A whole new way of 'drinking'

An American company is selling what it calls a "low-calorie, low-carbohydrate way to consume alcohol", which allows a person to consume spirits and truthfully say he has not been drinking.

Alcohol Without Liquid - AWOL - is a bulky, costly machine that vaporises a mixture of liquor and oxygen and pumps it through a tube to a hand-held medical-style inhaler which the user puts in his or her mouth and breaths in a mist of scotch, vodka, or any other type of hard liquor.

From the company's website:

Thousands of years ago, when men and women took that first drink, their lungs, nasal passage and bronchial tubes had alcohol passing through them.

That's why you've probably heard: "You smell like you've been drinking again" or "Please exhale in this breathalyzer."

One of the ways our body gets rid of the alcohol we drink is through the lungs, in our breath.

AWOL simply turns that procedure around and lets the alcohol enter the body through the lungs. No absorption through the other organs thus eliminating the dreaded hangover.
