I waited tables on Union Street in Faneuil Hall for years and spiking drinks happens way more than you think. We do our best to make sure people are safe and the bartenders were always looking out but it's busy! in the 9 years I worked in two bars on Union, I remember at least one woman and two men who either disappeared or were found in the Charles. You can see the security footage from the bars before these people just POOF! disappear. Damn. Thanks, Mike, for the spotlight. And to Ms. Ilana Katz Katz: Katz must stand for courage because you are doubly courageous with that song. Such honesty. Love the fiddle. Peace to you. ☮
@@annanm238 yes! when that story came out years ago and I saw it was connected to one of the guys I referenced, I was so surprised and then just so sad. I wonder if anything came of that story. It's always very ominous when someone shows up in the Charles like that. Thanks for your kind words.
My bestie was at a concert in Sac CA. Some guys came into some empty seats next to her. She had wine in her hand but was dancing and not paying attention. The concert ended and her six foot husband ended up drinking it so it wouldn’t be wasted. Within a short period of time he was unable to walk and thankfully she was able to text relatives attending the concert. He basically had to be carried to their car. He never gets drunk. They believe she was the target and the whole incident was horrifying.
My daughter was drugged in a Dixie cup of water. She was with a girlfriend luckily. Went into the bathroom at the bar and was completely incapacitated. Was taken to the hospital. A guy asked her if she wanted a cup of water and she took it. She is not a big drinker. Had one drink and hospital workers were making fun of her when they thought she was asleep saying she was drunk.
This happens everywhere. Don't put your drinks down ever!! I will only drink beer if it's opened in front of me from now on as I was drugged It doesn't take much I only had three sips of my drink. My mind was okay but I couldn't move my body it's very strange feeling and you're in and out unable to move. It lasted for over 13 hours sad😢😢 by the time I was able to get to the doctor I was told what it was but it wouldn't show up if tested.They did it to my girlfriend the same night and I was able to get her out of where we were and she was being molested. 👿
Really enjoyed the show tonite … Good for everyone to be aware of their surroundings ‘ it’s a scary world out there . Thank you, to your guest tonite 😊
Find college’s that are willing (and should be willing) to spread the word… and replay Mike’s video! Years ago… I lived in Cambridge for 10 years.. husband was working at a HUGE bar on Newbury… saw it many times.. 😢😢sadly..
Thank you for this video and speaking out! Very scary. A state with a lot of Colleges. Vulnerable people. Great video for educational purposes and helping people.
I am a senior citizen now. Years ago my friend and I were out in the town, two young woman in separate cars were looking for a spot to park. We were in two cars told them to take our spaces. We said leave together and have fun. They were so young (over 21). I always worry about this.
I tried SO HARD to get the venue to adopt this. I am trying to see what the state is spending the $150K on because part of it should be on contacting alcohol companies to sponsor drink lids, and such... I am continuing to work on so many things. I hit a lot of walls, but I will NOT give up!
@@ilanakatzkatz8681 ILana Throwing out another idea. Could you or would you consider enlisting some good citizens to stand outside the various Boston clubs to collect signatures on petition sheets. A lot of the Berkley School of music staff and students would be respective to a signature collector standing outside with a petition sheet. Many students have playing connections to the clubs. Forward the signatures to Sen.Warren and Markey and Healey I will bet you will be very sucessful getting signatures. Also, the bouncers in the clubs must act as security guards watching for all kinds of behaviors this is suppose to be their job one would think.
My girlfriend and her mother were both drugged at an Alice cooper concert in Mansfield a couple years ago. Both had one beer each. They realized they were drugged the next morning they both came home from work sick
Happens In all countries around the world 🌎 very scary, i believed it happened to me once, absolutely no one gets near my beverage, take your own drinking vessel with a closed lid, honestly this is a major 😢 I wish I’d got a test to find out was in my bloods. Felt very embarrassed to be in that situation.
Oh yeah, didnt take steps to prevent it happening. Dont let people buy drinks for you, you dont know. Im certain she cheated on her husband and felt guilty Im sorry because i know this happens for pretty young girls and stuff. Hell even Happens to dudes I want to know what drugs were in her system.

That is horrible. I remember people getting found in the Charles River and wondered what was going on. Very scary. Thank you for posting.

Licensing Board of Alcohol and ABCC should get involved.
@@KelliSampson in MA?? That board is more corrupt than the MSP!! 😡
Thanks Mike. Eye opening. Very scary and disturbing.
Thank you for this video and speaking out!
Very scary.
A state with a lot of Colleges.
Vulnerable people.

This is so scary it could happen to anyone😢
A shining light… Thank you.
This is done for shits and giggles. And they love to see ppl implode. Sick world we live in.
@@KelliSampson to me it’s far more twisted than that.
This is very scary an informative. Ladies be safe. Watch out for each other. Know the clues. ❤🌸🙏☘️
Happened to my daughter and her group of friends- ALL. Of them- in Salem, MA
If Dunkins can put a lid on it....then the same procedure for club servers in Massachusetts.
I tried SO HARD to get the venue to adopt this. I am trying to see what the state is spending the $150K on because part of it should be on contacting alcohol companies to sponsor drink lids, and such... I am continuing to work on so many things. I hit a lot of walls, but I will NOT give up!

You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You were assaulted. I'm so so sorry.
Does anyone know her website?? Booze and Boston??? Or something like that??
facebook.com/groups/boozeinboston/
Ilana, what did the club's video show????
To me- she looks like Karen, just an older version. And they both smart, brave & determined ❤
Replay!!! 💛🖤💛🖤
