Sunken ice isn’t a reliable way to spot if your drink’s been spiked

Social media posts warning people to watch out for ice sinking in their drink as a sign it may have been spiked have been shared tens of thousands of times

A number of posts seen by Full Fact use similar wording, which says: “With it being summer and more people are out drinking please remember when drinking if the ice in your drink isn’t floating, there’s something in your drink, as in drugs so make sure to check your drinks and your friends drinks [sic].

“Ice sinky, no drinky.”

This is missing important context, because looking out for sinking ice isn’t a reliable way to spot if a drink has been spiked.

Spiking a drink involves adding either alcohol or drugs to it without the drinker’s knowledge or consent.

How Wolf Bishop Overcame Prison and Addiction to Launch a Career – WP Tavern

In 2005, Timothy “Wolf” Bishop was serving time in an Iowa prison for charges related to a gambling addiction.

“When I was 25, I made a bet that I could not cover,” Bishop said. “I had gambled with a local thug on a local semi-pro baseball game between the Burlington Bees and the Clinton Lumberkings. I bet on the Bees, who lost the game without even scoring.

It was the crimes Bishop committed to cover that debt that got him sent to prison. Now an experienced professional, entrepreneur, and educator, who has spoken at…

Police don’t advise smashing car windows to rescue dogs in hot weather

Claims that “police say” you can smash a window to rescue a dog from a hot car after taking a photograph and waiting five minutes have been shared almost 180,000 times on Facebook

The posts, which encourage others to copy and paste the content in order to share it more widely, say: “Police say if you see a dog locked in a car in case of high heat, take a picture of the dog and the car, call the police, wait 5 minutes and break the car window. 

“This way you will not be charged with criminal damage and will give evidence to the police to take the dog owners to court.”

But this isn’t true. The National Police Chiefs’ Council told Full Fact that the information shared online is “not accurate”. 

A spokesperson for the organisation added: “If you…
