    Having the ability to test drinks this simply is somehow a negative to you. What a weird take.

    Have you ever even drank alcohol, or been in an environment where this occurs?

    There’s a vast difference between getting drunk and how incapacitated these drugs make someone. They can even just seem drunk, for a while - at least until their attacker gets them away from the crowd, which is much easier when a drug incapacitates someone so suddenly.

      As someone who’s recreationally used GHB and its relative GBL, it can fuck you up way beyond severe intoxication in 15-30 minutes. I’ve seen people have a blast on 1.5 mL of GBL, but be comatose on 2 or 2.5 mL. GBL is one of the recreational drugs with the lowest therapeutic ratios I’ve ever experienced. The window from “I’m not feeling anything” to “feeling great” to completely passed out, unable to be awoken by any means is maybe 1.5 mL.
