An influencer has discovered how disturbingly “easy” it is for someone to spike your drink during a night out, while she contaminated her own friends’ cups, as an example.
Shirah Benarde is the founder and CEO of Nightcap, a scrunchie that doubles as a drink cap.
When she’s not selling her creation, the Forbes 30 Under 30 member shares information about the risks associated with a night out on the town on her TikTok channel, where she has more than 113,000 followers.
Most recently, the 21-year-old took to the video-sharing platform to raise awareness about excessive alcohol consumption by recording herself mixing her friends’ drinks during various events.
In the revealing clip, which has so far racked up more than 184,000 views, she “spiked” her friends’ drinks by putting candy in them when they weren’t looking to illustrate how “quickly” a predator could take advantage of you.
An influencer has discovered how disturbingly “easy” it is for someone to spike your drink during a night out, while she contaminated her own friends’ cups, as an example.
Shirah Benarde is the founder and CEO of Nightcap, a scrunchie that doubles as a drink sleeve.
She captioned the video: ‘With everything going on with Diddy right now, it’s important to remember this. Don’t let your guard down even at a private party.’
Shirah was referring to the disgraced hip-hop mogul’s arrest on September 16, during which he was charged with sex trafficking, extortion and transportation into prostitution.
Diddy was most recently accused of adding horse tranquilizers to drinks after 120 victims came forward.
In an attempt to shed light on the dangerous realities of enjoying an alcoholic drink at the bar with your friends, the businesswoman shared footage of her throwing candy into drinks when people weren’t looking.
“Adding candy to my friends’ drinks to show them how easy it is,” he said at the beginning of the video.
The video then shows several clips of Shirah dropping candy into her friends’ drinks while they were texting or talking to someone.
As he tossed gum into cans and squeezed sweeteners into glasses, he revealed that most people don’t think about the dangers of leaving their drinks unattended.
She said: “Chances are someone you know is increasing their drinking levels – think about what’s going on with Diddy right now.”

She frequently shows off her (seen) product, which is a scrunchie that doubles as a drink lid.
‘Pre-match events and private events provide a false sense of security. You don’t expect anything to happen but it happens.
“It’s that quick and easy,” he added while pretending to give his friend a hug while he “added” the drink.
Shirah showed how distracted people are under the influence of alcohol as she successfully added drinks, even though the owner was right in front of her drink.
And he added: ‘You are not paying attention. You thought I was asking him a question. Additives can be added to your drink even if it is water.
‘Men get high too, it doesn’t matter if you drink from a can or a bottle. Always watch the bartender prepare your drink and ask for an angel drink if you feel uncomfortable.
The image of an angel is used to signal help and has been explained in many viral videos. Some users have even described different ways to order the ‘drink’ depending on the severity of the situation.
At the end of the clip, the influencer said: “Never leave your drink unattended, with or without a nightcap.”
People across the web flocked to the comments section and praised the content creator for the shocking video.
One person said: “Honestly, this is a fun way to teach your friends to pay attention to their drinks.”

The clip comes amid explosive allegations against Diddy, who is making a third attempt at bail after two previous denials, two weeks after he was arrested on sex trafficking charges.
It has added renowned attorneys Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro to its legal team, which already included seasoned attorney Marc Agnifilo, a former Manhattan assistant district attorney.
The charges, which detail allegations dating back to 2008, accuse him of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years “to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following his arrest, Judge Andrew L. Carter denied him bail after he used his and his mother’s home in Miami, valued at $50 million, as collateral.
The rapper was back in the news after more than 100 victims accused him of putting alcohol in their drink.

According to the Alcohol and Drugs FoundationExcessive drinking is extremely common and often goes unnoticed.
The drug or excess alcohol in your drink may be colorless, odorless, and tasteless, meaning you won’t be able to tell if your drink has been flavored.
Warning signs include: feeling dizzy or faint, feeling sick or drowsy, feeling drunk even if you have only had a little alcohol, passing out and waking up feeling uncomfortable and confused, with blank memories about the night before.
To protect yourself from the dangers of spikes in your drink, carry it with you at all times and keep your eyes on it, even when talking to your friends.
Another way to protect yourself is to ask for an angel photo, which is a product of the ‘ask for Angela’ campaign, which started in Lincolnshire, UK, in 2016.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, awareness of sexual assault was at an all-time high, so Lincolnshire County Council developed the ‘ask for Angela’ campaign.
Many bars and restaurants began implementing the ‘ask for Angela’ campaign, which was designed to prevent sexual violence and encourage those who felt unsafe to ‘ask for Angela’.
When staff received the request, they helped the customer discreetly leave the bar or restaurant and called the police if necessary.
The ‘ask for Angela’ campaign became popular in Europe and caused the United States to develop its own version, known as ‘angel shot’.
Since there are no requirements for bar or restaurant staff to know what the secret drink order means, many on social media have urged those placing the order to check the meaning on their phone or ask the waiter to find out. search.
