She says she was sitting alone at the bar after going to an Oktoberfest event.

"Halfway through my water, I see the bartender come over, take the water out of my hand with, like, nothing said, and then give me a different one," Brotsky told NBC10 Boston. "In my head, I was like, alarms are going off. I'm like, 'That was weird.'"

Then, she says, her vision started to blur.

She let right away, catching an Uber home and staying on the phone with her dad the whole way.

"I'm really lucky that I knew the signs and I got home," Brotsky said. "But that doesn't happen for everybody. And we know the realities of what can happen."

She took to TikTok with her story, urging people to be cautious.

"If it could help at least one person, then I'm happy I shared my story," she said.

Legal Sea Foods said in an Instagram post that it learned of the customer's concern via social media and immediately launched an investigation into the matter.

"We were able to contact our guest to offer support and gather additional information and are working closely with local as well as state authorities on a full investigation," the statement read, in part.

"Our guests' safety and security are always our number one priority," the statement continued. "Our teams are trained and certified to ensure safe, welcoming and respectful environments for our patrols and team members alike.
