"Hi I'm Donna Barnes I'm a life and dating coach and owner of NY Dating Coach here in New York City. In this clip we'll talk about ways to protect yourself from the date rape drug. And believe it or not that does still happen once in a while so the most important thing is when you get a drink make sure you see it come from the bartender. If someone ever walks up to you and says hey I brought you a drink say oh thank you but I'm not drinking tonight or make an excuse that's polite but never, ever drink something that you didn't see where it originated from. And then once you have it keep it in your possession. If you go to the ladies room or take it with you don't ever leave your drink anywhere especially with somebody that you don't know very well. Unfortunately incidents do happen so and if by chance you are drinking something and you start to feel a little bit funny, like you are not yourself tell somebody. Tell the bartender, get up right away because you might be starting to feel the effects of the drug. Don't just think it's that you are getting drunk if you know yourself. This is Donna Barnes from New York City."
