Question:
What drug do these symptoms relate to?
At the weekend I was at a friends party and had around 3 or 4 beers (genuinely). After the first 2 hours I have complete memory loss up until when I woke up in my bedroom the next morning. This leads me to believe that a drink I had that night was spiked. Not only that, but the next morning I was shaking a lot more than usual, heartbeat was quite fast and strong, no appetite at all and more dehydrated than ive ever been after a night out. Every time I tried to take a drink of water I vomited after a few seconds. I had my doubts about about my drink being "spiked" until the friend I was with most of that night said he had almost the exact same experience when I phoned him the next day. Never before have I had complete memory loss after a night out, even after ive consumed a larger quantity of alcohol. The other people I was with that night said a few people, incuding me, were acting pretty strange that night. What drug do these symptoms relate to and should I be worried about any long term side effects?

Well, Wikipedia says that commonly used date rape drugs for spiking drinks are GHB, also known as gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, and benzodiazepines (such as flunitrazepam, also known as Rohypnol or "roofies". You can look up the symptoms of exposure.
But I'm confused. You said you had 3 or 4 beers. Did you open the beers, or were they from a keg that could have been tampered with? Did you leave your drink unattended (always a bad idea)? Given that everyone had the same reaction, it suggests there was some global tampering - or, it may suggest food-borne illness.
It sure suggests avoiding parties at that friend's anymore.
