Why it Matters

Drink spiking is real. It can happen anywhere, to anyone.

The substances most commonly used in drink tampering are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it. That is why awareness and access to the right tools make all the difference.

22%

Of college students surveyed at one U.S. university reported being a victim of drink spiking while enrolled. Most incidents go unreported.

GHB+K

GHB and Ketamine are the two most common substances used to tamper with drinks. Both are colorless, odorless, and tasteless -- and both are detectable with the Drink Safety Screening Tool.

First

When it comes to student well-being, we believe in leading, not reacting. SLU is the first institution in the Greater St. Louis region, spanning both our Missouri and Illinois campus communities to introduce a coordinated, drink safety screening initiative. By implementing this program ahead of the curve, we are ensuring that we remain a blueprint for proactive campus safety.

Spiking does not always look like a stranger.

It can happen at a party with people you know. In a trusted space. At an on-campus event. Drink spiking is not just a dark-bar problem -- it happens in familiar places, by familiar people. That is why awareness, not just caution, is the first line of defense. This initiative gives every Billiken the tools to look out for themselves and each other.

Spiking does not always look like a stranger.
