As students return to university, the risks of drink spiking remain a major concern, with anti-spiking campaigners urging awareness of symptoms that may indicate someone has been targeted. Despite a decrease in reported spiking incidents over the past three years, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary highlights the importance of vigilance, especially during fresher's fortnight when new students are more vulnerable. The police are collaborating with local bars and universities to educate students about the dangers of leaving drinks unattended or accepting drinks from strangers. Signs of potential spiking include heavy limbs, inability to speak, and symptoms that appear more rapidly than alcohol effects. The university is promoting safety measures and available support resources for students who may feel at risk or have experienced spiking. Proactive steps like pouring one's own drinks and maintaining awareness in social settings are encouraged to enhance safety.
