- I heard on TV a long time ago that cranberry juice is also an antidote
- for a drug used by veterinarians, perhaps the same drug.
-
- This drug prevents you from remembering anything you do, while you are on it,
- and it makes you immobile.
-
- Two rapist were putting the drug into the drinks of women they met at
- bars. Then they'd take the women to their vehicles, and rape them.
-
- They finally got caught because one woman drank lots of cranberry juice
- before the attack, enabling her to remember sufficient detail to make an
- arrest.
-
- Anyway, the TV show said the drug is so effective for criminal abuse,
- they wouldn't even reveal its name, except to say it's a white powder
- used by veterinarians.
