After a WISN 12 News investigation, more people have come forward to say something they drank at a Bucks party in the Deer District made them black out.The one thing the reports have in common is that the people affected had bought Moscow Mules from the Absolut Vodka tent outside Fiserv Forum.The Bucks on Sunday gave WISN 12 News this statement: "To ensure a safe experience for every guest, we have been conducting a thorough investigation. Our initial investigation has not revealed any foreign substance added to the Moscow Mule beverage batch. Additionally, out of an abundance of caution we are proactively engaging an independent accredited laboratory to ensure the accuracy of our initial investigatory findings and have sent a sample to the Milwaukee Police Department."Until the investigation is complete, we have removed all prebatched cocktails from our menus and are conducting additional trainings to reinforce safe alcohol service for all employees." "I think anybody who has ever experienced anything like that knows it can be a very scary situation and a very dangerous situation," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. "I think they're taking the appropriate steps to see exactly if there's something going on that's foul play, and I don't think anybody knows yet."The Milwaukee Health Department told WISN 12 News on Monday that it is following up with Fiserv Forum about people losing consciousness after drinking the premixed. Moscow Mules. Ali Diaz is one of the people who think their drinks were drugged. Diaz said she remembers having two drinks Wednesday night.She and her friend bought one round of premixed Moscow Mules from the Absolut Vodka tent at about 6:30 p.m., and then another round two hours later. That's when she started feeling like something was wrong. "I turned to my friend and I said, 'Hey, I'm seeing double.' And she looked at me and she said, 'Yeah, me too,'" Diaz told WISN 12 News. "A couple minutes later she said, 'Hey, I need to go to the bathroom, I really don't feel good.' She goes to the bathroom and that's the last thing I remember."Diaz got home safely after wandering the city, blacked out for a couple of hours. She was able to piece together what happened from friends and family."My husband came home and I was on the patio screaming, telling him that someone tried to grab me that I didn't know where I was, someone help me. Just completely going crazy," Diaz said. "I was sick throughout the night, I was confused. My brain was really foggy, sluggish. Almost like a hangover, but times 10."Diaz reported her experience to Bucks officials and posted about it in a Milwaukee women's Facebook group. That's when she found out there were other fans who said the same thing happened to them. "When other people were commenting and saying that, 'I had a Moscow Mule, I went to that same exact tent. We only had two drinks and we were also completely blacked out. Didn't remember a single thing that happened for the remainder of the night.' That's when I realized it was real," Diaz said. On Saturday, two men told WISN 12 News they also blacked out after drinking Moscow Mules in the Deer District on May 3. "Within three minutes after leaving the game, my memory just shuts off in a split second," Matthew Reid said."I never thought something like that would happen to me," Cody Calverley said. "It really shook me up because I've been foggy for like a whole week just trying to remember things and, like, I love the Bucks, and I love Milwaukee, and I'm never going to stop going there, but it just seems like something is wrong." Diaz said she probably will not drink anymore at Bucks events if she decides to return. She hopes her story helps warn others of what could happen."I was lucky enough to find my way home, but I am ultimately scared that someone didn't make it home, that someone wouldn't make it home," Diaz said.WISN wants to hear from other victims in this case.
