I prefer the don't go out to bars and drink at home method. Dipping your finger in your drink is weird. I think the GHB test strips or kits are better and more sanitary.
And guys can get their drinks spiked too. That nail polish won't help them.
Guys can (AND DO) also wear nail polish.
But dunking your digits into your drink sounds like a bad plan.

I remember a while back seeing something about cocktail straws that change color if your drink has been drugged. That would be an inconspicuous but more sanitary method probably. Especially if a bar just had those instead of regular cocktail straws. Then again, most of the people I know who have been drugged were at house parties. I think the idea is that if the test is in your nail polish you don't have to bring anything along with you. That said, dipping your finger in your drink seems gross to me, if I'm out drinking my hands probably aren't at their cleanest. I wouldn't put my finger in my mouth out in the world, so I wouldn't put it in my drink. The best way to prevent getting drugged is to never take drinks from someone, keep careful watch on your drink and keep it with you at all times, or just drink at home or with only small groups of people you know (still, good practice to watch your drink. You never know, some people aren't as friendly as they seem.)
But the majority of them don't. Can't see how the nail polish
would help me.

I don't ride a bike so I don't see how a bike helmet would help me?
Not all things have to work for all people.
Orrrrrr if you are worried about getting drugged and think the polish is your best bet at avoiding it, then wear the nail polish?
Anyway I would not buy this polish or stick my fingers in my drink.

I don't think it's a terrible idea, but it does nothing to stop the rape culture that says it's all the victim's responsibility to not get raped.

I think with stuff like this it really comes down to your own personal perspective, I certainly don't take a product like this existing to imply any responsibility on a victim.

I don't think it's bad to teach people to protect themselves. I mean, if there are more tools to use to protect both men and women from bad shit happening why not?
I agree PH strips would be way better the finger thing is gross >_>

I totally see your point and I don't at all think it's a bad thing to protect ourselves with whatever tools we can. Let me expound on my reasoning a little, as this is something close to my heart; Stopping rape culture as a whole, as opposed to only preventing rape from occuring circumstantially.
I can see how this product was made as a good intentioned and protective tool and not a means of putting responsibility on the victim to not get raped, but that's essentially what happens anyway. The culture of rape is so focused on victim based prevention, and not on the perpetrators of violence and the acts, laws and justice systems in place that repeatedly excuse or even condone their behavior.
Things like self-defense, drink testing, and even more negative things like; recommending modest dress and watching your alcohol as means of stopping rape from happening, only serve to potentially prevent an attack(although, according to studies, what you wear has almost nothing to do with whether you are raped), but do nothing to address the wrongness of the attack itself.
At this point in our society's evolution, many of these things, including the nail polish, are important, sometimes necessary tools of protection. The point I was making, is that these are all bandaids to a larger issue, which should be focused on making rape a completely unacceptable behavior, no matter the circumstance. Our society needs to quit glorifying it in media and normalizing it by shaming victims and giving offenders a slap on the wrist.
I also think sexual shame in general has something to do with the root cause, but I need to do some human behavior studies to speak to that.

I don't recall seeing rape being glorified in the media ? If anything, from what I've seen the media paints it unrealistically where the rapist nearly always goes to jail in shows/movies etc
Most people I've ever met think rape is unacceptable I don't view it as a mainstream ideology that it isn't a big deal/doesn't deserve punishment.
Unpopular opinion time:
I absolutely get to an extent of what you're saying. I've been raped and sexually assaulted once by a stranger another by someone I knew. (The stranger experience I've had a 'friend' blame it on what I was wearing which was a dress ) so I don't want anyone to think I'm this insensitive victim blamer who doesn't know these experiences.
I do not see how protection tools perpetuate any sort of rape culture. How long would it take to reform a rapist (if it were possible in some cases) how long would it take to get laws changed, change the media , change whatever factors create a rapist etc? 5 years, 10, never? when I was walking down the street 3 years ago and this man grabbed me you bet I wished I had something at that moment to protect myself.
At that moment the tool to protect myself doesn't feel like a bandaid on a situation.
