Make bars and clubs in the UK legally provide drink covers.

Closed 368 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to make it a legal requirement for bars and clubs in the UK to provide drink covers for all drinks to prevent spiking. As only having drink covers as an option in only some bars and clubs is not enough.
Statistics quoted from youGOV suggest one in 9 women and one in 17 men have been spiked in the UK. The government need to do more to prevent this happening as spiking is on the rise and clubs and bars are not doing enough to prevent spiking.
