One million UK adults had drink spiked last year, new study suggests

Almost one million UK adults were victims of drink spiking last year, a shocking new study suggests.

In what is the most comprehensive survey on the crime so far, around 2 per cent of Britons polled last year reported being a victim of spiking in the previous 12 months, which would equate to nearly one million people if reflective of the population at large.
