If you've ever had a drink in a club or busy bar then you might be interested to know there is a new way to ensure you never need to worry about who's been near you're glass again.
How? I hear you cry.
A new clear nail varnish with the ability to test for date-rape drugs has been developed by a small team of science students at an American university. Simply dip a polished finger into your drink to test; if the nail varnish changes colour don't drink it. Simple.
This product is the latest in products designed to sense if your drink has been 'spiked'. Products involve a glass that changes colour, lip glosses which change colour on contact are available and others are being developed.
Such a simple and discreet solution to a rapidly growing problem. It's a shame that products like this are needed in our supposedly 'civilised' society but the harsh truth is that it couldn't be brought to market quick enough.
Though this is a problem faced in many countries, the UK and other European countries have thousands of reported cases each year, across America the problem is only getting worse. Collage is slowly becoming a terrifying and threatening place for female students instead of the exciting and accepting place it should be.
The precise date of release for the nail varnish is still unsure but there are assurances it will be available soon so until then we should all keep an eye on our drink and cover the tops of our bottles/glasses when out.
