Date rape drugs are substances added to a drink to render a victim unconscious or compliant and able to be easily raped or sexually assaulted, perhaps adding to the effect of an alcoholic drink, generally unknown to the person drinking it. The drug may also be used to allow a victim to be robbed.

In cases of sexual assault, the inability of the victim to say "no" means, under most legal systems, that the attack is legally considered as rape.

Some commonly known date rape drugs are GHB, Ketamine and Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol).

Companies around the world are making or trying to make paper coasters or drink stirries that change color when dabbed with a drink doctored with a date rape drug. These colorless and odorless tranquillisers can lull victims into a semi-comatose state, leaving them unable to remember what happened to them.
