I've accidentally spiked myself a couple of times.
First time was on Glastonbury Tor one summer solstice. Having a smoke with a mate and chatting to a hippy dude, hippy dude suddenly says, "Hey! Do you fancy some tea?"

"Sure!" we say - you get parched up there after a while, especially if smoking.

Hippy produces from his bag a little burner, pot, tools, and brews up!

"Good tea, this" he says, and we nod and murmur in agreement, "Made from mushrooms" he says.

"Cool" we say, stoned out of our gourds. "Er ... " I say, a 20-Watt lightbulb in my head flickering into action, as I stare at my now pretty well finished cup, "You mean ... magic mushrooms?"

"Yeah ... " he smiles, a little patronisingly.

"Ah ... "

Some live drum n'bass do - it's in one of the little storage units under one of the railway arches in Hackney somewhere. It's been decked out, has a little stage for the band, DJ and speakers, and even a little bar selling tea, water and cans of beer. There's a bowl of sweets on the bar, day-glo everywhere, and a lot of strobe lighting.

I'm going straight - I love the feeling of being high on E, but I want to try and feel it "clean", so I've necked a couple of Red Bull and am having a great time.

I'm chatting to a friend, leaning on the bar, grab a handful of sweets, and we share them as we chat.

Boy it's a good gig.

Really good.

REALLY GOOD.

Whacked off our faces.

We've got a band rehearsal. It's Friday, we decide to get some beers in. I decide on a few bottles of Guinness.

My drumming is terrible at the best of times. That night it was awful.

Because, unbeknownst to me, I'd discovered Nigerian-strength Guinness.

All the goodness of chilled fizzy alcoholic molasses in one bottle.
