Pissed Off

Fascinating Perth university study reveals that most people who think their drink has been spiked are actually blind drunk and have often also been taking drugs themselves.

No surprise that out of the 97 study subjects presenting to hospital for suspected spiking, most were females under 25 and the average - that's average - BAC was 0.2, four times the legal driving limit in Australia.

But were they the victims of nasty predators hoping to render them insensible and have their wicked way?

No - they were simply 'empowered' 21st century girls out binge drinking and well trained to look for someone else to blame for their abject stupidity.

Being a good 21st century doctor, study leader Dr Mark Little enables their continued infantilism by letting them off the hook:

"It's possible someone had bought them drinks with a much higher alcohol content than they expected, presumably with the aim of getting them drunk."

More likely they were just following the example of the Gold Coast Bulletin Go Girls (more on them another day).
