Having worked for years in a large hospital's Emergency Room I can say that that's very unlikely in a case like this.

Is anyone familiar with the behavior of people under the influence of meth?
The Kroger security guard said the woman looked quite intoxicated, but didn't smell any alcohol at all on her.
Here we have the woman photographed by the students apparently falling down drunk, passed out in the back yard, having to be helped into the car, and then at the Kroger parking lot practically immobile in the car and refusing to move.
Then, a couple of hours later in the hospital she is up and hysterical and screaming.
Could that be a sign of meth use? Or combining meth with alcohol? Her activity level seems to be like a sine wave.

/excerpt:
A source has provided ESPN with a detailed account of the exotic dancer's arrival at the hospital the night of the alleged sexual assault at a party thrown by members of the Duke men's lacrosse team.
The source, who asked to remain anonymous, was present at the hospital on the night of the alleged incident and says the woman was "beat up" but would not immediately divulge to anyone the identity of her alleged assailants.
"She was hysterical," the source said. "She was crying, she was pretty banged up. She said she was sexually assaulted, but she didn't say by whom."
The source says the woman entered the hospital well after midnight March 13 wearing a red nightgown and nothing on her feet. She was walking on her own, but there were bruises on her face, neck, and arms.
A triage nurse attended to her, but the woman did not want him to touch her because he was a man. She was then examined by a sexual assault nurse.
There were injuries to the woman's pelvic area, the source said.
According to the source, the woman did not immediately inform either the police or the hospital staff who inflicted the injuries to her.
"She never said one thing about Duke, any athlete or anything," the source said. "She just kept hollering and screaming. She never said who did it."
The woman was discharged after approximately five hours.

She wouldn't be tested if she was yelling and hollering?
Even if, a short time earlier, she was reported to semi-comatose and under the influence of something?
