Globe - - A measure by Stephen J. Murphy proposes that the city require -- or at least encourage -- bars to make available thin plastic membranes, about the size of a coaster, that are designed to seal the mouth of a glass. The aim is to deter predators looking to put drugs into the drinks of intended victims. Proponents add that the devices also prevent spills during nightclub dancing.

Another day, another proposed bar law. Another day, another proposed bar law. UB has really had enough. This one is just silly...A lid for my drink? "Thin plastic membranes?" Is Stephen Murphy insane?

First of all the possibility of getting roofied is just part of the deal when going to a bar. It's like taking away peanuts at a baseball game. You just can't do it.

Also imagine the arrogance of the chicks who choose to use a lid on their cup?Basically what they're saying is that they think they're so hot that you have no chance to hook up with them unless you roofie them. I think that's being a little presumptuous don't you? The good news is that you'll know what chicks have low self esteem by those who choose not to protect their drink. It should be like taking candy from a baby at that point.
