Now Bar-Hoppers Can Inhale Liquor Instead Of Drinking It
Machine Combines Alcohol, Oxygen

POSTED: 2:31 pm EDT August 19, 2004

NEW YORK -- A new machine that allows bar-hoppers to inhale liquor instead of drinking it is set to make its debut in New York City Friday night.

There's already an effort to get it banned.

The machine combines alcohol and oxygen to create an inhalable alcoholic mist.

It's called Alcohol Without Liquid -- or AWOL -- and it's already available in Europe and Asia. Its American distributor, Spirit Partners, is touting it as a low-carb, low-calorie and hangover-free alternative to drinking.

The company says AWOL sends alcohol into the bloodstream faster than drinking, resulting in a quick buzz. But it also says the level of alcohol in the body after AWOL use is lower than for traditional drinkers.

Andrew Spano, the county executive in Westchester County, N.Y., doesn't like it. He worries it will attract underage drinkers, and is seeking a local or statewide ban.

I would think you would need a liquor license for one of these, i.e. a bar environment; can't imagine the average guy on the street buying one of them.

Problem is...most people drink because they like liquor. Very rarely do I see someone drink something they hate and gag everytime they drink it. Like cheap rum...I would rather not drink and end up being sober than drink nasty ole' (ABC brand) cheap rum. If you want a buzz just take 4 or 5 shots and voila!...It's quite an idea..I have heard of it before...but kinda the pussy way if ya ask me. Like girls and their wine coolers :P

I wasn't trying to be rude. Just pointing out how unattractive that would be at the bars.
