Mickey Finn (drugs)

In American slang, a Mickey Finn, or simply a Mickey (often called a spiked drink), is a drink laced with an incapacitating agent, particularly chloral hydrate, given to someone without their consent with the intent to incapacitate them or "knock them out"; hence the colloquial name knockout drops. Serving someone a Mickey is most commonly referred to as "slipping someone a mickey". The "spiking" of drinks is a practice used by sexual predators and murderers at drinking establishments who lace alcoholic drinks with sedative drugs.
