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.

I was not drinking that night. Some guy I thought was my friend gave me a pitcher of beer he said he just bought it and had to go. I was not planning on being there so I had a drink or two and then left. I got a flashback of a memory of me slurring to the bartender something I had not remembered before when I left. I never remembered before leaving. I must have barely made it home. I am sure they were waiting for me to pass out in the bar. I had dated the bartender and it did not go well and I think some of her friends were planning revenge.

Hmm If it didn't get well, why revenge on you? Maybe they was Just jealous Or, something?

This was total bar scene stuff. I had just gotten my divorce and was on a crazy tear. It was lots of alcohol, lots of late nights and lots of bar drama. I did not make the best decisions during that time and neither were the people that I was hanging around. I was lucky to get out of that phase in one piece.
