A Video Demonstrates How Easy It Is for a Person to Spike Your Drink

It’s a lesson all young people should learn before they start going to bars and parties where alcohol will be served: always keep your eye on your drink and never, ever take a drink from someone you don’t know.

I’ve heard way too many horror stories from people who had something slipped into their drinks and that’s when really bad things happen.

And a woman named Mell Hall took to TikTok to illustrate just how easy it is for someone to spike your drink. Hall shows a bunch of different examples on her video about how simple it is for predators and creeps out there to pull this off.

Hall said,

“I would have been happy if just one person would have walked away from watching this video and decided to be more vigilant and build safer habits for themselves.”

She added,

“To my surprise, it looks like millions of people are going to re-evaluate how they protect themselves and those around them!

People have been so generous in the comments and have jumped in to give personal anecdotes and share how they keep themselves safer when they go out.”

So, basically… you need to be VERY careful and MUCH MORE vigilant.

Watch Hall’s video very carefully and see how hard it is to even pick up on what she’s doing when she drops the kernels into the drinks.

It’s pretty scary how fast it happens.

Reply to @ivanp19 I feel really icky after doing that… even if it wasn’t real? #besafeeveryone

Please remember to be vigilant and be extra careful when it comes to your drink when you’re out at bars or at parties. As Hall just showed us, it’s very easy to slip something in and a lot of people never notice…until it’s too late.

Have you ever had any experiences with someone trying to do this to you or a friend of yours in a bar before?

If so, tell us what happened in the comments.

We’d love to hear your stories. Please and thank you!

Check Out Lizzo’s Special Recipe for the Hungover Vegans Out There

Lizzo is an icon. And while she hasn’t been active on the tour scene lately, she’s definitely been active writing and making us all jealous of her poolside ways.

But despite the fact that her insta handle is @LizzoBeEating, she doesn’t tend to dedicate a ton of her online space to food content.

When she does though, it’s pretty great.

Recently, she offered up her personal solution to a big conundrum: what do you eat if you’re committed to a vegan diet, but you had a little too much to drink last night?

“Being plant based and vegan has been pretty easy,” she says in a cooking TikTok, “except for when I’m hungover. I used to crave cheesy eggs. So, here is my substitute…”

@lizzo

Might do a what I eat in a day vid because I feel like us fat queens need to represent ?

♬ original sound – lizzo

It sounds pretty good even to us omnivores. Here’s how the recipe breaks down:

1. Carne Asada and Black Bean Corn Mixture

This is the base for the recipe, she talks more about it in a previous video you can watch here.

2. JUST Egg

Add this plant-based egg substitute to the mix.

3. Season to Taste

Lizzo added some garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Add Spinach

Gotta get those greens in there.

5. Slice of Vegan Pepperjack

For a little spice.

6. Fry Up Some Vegan Bacon

Lizzo recommends cooking it in maple syrup so it’s “crunchy and candied.”

7. Enjoy!

Now you’re ready to chow down on what she calls “a really ugly but delicious scramble!”

A few specialty items to pick up for sure, but if you’re already stocking up for a plant-based diet, this sure looks like a recipe to try!

What’s YOUR go-to hangover meal?

Considered the greatest poet in Chinese literature…

Considered the greatest poet in Chinese literature, Li Bai dedicated to alcohol a good chunk of his poems and drunkeness due to his rampant alcoholism. Legend has that he drowned after drunkenly trying to embrace the moon’s reflection upon the river during a ferry-ride. Some of his classic poems on getting hammered are on the […]

Don’t Wanna Risk the Bars During Rona? Try Bar in a Jar!

Can’t make it out to the bars right now? Or feel like maybe it’s a bad idea? That’s probably wise. Fortunately, keeping it to a night in doesn’t mean you have to give up all the fun of the bar experience.

In fact, you can customize and retain a lot of it for way less money than you’d likely spend on a night on the town. One idea that’s been getting a lot of traction for the at-home party / gift idea is the “Bar in a Jar” – basically just a customized collection of drinks festively set in one container for your sipping pleasure!

It’s an easy idea that truly is the complete package. Check out some of these examples that might provide inspiration for your bar in a jar project!

Life’s a Beach

This beach themed container was posted a while back by Instagram account boozekays, which specialized in creating personalized alcoholic arrangements. You can see here how adding just a few simple, inexpensive materials to the display really creates a sense of theme and fun.

The Open Bar

This gift idea comes via the decorating blog Shabby Creek Cottage. They’ve got an entire rundown on how to easily make your own – starting with some simple supplies:

• A large jar with lid (big enough to hold several small bottles)
• 5-7 small bottles of alcohol
• Adhesive Vinyl
• Transfer Tape
• Silhouette Machine + tools

You can see the rest of the instructions here.

Neon Lights

This specialty lid decoration is available from KylerDesigns on etsy for just 8 bucks. Download and print out instantly!

Mason Jar Cocktail Gifts

The website msrachelhollis.com has another guide on a slightly different style of bar jar that’s perfect for gifts of all kinds!

So, if you wanna get to having/spreading some fun but not exactly, yanno, out in the world, turn your boredom into creativity with a bar in a jar! Now if only we could figure out how to fit a steakhouse into one of these things…

Have you tried something like this? How did it turn out?

People Talk About What They’re Really Like When They Get Drunk

There are many types of drunks out there. Some people are a lot of fun, some turn into absolute monsters, and others just fall onto the ground and becoming hysterical, sobbing disasters.

I can tell you what kind of drunk I am: I definitely loosen up and I like to laugh and have a good time. I definitely DO NOT get angry, which I can’t say for some other people I’ve known throughout my life.

AskReddit users got real and opened up about what kind of drunks they are.

1. Who needs a drink?!?!

“The rich kind.

I may be broke as hell and counting my cents earlier that day and waiting for a check, but when I pass a certain point in the evening I start paying shots and beers left and right like if I was a millionaire baby.”

2. Mood = Amplified.

“My general mood gets amplified.

If I’m happy, I get happier. If I’m sad, I get sadder, etc etc etc.”

3. Here’s the plan…

“Drunk me makes elaborate plans to do things with people that sober me never follows through with.”

4. It comes in stages.

“I start out as a fun drunk and then i turn into an emotional and sad drunk.

Then i finish off as a philosophical drunk.”

5. Cheers to my friends!

“I’m typically a quiet, reserved sober that turns into a fun-loving, talkative drunk that wants to befriend everyone around them.”

6. You can do it…now let’s eat!

“I start telling everyone how great they are and that they can definitely pursue their dreams.

Then… I get the munchies.”

7. You are amazing!

“No one is more supportive and encouraging than drunk women in a public bathroom.

Seriously, I have both given and received some incredible compliments to total strangers.”

8. You sound like fun.

“The one who talks about life, death, and existence after two tequila shots.

Also, extremely horny.”

9. Let me tell you my life story.

“Man.

I’m the worst.

I mean, I overshare sober. DrunkMe has no filter AT ALL. I mean, she’s hilarious. But I always wake up thinking “I said WHAT to WHO?!??!?!””

10. Good thing you’re sober.

“Angry, violent and awful. I have an allergic reaction to alcohol that causes me to breakout in handcuffs.

I had nine years sober in April.”

11. Not doing that anymore.

“Happy, pleasantly dozy and distracted, but only temporarily as I’m using booze and drugs to numb things out to the point of black out and not remembering details the next day.

I realized I still have to wake up to the same shit the following day, so what’s the point?

Been sober for 56 days.”

12. Where’s my credit card?

“The “orders crazy shit online” kind of drunk.

So far, I’ve ordered grumpy cat leggings, an embroidery set, socks that make your legs look like chicken legs, the entire Harry Potter series in Dutch and Swedish (I speak neither language), concert tickets, a popcorn machine, a llama flower pot, countless pizzas, and more alcohol.”

13. Here come the insults.

“I’m get giggly and funny.

Unfortunately, the byproduct of this is I also get super insulting. I mean it be funny but not everyone shares my sense of humor. I know I have to shut it down when I start roasting everyone within earshot.”

14. LEAVE ME ALONE, I’M STARVING.

“Hungry drunk.

Drunk me at the pub definitely means loads of oysters, wings and garlic bread will be consumed.”

15. Sharing the love.

“The really touchy kind, really huggy and lovey-dovey, which is weird because I rarely ever hug people.”

16. That’s not good.

“Sad and angry, which tends to lead to violence.

I commented on something similar before and I got absolutely destroyed by people saying it’s my choice to be a sad angry drunk and that I’m just a pussy who wants to be hard.

I just want to be happy and not hurt people, which alcohol takes that choice away from me but apparently people seem to think it’s my decision to punch walls and cry about how much I hate my life.”

17. The life of the party.

“Anyone who knows both sober and drunk me can definitely tell when I’m starting to get a buzz.

I suddenly become very chatty and before anyone knows it, I’m walking up to strangers and talking to them, making new friends that I’ll likely never see again.”

18. Okay, time to go to sleep.

“I can go from witty and charming to extremely tired within a minute.”

Open and honest. That’s the way I like it.

Now we want to hear from the readers out there.

What kind of drunk are you?

Everybody’s Drinking on Zoom Now and We’re Totally Here for It

Can’t go to happy hour? You’ve always got the internet to keep you company while you’ve got a drink in your hand. Specifically Zoom, the video platform which has surged in popularity and found itself host to an unexpected array of makeshift online bars and parties.

It’s a phenomenon probably nobody would have predicted, but here we are. And Twitter is talking about it. A LOT.

14. Come on and Zoom

Brought to you by viewers like you.

13. Pace yourself

Or brace yourself.

12. Broadcast slumber

It’s like an accidental self-Truman Show.

11. Nothing to wine about

Hey, I can’t give you any good Riesling not to.

10. Party foul

Did you at least do it off camera?

9. Never grow up

The times they are a’changing.

8. Life as we know it

Leggo my ego.

7. The hangover

Welcome home?

6. White claws

Hey all you cool cats and kittens!

5. Drink & Ink

Gonna come out of this with some fresh tats.

4. Blanket statements

Hey, to each their own.

3. Cried and prejudice

When there’s nobody to hang out with in the afterglow.

2. Internal clocks

According to my watch, it’s tomorrow.

1. Reach for the stars

I guess this counts as trying out some new things?

Maybe this trend will become the new normal. If so, I’d like to claim a position as a virtual bartender. I won’t actually serve anybody drinks but I’ll take a rag and constantly wipe down my desk while saying things like “tell me about it” and “livin’ the dream!” I feel like that’s a service that needs to be filled, no matter the circumstance.

Have you had a drunk Zoom time?

Tell us about it in the comments.

“The Drunk Basket,” when bars in 1960s Istanbul would hire someone to carry drunk people back home

In Turkey, there is still a saying “küfelik olmak”, it means “needing to be carried home in a basket” and it means you are too drunk. These people were called küfeci. To be so drunk you couldn’t walk was called küfe. Apparently, is was a well known thing in Turkey.
