Alcohol named as biggest date rape drug in Ireland
Experts make the claim following a recent study.
Alcohol is the top date rape drug in the country.
That's according to experts who say that women are being secretly given double and treble shots of alcohol which is more common than the usage of date rape drugs.
It comes after a recent study revealed that approximately 80% of rape cases occur when women have consumed alcohol.
Speaking to RedFM News Clíona Sadlier of Rape Crisis Network Ireland says the biggest problem is that blame is sometimes apportioned to women who have been under the influence of alcohol when they are raped.
