TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Codeine-spiked beer in a date rape case? JO - International journal of legal medicine A1 - Havig, Stine Marie A1 - Wiik, Elisabeth A1 - Karinen, Ritva A1 - Brochmann, Gerd Wenche A1 - Vevelstad, Merete SP - 1513 EP - 1518 VL - 130 IS - 6 N2 - A case of suspected drug-facilitated sexual assault, involving codeine and acetaminophen, possibly mixed in beer, was recently addressed at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. To examine the case, a small study was performed, spiking beer with preparations containing codeine and acetaminophen and observing the concentrations, appearance, and taste of the solutions. The study revealed the majority of the preparations to be quickly soluble in beer, achieving high concentrations, but at the expense of strong taste and drastic visible changes in the beer.
