How to tell...

I think this is most suited to health. I'm interested in knowing if anybody has any ways to tell if your drink has been spiked or not or if simply you drank too much.
I'm worried that last night my drink was spiked, but i'm not completely sure. I've been drinking for a few years now and whilst i normally drink sensibly and don't go above my limits, there are a couple of times when i've gone over the top and paid the consequences.
Last night i didn't drink more than i normally do, nor did i drink anything out of the ordinary. I had a martini, a tequila, a couple of small cocktail shots, 2 bottles of breezer and a vodka coke. My friend and i were then bought a vodka redbull each. That was my last drink, but it was after that one that things started getting out of control.
I was being sick last night, could barely walk and this morning i'm feeling really week and dizzy, i've not been out of bed all day! just been drinking lots of water etc. If it was just this i wouldn't be so worried that my drink had been spiked, but as i also have huge memory gaps, ie several hours worth, then i think it may have been. Even if i have gotten really drunk i can normally remember everything that's happened, maybe some things only vaguely but i still remember them!
Another thing that makes me think it might have been a drugged drink is that my friend who i was out with drank less than me, but was in as bad a state as i was, infact worse as she was passed out on her bed completely out of it. She also has no memory of a lot of things.
I know that a few of the people i was out with had taken some drugs, but i don't know if any of them would have slipped anything into our drinks. I hope not, but they're only my coursemates not my friends.
So that's the background information. I'm glad that it's over but i'm just curious as to whether this actually was drink spiking. Cos i was quite scared! Luckily it all turned out okay but it is not something i want to be repeating.

but if you are feeling a few of the things i just mentioned then its possible you may have been spiked with xtc or even pure mdma, however i dont think you'd really get memory loss from it... not sure i've been much help to you here actually lol! sorry!! hope you feel better soon anyway! xx
Be careful.
Most of the alcohol came out of bottles that were the same brand as what i drink in england,although that doesn't necessarily mean that what's in the bottle is what it says on the outside, but it could well have been the vodka. I've been talking to another few people who were out last night, who were drinking stupid amounts and they say that they've also got a bit of a memory loss, so leans towards the alcohol, as i was fine until i drunk the vodka redbull.
It could have been GHB or a similar drug, mixing it with alcohol cause you to be dizzy, weird vision, sickness and memory loss, though with the amount of alcohol taken you should have collapsed so it was probably dodgy alcohol.
Being away from home in strange land surrounded by foreign things is disorientating and you will inevitably crave home comforts and familiarity. Ex-pats generally react in two ways - form cliques with other expats and try and forget that they are away from their homeland; or try and mix with the locals as much as poss and get on with life as if you are at home.
As for alcohol, it only takes one dodgy drink to make you feel rough.
I'm mainly craving home foods lol. altho i agree i am also craving the familiarity and the ease of being in England, China is still a developing country and whilst it's a quick development, it's still so far behind what i'm used to!
What on Earth are you talking about?! Her experience does not tally with MDMA in any shape or form. That and MDMA is very very bitter tasting and would be hard to get anyone to swallow without knowing.
It could have been a sedative (lets not debate on which, we dont know) but I think the more likely option is dodgy alcohol.
Ahhh! Thats another thing, I was forgetting your location, they re-use straw's and so on, I wouldnt get ice (unclean water) or straw's.
