Melanie, if you are feeling better now then I would try and forget this unpleasant experience and put it down to bad luck
You will never know if someone tampered with your drink or not so you cannot openly accuse anyone, and it could just as easily of been due to a stomach bug.
The lesson learnt here is to guard your drink at all in times at future to ensure you are always safe
Yeah im not feeling 100% but better than i have been and yes im never leaving my drink alone again i dont leave my drinks if im out in a pub but will start not leaving them when im in the house either :-)

If you genuinely believe that one of your friends has done that in your own house, I think you may seriously need to re-evaluate who you have in your circle of friends.

I already have don't worry. I find it difficult to trust people as it is but now my circle of friends is even smaller than it already was.
Thank you for all the advice and suggestions, i'm going to see how i feel tomorrow and if i still dont feel right im going to ring docs and just get checked out.
It probably was just something i ate or a bug or it could have been the wine itself.
Also im not saying they drugged my drink or anything they could have put some other alcohol in it without me knowing as a joke and thats what made me sick and pass out.
I just wanted some advice as ive been so confused about what happened.
Are you on any sort of medication for anything? I've had this happen to me once before when I hadn't bothered reading instructions on some tablets I had to take and proceeded to have a glass or two of wine. Not even half the bottle gone and I was in a similar state to the one you describe, and I'm usually rather tolerant to the effects of alcohol.
Sounds like a sickness bug, though if you continue to feel poorly then see your GP.
Only you know whether your friends are the type of people who would spike your drink.
EDIT: Presumably you aren't taking any medication such as antibiotics at the moment? Certain ones such as Metronidazole can cause severe sickness and stomach pain when mixed with alcohol.
I've known a few people claim that "there must have been something in my drink" after getting legless.
Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but adults spiking each others drinks for a laugh sounds far fetched.
I've been affected after very little alcohol because I was totally knackered beforehand and I really can hold my drink.
I went out with some mates before, had a couple of pints and the next thing i know it was between 2 and 3am, I was a few miles away from where I had been and I had no idea what was going on. The only thing I was able to do was call my grandparents, tell them what was round me and wait for them to pick me up.
I am 100% sure I was spiked by my "mate" that night as I have never gotten so drunk that that has happened to me before. What makes me so sure though is that he has been accused of it before.

When I was in my twenties my housemates (and close friends, to be precise) would often spike each others cups of tea with amphetamines before they went to work. The amount of times I went to work feeling super energetic only to crash completely a few hours later was too much to count on one hand.
It bothers me that virtually nobody is willing to even consider the OP's concerns.
Even so-called friends do bizarre and awful things to each other, sometimes because they think it's funny or sometimes because they've got hidden nasty streak...it's not always easy to completely trust even those closest to you 100%.
I hope you're feeling better OP and if you are really concered a visit to the GP would be worth while. While this might sound paranoid to others in this thread, in the future I'd guard your drinks/food even at home if you've got people around. It's just a necessary evil to be slightly distrusting of even your friends these days.
Empty stomach maybe? My wife and I went away with my dad and his partner earlier in the year and my wife was the same one day after just two large glasses of prosecco. It was as if she had been spiked, she was absolutely slaughtered, and she can usually hold her drink. She couldn't even stand up. We got back to our accommodation and she threw up everywhere then passed out for 12 hours. Was scary.

At least read the thread, OP states she had been eating all day.
There isn't really any way of knowing if it was spiked now though is there?
I used to be very skeptical of these type of stories until the same thing happened to me. I am convinced I had a drink spiked a couple of years ago. No way to prove it so I just chalked it up to experience but it was horrible at the time.

Thanks. I'm still not feeling great so going to ring the doctors and get checked out. This has really made me feel like I can't trust anyone now and will definitely not be having those people round my house again.

Just remember the doctor was in on it in the end..

I agree. From the description of the symptoms it doesn't sound like it could be just a normal reaction to the alcohol; sickness/being drunk/trouble walking is one thing but not remembering what happened and passing out is something entirely different.
Maybe one of your 'friends' thought it would be funny to put an 'E' in your drink and see what happened. Maybe you did had a random extreme physiological reaction to the alcohol. You'll never know so how you want to react is up to you. Personally I would choose to put faith in my friends but remain vigilant in the future.

Long shot i know

I'm going to. Just to check there's nothing wrong
I'm not on any medication
No my wine glasses are kept in a cupboard
So you do think that someone put a substance in your drink.
What does your partner think about his friends' behaviour?
When I was in my twenties my housemates (and close friends, to be precise) would often spike each others cups of tea with amphetamines before they went to work. The amount of times I went to work feeling super energetic only to crash completely a few hours later was too much to count on one hand.
Totally irresponsible, I know.

Sorry Forum Police.

I do think it's possible yes.
He's not happy but can't really say anything to any of them as we don't know for sure what happened.
I don't think it's a sickness bug either
