If you find yourself going to a venue where you think one of these would be handy, shouldn't you just not go?

  It can happen anywhere, it's not just in seedy bars, I've know it to happen(at least here in the UK) in clubs with otherwise good reputations.

    That makes sense, for the same reason that pickpockets rarely look like seedy hoodlum types, and instead blend in with the crowd.

  That's where I think this product can't really be considered a consumer product. It would be much more useful for businesses. At first glance, the same criticism holds for a bar that has these ("you think your patrons are rapists?" or "that place is so bad it needs those cups" spring to mind). But I feel like that's just a marketing challenge. Instead, I think the company selling the cups could market them with focus on the avoidance of sexual assault and make their customers (bars/clubs) look like community leaders. Maybe they'll even have a cool little symbol to plaster beneath the neon signs. I have a hunch that that symbol could sway more customers than the availability of Bud Light. Just some of my thoughts.

  You'd be surprised. I'm fairly sure I was drugged one night out at a club in London while out with coworkers. Fairly upscale place, very rough experience.

  No, I think the rest of civilization should be warped around preserving "bar culture" and our best minds should be eternally in a cat and mouse game of straw maker vs underground organic chemist. (Note I was kidding) Going out drinking is no longer a sane activity. So don't.
