The danger at office parties is deemed so serious as to cause authorities to produce a warning televison advert showing a man furtively slipping a pill into a woman's drink at a Christmas party with the words: "Drug rape is happening, don't let it happen to you" A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Sapphire (sexual offences) squad is quoted as saying:
