The world nowadays, is full with "farked up" guys who look at girls as a sex object, which in turn causing sex crime to increase. The common use of pepper spray or krav maga or both in protecting oneself from being raped certainly makes the male antagonist to be creative, hence, the date and rape drug.
In Malaysia, I believe the use of alcohol is not so often, plus people kinda look weird on you if you consume alcohol without medical purposes. Hence, the "farked up" men now use some kind of strong sleeping pills which I think is legally obtained. But rest assured girls, with the new smart straw will help you in ID-ing whether your drink is drugged or not.

From Tel Aviv university's school of chemistry, Professor Fernando Patolsky and Doctor Michael Ioffe have designed a sensor which looks like a straw or stirrer that will test the presence of drugs by sucking a small amount of the drink and the chemical reaction that follows will change the color of the sensor.

| Just dip the sensor in your drink and voila, you'll know. |
According to the experiment done so far, a 100% in accuracy for GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and ketamine. The next step will be rohypnol, another common date rape drug. All of these were odorless, colorless and tasteless, well obviously or else you'll change your drink.
The formula for the sensor is inexpensive and marketable but in order to communicate the danger of the drink, scientists may need to add features, for example a message text to your phone when the danger is present. Or else, the asshole may notice that the straw changes its color and this will spook him off.
Well, though first date is supposed to be a happy date, having this will surely become a mood killer for you. Anyway, it's for your safety.
