This doesn't surprise me at all. Everyone wants to blame anyone or anything but themselves for their actions. The one time I blacked out I was told that I drank about half a bottle of Absinth during the part I don't remember. I could easily have said that I've had more than that to drink and still remembered it (which is the truth) and the vodka or beer I had was spiked in order to avoid admitting that I drank more than half of the people there combined, but I shrugged and decided not to do it again.
I'm a big advocate of personal responsibility, and bullshit like crying "my drink was spiked" after I saw you pour enough to get me (6'8"/315lbs) drunk into your 115 pound self is not going to get you any sympathy. I drink with my friends enough to know if one of them is acting differently than normal; I've known enough druggies to recognize what most drugs will do to a sober or drunk person and can respond accordingly.

You have 72 hours to test for flunitrazepam before tests are too unreliable to detect it.

There are many cases where our society's idiotic stigma regarding casual sex leads people to feel guilty when they shouldn't. Unfortunately, it's often easier to claim to have been raped than to admit you just wish you remembered it. It would make life a lot easier for those who are actually sexually assaulted.
