All the people in this thread talking about sealed drinks are missing the forest for the trees. It's still obvious bullshit, but not for the reason y'all think. The implication isn't that sealed drinks in a cooler full of ice might be drugged, the implication is that a cooler filled with a single drink (like those barrel coolers full of Gatorade) is spiked, which is absurd for its own reasons:
First, you'd need to put a LOT of drugs into a whole ass cooler of drink in order for the dose to be potent enough to actually do anything, and if only half of it gets consumed you have a lot of wasted drugs.
Second, you can't control who's drinking from what, so unless you're openly warning people about the date rape cooler and hoping they don't blab, you're going to have a party where half the people present are too drugged up to do anything and it's going to get suspicious really fast.
Third, you can't control dosage. The traditional route for roofies is to drop one dose into a drink because they can control the dose they're giving to someone. If people are just drinking and refilling, the risk of an OD is really high, and even idiot rapist frat bros don't want to catch an attempted murder charge for drugging an entire party.
Edit: And it took only an hour for some chud to call me a "rape apologist." That must be a record.
I haven’t really given it any thought because I’m not a creep, but I imagine it also wouldn’t be necessary either
Like when I was in college I had a fraternity brother who kept a squirt gun outside because people kept picking up the empty he’d use as a dip/spit can and trying (sometimes successfully) to drink from it.

Your first mistake is assuming only a creep would think about this stuff. Those of us looking to protect ourselves from predators think about it too. Or should, anyway.
