BOSTON (CBS) — It’s a scary thought: having an illegal drug slipped into a drink at a bar or nightclub.
A Boston entrepreneur has a new simple way to detect date rape drugs.
That’s a good thing because the night scene can get a little crazy when the alcohol flows.
Alexis Johnson of Braintree said she is concerned someone could tamper with her drink.
“It is always something a single woman should worry about, single or married.”
Annie Murawski of Boston added, “When everyone is partying, it is really easy for something like that to happen.”
It just takes a small amount of a date rape drug to knock out an unsuspecting victim. The most common is rohypnol, also known as roofies, and it’s dangerous.

I got roofied once. Managed to make it home in one piece but don't remember anything. If I had passed out in or on my way to the car I probably would have been dead. I was lucky, I left right after I had the drink. I am a big fan of these detection gadgets.
