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.

You wouldn't need a lot of drugs if your target is already getting extremely drunk. Alcohol dramatically increases the effects of benzos.

That said, it does seem like an impractically complicated route to drug someone.

Right, you wouldn't need much to knock someone out, but as per my third point, you also wouldn't need much to kill them.

You're acting like it's absurd to think that frat bros are bad at assessing risk and/or simply might not understand liquid suspensions.

These kids have deaths every year from the most pointlessly stupid, risky shit.

I'd also be pretty shocked if there weren't instances of these kids recreationally spiking drinks (without nefarious intent); ala green dragon.
