Why bother drinking alcohol when you could inhale it for an instant buzz — or so the legend goes. But is vaporized alcohol a shortcut to fun?
The Myth:
Inhaling alcohol vapor gets you drunk faster, stronger, and safer than drinking.
The Fact:
While inhaled alcohol enters the bloodstream quickly, it’s extremely dangerous. It bypasses the stomach and liver’s protective processes, making overdose and alcohol poisoning far more likely — without normal warning signs like nausea.
Scientific Takeaway:
Inhaling alcohol skips your body’s safety checks — and dramatically increases the risk of fatal alcohol poisoning.
Closing Time:
When it comes to alcohol, stick to drinking and always remember: moderation is key.
