Last week, a temporary bar opened in London that would offer it's patrons a unique experience.
They could get drunk simply by breathing.
This is why we learn science, kids.
Why didn't
Bill Nye ever teach us this one?
Ok, so maybe its only going to be open until April 25th, but if you ask me there should be one in ever city as this sounds like pure awesome sauce.
Anyone who wants to try it can
pay $7 per hour in between 7 and 9 pm, wear a protective suit, and let an ultrasonic humidifier system surround them in breathable Gin and Tonic.
$7? Sold!
I don't know if they can make money doing that, but I'm in!
The bar itself is called
Alcoholic Architecture and has a capacity of 40 people. It is decorated with giant straws and limes to create the appearance of being inside a drink. They play a soundtrack of liquid being poured over ice cubes.
Oh damn, while incredibly cool, this sounds more like an art project than a sustainable business opportunity. Now I'll never get to try. Enjoy, you lucky Londoners.
Would you try a breathable bar? Or do you prefer to get drunk like you normally do?

Word.
Wait, wait, wait, you have to wear a protective suit???
HA.That is so not going to fly. I find that most people that drink socially tend to use their drinks as a security blanket--and a way to get out of a horrible conversation. I don't think that I'd do this more then once...but even then I'm allergic to alcohol so I might have other, bigger issues then not having a security blanket drink.
This actually sounds kind of dangerous. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Ha, I've heard of this. I'd really prefer not to get drunk at all.
i'd try it. it seems really cool.
@StrawberriesMimi@xanga - I read that too. Apparently has up to 7x the regular effect =P
I would totally try. For 7 bucks, how could you say no?
Sounds sketch, but in hookahs I've seen places use wine or vodka instead of water and no one's gotten hurt that I've heard of. Don't quote me on that one though.
The idea of wearing a protective suit sounds sweaty and would probably ruin my makeup though.
I'd rather just stick a funnel up my ass and do it that way.
I'm kidding, obvi.
badass.
now if there's a place where you can get high just by breathing.
oh wait.
oops.
i'd try it. seems amazing
Alcohol evaporates easily, so it's easy to breathe in the alcohol fumes and get drunk...it just takes awhile longer (breathing into lungs vs direct ingestion into digestive tract). AP Chemistry FTW
Well, I suppose it has a lot less calories than just drinking beer. So that would be a plus.
My roomates and I tried something similar to this... it didn't do much.
why did the sidebar come up with ads for alcholic treatment when i clicked on this?
i don't like gin & tonic
and i also don't like getting drunk... but i do like the taste of my drinks when i drink it....
so no thanks.
hehe I know I read it in the newspaper a couple of days ago.
Well as I am in London i should go there i guess :P
sound brutal....
I wonder if you get get drunk to the point of puking?
so where can i get an ultrasonic humidifier?
@StrawberriesMimi@xanga - yeah i heard that too. an alcoholic enema will supposedly fuck you up harder than drinking ever wood.
dunno about that... ugh. Id imagine it stinging.. A LOT.
Dunno about getting vaporizingly drunk either... you can pee and eat foods that can soak up the drink and help pass thru ur system better... aromatic stuff goes straight into your blood stream... and could possibly alter a breathalyzer test up to a day and a half after the initial day of lung drunkedness.
@dramasmurf@xanga - but what would come up if theres no liquor in you?
part of me wants to try this, but the other part is kicking the ass of the part of me that wants to try this ahaha..
That does sound quite artful... although i wouldn't fly to London and spend $7 for that experience (i wouldn't may $7 even if i already lived in London, lol) If i wanted to get drunk (i wonder what it feels like but im in no hurry, and i really don't want to puke), i'd do it the old fashioned way...
