NEWS: Breathable Alcohol
This is a new way to consume alcohol. Now you can inhale your drinks with no carbs, lower calories and wake up without a hangover thanks to a new machine named AWOL that vaporizes it. Even though the manufacturers say it is safe, it may also be dangerous, as alcohol gets to your brain a lot faster.
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A controversy is brewing on a new way to serve liquor. It's called breathable alcohol and it's popping up in cities across Florida.
It allows drinkers to inhale shots of alcohol. Promoters say the simple vaporized mist gives you all the pleasure of drinking without the pain the morning after. Plus there's no hidden calories. AWOL distributor Mark Robertson says, "It's a different way to do an old school thing."
The AWOL machine was invented by a former aroma therapy salesman in England. It started showing up in the U.S. three months ago, but not everyone is happy about it.

On one hand, it sounds like it's a "fun" gimmick for bars and parties, but sheesh -- people imbibe enough when they have to actually taste the stuff.
