help protect yourself and others, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time to shine a light on drink spiking and make one thing absolutely clear—it is never the victim’s fault. Show Notes Vic's book is out!
