Alcohol is also strong, and cocktails (such as gin mixed with tonic or cola) are capable of extinguishing any type of bitterness that these substances have. Some twenty nightlife establishments are launching an initiative consisting of giving glass lids to their clients to prevent someone from introducing chemical substances into the drinks with the intention of committing a sexual assault or rape against them. These substances are usually used in their vast majority against women.

In the state of the art, the Spanish utility model U201800511 is known, which reveals a protective cover for beverage glasses consisting of a circular body sized to fit the mouth of a glass intended for the consumption of beverages, in one or more sizes than the most current standards, to avoid spills, to serve as food protection, avoiding the eventual accidental and/or malicious introduction of unwanted substances inside the glass of a user who consumes a drink by third parties, where said body, It is made entirely of waterproof material, more specifically, the protection cap is made of disposable material, biodegradable and very economical, preferably waterproof cardboard, for example kraft-type cardboard, it also has at least one smooth surface (a) capable of incorporating said printed elements, it has perimeter means of coupling and simple adjustment to the mouth of the glass , and has means of easy opening and closing with which the lid is opened with a single finger of the hand with which the glass is held to drink the contents and it is closed again without having to remove it from the glass or fear that it will be used. the other hand for it.

The Spanish utility model U202032250 refers to a flexible and hygienic single-use circular lid for beverage containers that covers the upper opening of the glass, cup, glass or similar, isolating the liquid it contains from the outside while it is not being consumed by the user. Its coupling to the glass, cup or similar is made by means of two opposite tabs made on the outside of said lid, and especially indicated for those containers whose upper diameter is less than that described by the body of the container (example: wine glass), although It can be used interchangeably in any type of container with a circular top opening.
