Talk:Alcohol without liquid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't this just a nebulizer hooked up to an oxygen concentrator?

Are their any studies done on vaporized alcohol? It takes 20 mins to inhale a single shot from this machine, how could it get you "more drunk" then simply drinking the shot? Is less alcohol lost in this process? Is there any proof this machine works at all?

The science of getting wasted quickly seems sound -- there are plenty of blood vessels in the lungs to facilitate quick EtOH pickup, and since you can't throw up the alcohol, you're going to absorb it longer than your stomach would normally allow. But I fail to see how it removes the hangover possibility. You're still putting ethanol in the blood, which the liver converts to acetaldehyde, and you still have a hangover. Because you aren't irritating the linings of your gut, you might not have as much nausea, but you're still going to be hit with the rest of the hangover.

I've never had a hangover, period. This may be because I drink about as much water as I do alcohol when I go out drinking. It is my understanding that a hangover can be prevented simply by staying hydrated and drinking alcohol in moderation. -- Twavith, Unregistered 05:39, 2 March 2008 (EST)

Also, am I the only one who thinks that oxygenated ethanol just sounds like a fire hazard waiting to happen? --Mdwyer 03:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Arnt nebulisers pretty wastefull, the amount of alcohol lost on the way to your lungs would be pretty high. 87.194.30.174 (talk) 01:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is this really illegal?

It says its been banned in 21 states on this article. Source? On their website it says it's legal (for ages 21+): http://www.awolmachine.com/page-4.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.2.234.66 (talk) 20:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

"Q. Is It Legal? The two components of AWOL (extra oxygen and alcohol) are legal, so yes it is. The single user unit uses only compressed air and alcohol."
By this logic, home distillation would be legal. <a href="http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=173733&src=110">This article</a> talks about Kentucky, Tennessee and California specifically, but says that at least 21 states have outlawed AWOL. -Athaler (talk) 03:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
