Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the mechanisms and chemistry involved in detecting spiked drinks, particularly in relation to common drugs used for this purpose. Participants explore the challenges of finding relevant information and the implications of researching this topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks information on the chemicals that react to common drugs used to spike drinks.
  • Another participant questions the research efforts of the original poster and prompts them to share what they have found.
  • A participant expresses difficulty in finding relevant chemistry information and suggests starting with terms like 'date rape drugs' for better search results.
  • Concerns are raised about the appropriateness of a design student researching this topic, suggesting it may be more chemistry-focused.
  • Participants express discomfort regarding the implications of search history related to sensitive topics.
  • One participant comments on the societal implications of surveillance and the importance of evidence in cases of drink spiking.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the appropriateness of the topic for a design project, and there is a mix of concern and curiosity regarding the implications of researching spiked drinks.

Contextual Notes

Participants indicate uncertainty about terminology and the scope of available information on the chemistry of drink spiking detection.

TL;DR
project.
Hi guys I am doing a graphic design project and I would need to know how this tests to check if your drink is been spiked works. Whats the chemical that react to the most common drugs used?

thank you so much!

What research have you done so far? What have you found out?
 
Can't find anything related to the chemistry of it... I am not even sure I am using the right words when searching. I am a design student...

You could start with 'date rape drugs' in Google/wiki.

Unfortunately there is more than just one drug out there. You may get info on anti spiking that way.

It seems a bit of an odd subject for a graphics designer? More chemistry based?
Also it is not the sort of thing I would want on my search history if I was a student.

I feel sorry for people who have to live with Big Sister looking over their shoulder every second.

If you have nothing not hide you have nothing to hide. If some guy spiked my sister's drink then I hope the authorities look into his search history when he is arrested.
It is just part of the evidence.
