Campus Response to Date Rape Drugs:
Protect Yourself


Whether you're at a bar, the student union or in any public situation, keep yourself and your friends safe by doing these simple things:

• Never leave your drink unattended.

• Don't accept open-container drinks from anyone but a bartender or server.

• Attend parties or bars with a group of friends, arranging beforehand to watch each other’s drinks. If you arrive as a group, leave as a group.

• Watch out for your friends. If a friend shows symptoms of date-rape drug ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.

• Signs to look for include: Dizziness and/or nausea, memory loss, breathing or motion difficulties, and acting disproportionately intoxicated relative to the amount of alcohol consumed.
