http://channels.aimtoday.com/news/story ... tm&sc=1110 Alcohol Inhaling Machine Goes on Display By MADISON J. GRAY NEW YORK (AP) - A machine that lets drinkers inhale shots of alcohol went on display Friday night, even as one local lawmaker warned the device was ``a disaster waiting to happen.'' The Alcohol Without Liquid vaporizer mixes the alcohol with pressurized oxygen. Makers say it takes about 20 minutes to breathe in one shot, giving drinkers the effect of alcohol without the drunkenness, or hangover. Democratic state Sen. Carl Kruger pledged to introduce legislation to ban its use, calling the inhaler, manufactured in England and distributed domestically by North Carolina-based Spirit Partners, a ``new form of pipe smoking'' and saying it could encourage underage drinking and drunken driving. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's office said the issue had been referred to the State Liquor Authority, and declined to comment. A message left with the agency was not immediately returned. ``It becomes a whole enforcement issue,'' Kruger said. ``The way we test alcohol levels will be skewed and so will all the direction we've taken in this state to lower blood alcohol levels.'' Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano said he also feared the machine would attract underage drinkers. The machine went on display for a sneak peak at the bar Trust, in Manhattan. But bar and lounge owners in New York may be wary, said Bob Zuckerman, executive director of the New York Nightlife Association. ``We don't know if this device is legal and in addition we don't know if it is safe,'' Zuckerman said. ``Our members and most bar owners are responsible and I'm sure they'll tread very carefully before putting a device such as this in their establishments.'' A manager who answered the phone at Trust said it's too early to predict the effect of the new machine. The manager, who would identify himself only as Marty, said the bar hasn't purchased the device, and that Trust drinkers would ``be responsible, no matter how they ingest their substances.'' 08/20/04 22:37 © Copyright The Associated Press.

this could turn out to be very dagerous, in that it the alcohol has a direct route to the blood stream. Therefore it is no broken down by the digestive system and might even be by passing the liver to a degree before hitting the brain where it can do its damage,especially since I the oxygen if I remember right vasodilates the brain blood vessels allowing more poison in (have to check this out with my ER friends). I couldn't give a damn about stupid adults, but could you see this in the hands of a teenager there could be a lot of deaths. |

Personally, I rather like the taste of Jack Daniels sloshing around my tongue.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> In moderation, of course. "Live every day like it's the last, 'cause one day you're gonna be right!" Ray Charles (6/10/04 was the day) |
