				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Browsing the news I saw <a href="http://www.ufunk.net/en/gadgets/wahh-quantum-sensations/" target="_blank">this article</a> about a mouth-spray alcohol that gets you &#8220;temporarily drunk&#8221;.</p>
<p>A little YouTubing showed videos like this:</p>
<p><object width="550" height="403" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v8EX9-YqNSk?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="550" height="403" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v8EX9-YqNSk?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>I was instantly reminded of this thing I read about in Europe a while ago called <a title="AWOL" href="https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=AWOL+alcohol" target="_blank">AWOL</a> (<strong>A</strong>lcohol <strong>W</strong>ithout <strong>L</strong>iquid)&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8230;.which is essentially an oxygen vaporizer machine with hard alcohol infused into it&#8230;..and you inhale the liquor instead of drink.  This means you only have to only get a SMALL amount of alcohol to have an effect, but it only gets you &#8220;buzzed&#8221; for a very short amount of time.  It looked like:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="AWOL" src="http://www.nevblog.com/images/awol.png" alt="" width="305" height="314" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>SO I WANTED TO SEE IF SPRAYING ALCOHOL IN YOUR MOUTH WILL GET YOU BUZZED!<br />
</strong>(since I really have nothing else better to do all day) :-)</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>STEP 1.)</strong></span> I bought several different types of atomizers from Sephora (those little perfume pump thingies):<br />
<img class="alignnone" title="Spray Alcohol Experiment" src="http://www.nevblog.com/images/spray-alcohol-experiment1.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="346" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><br />
STEP 2.)</strong></span> Bought a bottle of Titos plain vodka (40% alcohol) and a bottle of Everclear (90% alcohol).<br />
<img title="Spray Alcohol Experiment" src="http://www.nevblog.com/images/spray-alcohol-experiment2.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="393" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><br />
STEP 3.)</strong></span> I filled the purple spray thingy with Titos, and the Silver one with Everclear<br />
<img title="Spray Alcohol Experiment" src="http://www.nevblog.com/images/spray-alcohol-experiment3.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="358" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><br />
STEP 4.)</strong></span> TIME TO SEE IF I GET DRUNK!  I wore safety goggles (in case I mis-sprayed pure alcohol into my eyes):<br />
<img title="Spray Alcohol Experiment" src="http://www.nevblog.com/images/spray-alcohol-experiment4.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="303" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><br />
STEP 5.)</strong></span> Waiting to see if I got drunk!<br />
The first few sprays actually didn&#8217;t taste THAT bad like expected (although not particularly good either).</p>
<p>I sprayed a few Everclear, and a few vodka&#8230;.and I&#8217;ve gotta say&#8230;.(unless it&#8217;s placebo effect speaking), <strong>I FELT SOOORRRTA BUZZED! </strong>(it was a similar feeling to the very first sips of alcohol you take in a night&#8230;..you&#8217;re not &#8220;buzzed&#8221; yet, but you know something&#8217;s swirling around in your brain).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m 29 and have been drinking since about the age of 20 years old.   So I can tell by my first drink of alcohol that &#8220;something is happening&#8221; in my head before I get full-on buzzed or drunk.</p>
<p>Two of us tried this, and we both are almost<strong> 100% convinced we felt a very light buzz.</strong><br />
The buzz however wears of literally in about 2 minutes or less.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s MANY other ways to achieve this (such as just swishing around alcohol in your mouth), but this &#8220;spray&#8221; method seems to be the most convenient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>CONCLUSION.)</strong></span> I&#8217;m almost dumbfounded to say this&#8230;..but <strong>IT WORKED!</strong><br />
&#8230;however, only a little. Drinking still seems FAR superior.</p>
<p>However there was only a few milliliters of alcohol in each spray bottle, so this alcohol delivery method is surprisingly efficient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>VIDEO OF THE EXPERIMENT:</strong></span><br />
<object width="550" height="309" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H40820yb2xQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="550" height="309" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H40820yb2xQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p><strong><br />
SO IS THIS A VIABLE PRODUCT?  WHAT OTHER USES?</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a couple of quick ideas an &#8220;alcohol spray&#8221; could be marketed as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Anti-anxiety spray for approaching and picking up girls (placebo effect will also be strong on this one).</li>
<li>Anti-anxiety spray for shy people (placebo effect will also be strong on this one).</li>
<li>Creativity Spray &#8211; <em>&#8220;Spray twice, and start brainstorming!&#8221;</em></li>
<li>Calm-Down Spray &#8211; <em>&#8220;Two sprays will calm ya down!&#8221;</em></li>
</ul>
<div>wow&#8230;.those are all kinda dumb ideas.  Maybe I&#8217;m still drunk ;-)<br />
Happy spraying!<br />
