Hola a todo. Quiero saber...como se dice, en espanol, 'to be spiked'..como...cuando alguien ponga drogas en tu bebida... qué es el verbo? y qué es el abjetivo?

I've never heard a one-word translation, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Two dictionaries suggest two ways to get the meaning across in Spanish, though: añadir licor a la bebida de alguien and echar licor a la bebida de alguien. Hope this helps. I'll let you know if I come across a one-word translation.

Echar is simply to pour
Well Collins gives the following translation,
Una bebida a la que le han echado algo, como un somnífero, droga, etc.
Thankyou everyone. This was very helpful

Contesta: El verbo es echar... por ejemplo:
Le echaron algo a mi bebida = my drink was spiked
Straight out of the dictionary, "echar licor a la bebida de alguien". Well yes but it ain't necessarily "licor", it could be hard drugs a "mickey finn", potassium cyanide or whatever.
Sadly, this gives a feeble answer like "echar algo nocivo a la bebida de alguien" when the various English meanings seem much more specific and the action consequently more reprehensible.
Any improvements will be welcome.
PS I haven't even considered being spiked while playing baseball, running in sprint races etc.
