The Sip Safe Wristband Can Test Your Drink For Drugs

from the safer-sipping dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

The Sip Safe wristband lets you dab on a drop of your drink to test if it's been spiked.

You learn the rules early when you go to gigs, festivals and bars: Always keep an eye on your drink. Watch out for strangers. Be careful who you leave your glass with.

But now an Australian invention could change that (and put less onus on young people -- especially women -- to completely change the way they act when they're out).

The Sip Safe is a wristband designed for concerts and festivals that lets you test for drugs in your drink. Dab a drop of your drink onto the two spots on the band, wait two minutes till the liquid dries, and if the spots turn darker blue, that's a sign that your drink could have been spiked.

It's not the first invention designed to make drink safety easy -- we've seen drug-testing drinkware, sensors that look like swizzle sticks and even nail polish that tests for date-rape drugs.

    It seems you expect to just simply be privileged enough to never become victimized by a criminal, to the extent that you're willing to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.

    Let me know when men and women both become angels. You and the VIM guy need to get together. I'm looking forward to the paradise where the body is capital and rape just magically doesn't happen unless it's stipulated in voluntary agreement.
