There is a certain bar on the eastside, that whenever anyone mentions going there, I cringe. This bar's reputation is less than stellar. I"ve heard countless stories of women going there and having the date rape drug slipped into their drinks. Now for legal reasons I can not divulge the name of said bar, but chances are most of you reading this already have some idea.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I did work with a girl who was at this particular bar on New's Eve and ended up having to be carried out by friends after a couple of beers. This girl could drink most men under the table, and was in perfect health just an hour before. One is lead to believe some a-hole considered his options of either being a gentleman and getting to know her, or not willing to work too hard for something he probably wasn't going to get anyway. My guess is she left her drink unattended while using the restroom and he took advantage of the opportunity.

Friends and I were thinking of a place to hangout a few weekends ago, and someone yelled out the bar's name. Before I had a chance to object, someone had beat me to it. Saying "don't you know about that place"? Clearly the word is spreading, and women are discovering that a night there may end with them in a hospital gown hours later. Now to be fair there is no guarantee that your drink won't be spiked at any bar you're at, but this one seems to increase the odds.

The horrific stories of all the shady doings goes back years. I'm sure not every night there ends with a woman being violated in some way or another, but I'm willing to bet that it happens more often than not (based on all the stories). Not only do we as women have to worry about some jackass trying to cope a feel while trying to squeeze by us in a crowded bar, but now we have to clutch our drinks for dear life and never let them out of our sights.

I can't say how many of the stories are true, but I think I've heard enough to not want to find out personally.
