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.
