How often are drinks spiked
where you live?
We don't actually know. That uncertainty is a problem
Drink spiking is widely discussed, emotionally charged, and inconsistently measured.
Stories circulate. Statistics conflict. Confidence is low.
This initiative exists to change one thing only: visibility.
Participation is Anonymous. Email is optional.
A message from the Founder
What this is
This is not a product launch.
This is not a campaign.
This is not an accusation.
It is an open attempt to measure a real-world safety issue at population scale. Calmly, ethically and without speculation.
For too long, drink tampering has lived in anecdotes rather than data.
That gap serves no one.
If the problem is rare, the data will show that.
If the problem is common, the data should expose it.
This initiative does not exist to prove a narrative.
It exists to make uncertainty visible.
What we are doing
We are collecting anonymous, voluntary participation data to observe patterns, not individuals.
At scale, patterns matter.
They inform research
They shape policy
They change behaviour
No personal identity is required to participate.
What this is not
This is not a reporting tool for criminal accusations.
This is not a replacement for law enforcement.
This is not a diagnostic system.
This is not designed to confirm individual incidents.
It is a visibility project. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Who this is for
Members of the public who believe safety should be measurable
Researchers seeking population-scale signals
Journalists interested in data, not fear
Policymakers who require evidence before action
Participation strengthens the dataset whether you stay involved or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a reporting tool for drink spiking incidents?
No.
This initiative is not a reporting system for crimes, accusations or individual incidents. It does not replace law enforcement, medical services or formal reporting channels.
It exists solely to observe patterns at scale, not to validate or adjudicate individual cases.
Q: What data do you collect about participants?
Participation is designed to be anonymous by default.
We collect:
broad time windows
general locations (eg. city or postcode sector)
contextual information only
We do NOT collect:
names
exact addresses or GPS data
identifying personal details
free-text accusations
Email addresses are optional and are not linked to participation data.
Q: How accurate is the data?
The project does not claim accuracy at the individual level.
It does not confirm substances, intent or outcomes.
It seeks to observe signals, not certify incidents.
At population scale, aggregated signals can still be valuable, particularly when examined by qualified researchers using appropriate methods.
Q: Why is this being led outside of academia or government?
Large data gaps often persist not because they are unimportant, but because they sit between institutional boundaries.
This initiative exists to make the data visible and available, so it can later be interrogated by researchers, journalists and policymakers with appropriate expertise.
Leadership here is about creating the process, not owning the conclusions.
Q: What happens to the data?
If successful, the aggregated dataset will be made available to researchers, journalists and policymakers under appropriate ethical constraints.
The purpose is transparency, not control.
If the data shows the issue is rare, that matters.
If it shows the issue is widespread, that matters too.
Either outcome is more responsible than uncertainty.
