    A new way to "drink" alcohol?

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...lcohol_machine

    The machine, the Alcohol Without Liquid vaporizer, or AWOL, lets its users inhale liquor by mixing it with pressurized oxygen. The machine's makers say it takes about 20 minutes to inhale one vaporized shot, leaving users euphoric, but not drunk, without the aftereffects of alcohol.

    So I wonder how much trouble it will be to create a party or a rave with the air saturated with alcoholic smog?

    Think of the implications... Secondhand Booze! Kids in the facility will be underage breathing... you can't cut a drunk off without throwing them out... what about people who entered without knowing what was going on?

    And how long before people start combining this with inhalant drugs?

    Buy your own here - AWOL - a mere $3k ..

    Just a note though, if you had a couple of shots & then breathed oxygen for 20 minutes, you'd be high as a kite for some considerable time after anyway
