# Roofies may have a bitter taste when dissolved in alcohol; be alert to a strange taste in your drink.

# When placed in a light-colored drink, the newer roofies will turn the beverage blue. If your waterorgin and tonic turns blue, dump it and become especially alert; someone has tried to drug you. The older roofies won't change the color of your drink.

# If you suddenly feel unusually drunk after just a small amount of alcohol, quickly ask for help (preferably not from the strange man next to you at the bar who may have given you the roofie) - you might have just a few minutes of alert behavior left to you.

# Don't drink anything you did not open yourself or that you didn't see being opened or poured.

# Don't accept a drink from someone you don't know unless you see it being opened or poured by a bartender.

# Always watch your drink at parties and bars. If you leave your drink unattended, get a fresh oneto be on the safe side.
