Example of a Drink Safe Anti-Date-Rape Coaster
Drink Safe Technology, one of the many companies owned by Global Special Effects president and founder, Francisco Guerra, is in the media again. Drink Safe Tech produces coasters that can easily test for the presence of date rape drugs in any beverage. The coasters are becoming extremely popular in clubs and bars — especially those located near college campuses such as The University of South Alabama:
MOBILE, Alabama — University of South Alabama Police Chief Zeke Aull is warning women students about date-rape drugs and arming them with cardboard coasters that can detect such substances in a drink.
“We’re just trying to be proactive,” said the chief, adding that there has been no date rape reported on campus.
“We’re trying to create awareness.”
He handed out detection coasters on Thursday, explaining to students that they could test a drink by putting a drop of the liquid onto two spots on the coaster. If either drop turns to a darker color, it’s a positive test.
The coasters are made by Drink Safe Technology in Lexington, Alabama. Francisco Guerra started the company more than seven years ago after a friend was raped while on a date.
