It's gotten to the point with one group of friends that a couple of us have just stopped hanging out with them. They'll pop a couple of Klonopin and then have a "wine night"...needless to say not only is it incredibly unsafe it also makes them impossible to be around.
At one point during my college career I had to hide some of my medication because there was someone who would take a couple here and there thinking I wouldn't notice. We never could nail down with certainty who it was (shared living situation with people constantly dropping by to visit myself and roommates, no locks on the bedroom doors), but it bothered me someone was that desperate for it. It happened three or four times before I hid it all.

They do tend to do it over a long period of time. Every time they want to get drunk they do it. And for some people it turns into a daytime habit, as well. This got to be a big thing at my school right after I graduated. I had a friend who got her car stolen because she left it unlocked with her purse in the passenger seat because she was intoxicated on Xanax and alcohol. Stupid. Didn't teach her a lesson, though. She kept doing it. Ended up calling her parents trying to call a guy for a booty call!
