date rape drugs

Drink-spiking sedatives

Date rape drugs are substances used to incapacitate someone for sexual assault, typically slipped into drinks without the victim's knowledge.

The most common are GHB, Rohypnol, and ketamine, which cause sedation, confusion, and memory loss.

The term emphasizes the predatory context: She suspected her drink had been spiked with a date rape drug.
