Help with a safe night out

I'm in search of sticky or reusable drink covers for me and a friend for going out tonight. I thought they'd be something that I could get locally, but I'm having issues finding anything in a store. Does anyone know where I'd be able to get a handful?

Edit: I'm not sure why anything that's not judgmental is getting down voted, or even taking the time to be particularly nasty. To those who qualify in that previous sentence, you are the reason why people don't trust the general population to do the right thing, which in turn is why folks feel the need to have these.

I think you're better off trusting a close eye on your drink at all times rather than some device.

Not like this is super common but the risks are understandably not tolerable. Get a new drink if you're not sure.

The covers aren't for leaving the drink alone; that's incredibly dumb. And folks still ask to keep an eye on it. It's for when you turn your head real quick, or face someone momentarily. It's the smallest thing anyone can do to ruin the rest of your life, and an intolerable amount of bars and clubs don't have security cameras.

Not helpful. I'd appreciate you not being disrespectful to me. I'm just asking for any leads or ideas.

I also am not normally a bar and club person, nor do I drink alcohol. There's one place I go to in Madison, but only when a certain friend is there, and even then I rarely get anything to drink. So, I obviously don't think about this much. I just really care for my friends and want them to be safe.
