  • People Are Trying To Get Drunk By Putting Booze Into Humidifiers Now

    Getting drunk by actually drinking is so 2013. Cue the humidifiers.

    How these little vapourisers work are by running oxygen bubbles through alcohol to create an alcoholic mist to be inhaled, and more and more people are starting to use these contraptions.

    “Once in the bloodstream, the vapour provides instant pleasure and the good news is you consume less calories and the extra oxygen can help prevent hangovers,” explains AWOL (Alcohol WithOut Liquid), one of the first companies who started selling alcohol humidifiers years ago.

    Many other companies have developed different devices to vapourise alcohol, but one VICE writer decided to modify a store-bought humidifier and give it a go. Spoiler alert: his experience wasn’t great.

    Getting drunk off a humidifier is a really boring, shitty way to get drunk. On the plus side, it’s crazy cheap to pick up one of these ultrasonic machines, and after some kludging and cutting with water, you can get nicely drunk in a ridiculously short amount of time. It appears that the absorption rates by inhalation are much higher than via the stomach, kind of like how smoking weed is way more effective than eating an edible, and lasts less time. The downside is that smoking weed cannot kill you, whereas vaping straight alcohol can absolutely kill you, and pretty quickly at that.

    Would you try consuming alcohol like this? And if you already have, how was your experience?

    Check out the full story on VICE.
