Common questions
Quick answers about Con Safe Sip, the button, joining, covers, and what to do if something feels wrong.
What is Con Safe Sip?
Con Safe Sip is a community safety initiative focused on helping congoers better protect their drinks. Members carry individually packaged drink covers and offer them for free at conventions, parties, meetups, and other social events.
What does a Con Safe Sip button mean?
A button means that person participates in the initiative. It does not mean they are convention staff, medical personnel, security, or someone you should leave your drink with.
How do I get a free drink cover?
Look for someone wearing an official Con Safe Sip button and ask. Covers are always free. You can also check the Members page and reach out on Instagram.
How do I join Con Safe Sip?
DM Lauren or Jibrii on Instagram to get started. You must be vouched for by at least two existing members, provide your own drink covers (if existing members have extras, we are happy to share), give them away free, never use the initiative to take advantage of anyone, and understand the button identifies you as a participant—not official staff.
Do drink covers guarantee a drink is safe?
No. Drink covers can reduce opportunities for tampering, but no product can completely prevent drink spiking. Covers and drink-testing products should never be treated as a guarantee that a drink is safe. Getting drugged is never the victim’s fault.
Does Con Safe Sip blame people who get drugged?
Never. Getting drugged is never your fault—not for what you drank, what you wore, who you talked to, or whether you used a cover. Con Safe Sip will never blame, shame, or second-guess someone who was spiked or who thinks they might have been.
Are donations required?
No. Donations are completely optional. Optional gifts via Cash App, PayPal, or Venmo help buy more covers and buttons. Please note your payment is for Con Safe Sip. See the Donate page for details.
What should I do if I think someone was spiked?
Stop drinking immediately, stay with trusted friends, contact convention security or venue staff, seek medical help as soon as possible, and do not leave the person alone. Call emergency services if they are unconscious, struggling to breathe, having a seizure, or cannot be awakened. If you have Narcan and someone may be overdosing, use it even if you’re unsure what they took — drinks and other drugs are sometimes laced with opioids. More detail is on the If spiked and Resources sections.
