A teenager remembers the fear of a warning to people going to a New Year's Eve party

A teenager who 'lost control of his organs' after a late-night binge has issued a stark warning to New Year's Eve revelers.

Aimee Glass, an 18-year-old student from Suffolk, told The Independent he was beaten by freshers in a week in September. He became ill after two drinks at the bar and two more at the club.

“I had a fever and was sick,” she said. “It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It was like no sickness I had ever felt when I was drunk or drunk.

“I was very scared because I wasn't sure what was going on. I could not hear my limbs properly or speak properly. To my friends, I described the last moments of my vision as like a kaleidoscope vision and became very blurry.”

Ms Glass said she lost her sight completely within half an hour of not feeling well – adding she could barely walk or talk.

“At that time, I was unresponsive so an ambulance was called by the team manager,” he added. “The club manager thought I was tired of seeing my students. I stayed in the ambulance for six hours because there was no room for me to enter the hospital. I've been in the hospital for about two hours – the hospital said it was suspected that I was rolling.”

Ms. Glass said she did not speak for seven hours after the nail was inserted as she remembers her health getting worse while she was in the ambulance.

“My friend who was in the ambulance said my eyes kept wandering around the back of my head,” he continued. “I couldn't control my body, I couldn't control my bladder, I ran into the ambulance.

“I felt pain in my eyes where he had been retreating. I couldn't relate a good day or later, my speech took a few days to get back to normal, it was slurred and slow and I couldn't think of words.”

Ms. Glass recalled that the paramedics told her it was a serious case while she was in the ambulance and the police were called. He said he had a really bad headache for weeks afterwards

The police came to visit him the next morning and he did a toxicology report. He said he was told that it would take six weeks for the results to come out, but it ended up taking 12.

Ms Glass said: “The police did not contact me at all to give me more information. I went into the police station at 11 weeks. The receptionist said they made a mistake and that's why it was delayed.

“On boxing day, I got a call from the police saying that no drugs were found in my system, they will close the case. Hearing that was very shocking. We called the police so they can find out what went wrong and get more information.”

He said the ordeal has left him very anxious about going out – adding that he sometimes gets angry before he goes out as he feels like he's still remembering that time.

His comments come as campaigners advise those going to parties, bars, pubs and clubs on New Year's Eve to be careful. Spiking can involve adding alcohol or drugs to drinks, as well as needle spiking where victims are injected, or vapes or cigarettes.

Colin Mackie, chairman and founder of Spike Aware UK, said: “The time leading up to New Year Bells is a time for many of us to come together and continue the ongoing celebrations.

“While we at Spike Aware UK want you to have a great time, we also want to make sure you stay safe. Sadly, however, many stop being cautious about swinging their arms around this time of year. In fact, in most cases the victims are adults”.

Mr Mackie warned anyone who could become a victim of spiking as he asked revelers to be careful about gear.

“We urge people who go to the party wherever they are, have fun, but stay alert, take care of your drink and your friends, welcome 2025 safely,” he added.

Justice Minister Alex Davies-Jones recently told Politics Hub on Sky News that there were almost 6,000 reports of gunshot wounds last year but it is not known how big the problem is as fraud remains an under-reported crime.

Labor has revealed plans to criminalize drinking alcohol as part of the government's crackdown on violence against women and girls.

Helena Conibear, chief executive of the charity, the Alcohol Education Trust, said: “Please remember that drinking can happen at private events as well as in pubs and clubs, so we have to be careful and look out for others.”

The perpetrators must realize that “the night economy is making great efforts to increase detection and training and the police have a team that is willing to fight the perpetrators and face the law,” he warned.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight police have been contacted for comment.
