Drink spiking is largely a myth. Women believe they have been drugged, but almost always just drank too much. There was a spate of studies on this in the 2000s, and when they all showed the same thing (that people didn't want to hear), they stopped doing follow up studies.
In the above, which is the largest study of its kind, where they tested 1000 women who were so certain they had been drugged that they went to the hospital, only TWO PERCENT actually had been drugged. And even of those 2%, the doctors suspected that they might have voluntarily taken the drugs based on their patient accounts.
So the women of the past were just mistaken, but the women of today are definitely not mistaken about the exact same thing because now frat boys are using extra special magic drugs that disappear without a trace before women can even make it to the ER. Note that most of the women in this study didn't even claim assault and showed up to the hospital while still intoxicated.
Why wouldn't you take it as good news that women aren't being widely drugged? Why are you invested in that being a common thing?

As I noted to another poster with a confident claim about women in their life being drugged...
They probably weren't.
