Many women are nervous about the dating scene and it's not just about getting to know a new person. With date rape drugs, it could be dangerous mixing with the opposite sex.

Now there is a new way to protect yourself when you're out at a party, a bar or on a date with someone you're just getting to know.

You will be able to tell in seconds if your drink has been spiked with a date rape drug.

Say you are out with your friends and all of sudden you start feeling woozy. You know something's not right, but before you can do anything about it, you're out cold.

"I came to early in the morning. I looked down next to me and saw there was a condom wrapper there. There was somebody draped across me and my pants were off," said Macie Pumphrey.

With date rape drugs being used on young women all the time, many say they're afraid to turn their back on their drink.

"You never know when you're going out and you meet somebody and start talking to somebody what they're going to be doing," said Alison McGowan.

"You hear stories all the time. It's happened actually to a good friend of mine, so I'm definitely aware of it," said Tanya Orliw.

Now there is something you can do. A coaster may be all you need to protect yourself. Believe it or not, it is a simple, easy test for drugs that only takes seconds.

You just put one drop on a special spot on the coaster and you will know whether to throw your drink away or not. If the spot doesn't change color, you are fine. But if the spot changes color, your drink has been spiked.

The inventors of the drink-safe coaster said that it detects GHB, a colorless-odorless liquid that can put you in a semi-conscious state. It also detects two other date rape drugs -- ketamine and rohypnol, also called roofies.

But will people really use these coasters? We took them to a bar to find out.

"If you can do it really quick while you're sitting here it seems like it would really make going out much more safe for people," said Cathryna Brooke.

The coaster also got high marks from other women we talked to.

Anita Kelley also thinks the coaster is a good idea. It is her job to worry about the safety of thousands of students at Muhlenberg College. She ordered some coasters for her school as soon as she learned about them.

"Prevention is key. Whatever a college or university can do to keep their students safe, they need to do it," Kelley said.

Each coaster costs 40 cents when bought in bulk and has two test areas per coaster.

Critics worry that the coasters could give you a false sense of security and stress that it is important to always be aware.
