Another woman has made allegation against Bill Cosby, saying that he slipped her a Quaalude and hours later she was in bed with one of his buddies.

According to Joyce Emmons, who ran comedy clubs in the '70s and '80s, she was close to Cosby in the late '70s and often hung with him in Vegas where he performed.

Emmons told TMZ.com that she never saw the comedian drink or do drugs, he often had "a drawer full of drugs," including Quaaludes in his hotel room and that women were frequently around him and would often take the drug knowingly and voluntarily.

She said that one night she got a bad migraine and Cosby offered her a whilte pill which he said "was a little strong" but could cure a headache and after she took the pill, she backed out, before waking up nude in bed in Cosby's suite with one of his friends-a guy who had unsuccessfully tried hitting on her earlier in the evening.

Emmons said that she confronted the comedian and demanded to know what drug she took, and he laughed and said it was "just a Quaalude.
