I've been roofied downtown, it was a similar experience. The idiots I was with also thought I was having a psychotic break. If you can not remember it at all at and if it seems extremely out of character behavior for you even if you were blackout drunk, then I'd say yes, it was likely a roofie. Not everyone gets tired, some people trip balls. I apparently was crying, being mean to strangers (extraordinarily out of character for me), and by the end of the night I was apparently babbling about faries, saving the universe, and something something time continuum.

That’s not a new paradigm though, it’s a staple in the issue that is talked about frequently. Saying that the consumer is the issue doesn’t make them bad people worthy of judgment. There’s a whole slew of variables as to why some people are more prone to addiction or what circumstances lead to behavioral addiction.

To that end, it’s not true that “virtually all” paradigms start at the substance. There’s been a huge shift towards mental health and community involvement as treatment for addiction.

This paradigm you’re putting out, however, is derailment from the original point. You believe that this individual who says he was drugged, having memory loss after drinking a routine amount of alcohol, was actually showing his true colors with the alcohol. The drugs didn’t seem to factor in your initial statement. My disagreement is that being drugged is a real problem, secondarily that alcohol abuse isn’t as simple as showing one’s true nature. Watching drunk friends or putting out different paradigms or talking about addiction, while interesting conversations, keeps shifting the fact that you ignored the crux of the incident to tie it into anecdotal experiences you have while others drink, and your philosophy behind this activity.

Getting drugged or getting drunk are two different things, and if you think OP is lying to hide his own mistakes of showing his true self (mostly due to your observations of drunk people, something you enjoy doing) then this argument becomes a matter of opinion and we can leave it at that.

She already told me that she didn’t understand why I was the way I was because we had near the same amount of drinks. She agrees with me there. But instead she’s jumping to psychotic episodes rather than being drugged. I have never had one and have never given her a reason to think so either.

If you cant handle alcohol, maybe you shouldnt drink alcohol. Something here sounds fishy - either you drank more than you thought or you had help. Ask your GF how many drinks you had after writing how many you had, and say have you EVER seen me this way after X drinks. Ask her if she thinks it is possible something was added to your drink. If your # and hers are vastly different you may have a problem. EITHER way, I would say call the people at https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline or similar depending on country of origin of course. They can refer you to people who can help if you were drugged, or simply had too much.

I didnt even read your response either time bc all I needed was to scan and understand you were trying to defend your original statements, which are impossible to defend.

You are dangerous. Please stop talking to me. Please stop misinforming other people too. If anyone ever asks you about how addiction works please just refer them to a professional who knows what addiction actually is- and dont even for a second start spewing them your own version of what is the actual addiction, etc. Again- you are dangerous. Go away.

This reminds me of a story, and I'm not sure if it's an urban legend. Maybe someone will remember. I think it was a tv show and one of the questions to a new wed husband was "Name an unusual place you had sex". He says the car or something. The wife comes back and says, "my arse"?

I’m putting out a different paradigm. To date, virtually all paradigms start from the conclusion that the substance is the issue.

AGAIN: if the substance were the issue, everyone who touches it should become addicted... or like folks who’ve taken opiates to alleviate the pain of surgery, struggle a bit to emerge from that.

But alcohol is not like that. Hundreds of millions of people happily enjoy it, with no hint whatsoever of anything like addiction.

So by process of deduction: ALCOHOL ITSELF IS NOT THE ISSUE.

Issue not the substance. issue is the consumer.

I suspect that OP was not drugged. I don’t know how big of a person they are but it looks like they had 5 drinks in 4 hours.

  • glass of champagne
  • mixed drink
  • shot
  • mixed drink
  • mixed drink

It’s very possible that the drinks had more alcohol than OP expected.

I know adults who don’t drink often, myself included, and that much alcohol would absolutely have me wasted.

Unless OP is an alcoholic with a high tolerance I’d def say it’s the alcohol
