Deasy, PLCB, PSP and others Announce Spiked Drinks Awareness Tools

State Rep. Dan Deasy, D-Allegheny, Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Chairman Darrell Clarke, Pennsylvania State Police Major Robert L. Bailey and Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association President Tom Tyler today unveiled a new poster to spread awareness of drink spiking.

Posters with the tag line "Never Leave Your Drink On Its Own" will be made available to bars, restaurants, hotels and other liquor licensees; institutions of higher education; and other partners in prevention to raise awareness of the dangers of drinks being spiked. The posters provide tips to prevent drinks from being spiked, signs to indicate a drink has been spiked, and common physical symptoms of drink spiking.

An additional, smaller informational resources with similar visuals and more detailed messaging will also be available.

"We all know that the act of spiking drinks exists," Deasy said. "I've told all of my adult children to never leave their drink unattended. That includes non-alcoholic drinks. But unlike other types of dangers, we don't seem to acknowledge this outside of a private family conversation. People have been assaulted and robbed through spiked drinks, and we need to bring this issue to light. This is truly about safety, and we want to make the public aware."

Speaker List:
Representative Dan Deasy
Darrell Clarke, Chairman, PA Liquor Control Board
Tom Tyler, President, PA Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association
Major Robert L. Bailey, Director, Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement
