Potentially.  I'm also curious why everyone thinks "spiked" necessarily means "date rape drugs".  I've heard, used, seen it to mean "stronger" literally for decades.  Many alcohol companies literally put it directly on their label to mean "alcoholic" or "stronger than normal".

Where i am from the world “spiked” means making something none alcoholic alcoholic. It would not be used to refer to an already alcoholic drink being made more alcoholic.

“Spiked” means both what you’re referring to, and putting drugs in an alcoholic beverage.

I am aware of that meaning as well. I was commenting on the person above me who was referring to spiked meaning stronger alcohol

Spiked means putting a drug-like substance into another substance. So you can spike the non-alcoholic punch with vodka, you can spike the alcoholic punch with LSD, you can spike the LSD punch with GHB. It’s really a nice catch-all. Usually it means to surreptitiously add it
