For only twice the price of a drink....

Machine

Damn!!!!!

GB and I missed the debut by ONE stinkin' weekend....

And Segarra 68 is the Filterated Czeckerland Xit which is twice the price of an Absinthe.

Hmmmmmmm..........

I drinks the Absinthe, but I no smoke the Alcohol.

Cannabis Vodka meets it's match?

The website is even more foolish.

I don't know...it works for me.

At last, a way to get away from that horrible absinthe bitterness.

You really don't have to finish that bottle of Dr. O-sinthe.

TWENTY MINUTES to do a shot!

Not for smokers though . . .

Cause your lungs are definitely where you want to be killing off cells with a toxic substance.

And if you go too far- well, golly, I guess you don't have to worry about vomiting. Just, y'know, funeral planning.

Damn kids and their newfangled inhaler gadgets! I remember the good ol' days. Your grampa and I would chase the dragon with only some tinfoil a lighter and a 20 of smack. Ahh, the good ol' days.

water will change to cherry wine

I'd like to inhale her...

Looks like the back room at The Cuff

Looks like an asthmatic convention to me.

Yes,
Yes it is.

Just wrap yer lips around it and suck, fellas!




Ahh, how many times have I said that . . . Good times.

AWOL...for those times you don't mind looking stupid.

That's fooking priceless! I actually laughed out loud when I read that!!!

Looks like the dream is dying.

Alcohol inhaler's future could be on the rocks
Lawmakers want it banned, and a bar owner says it just doesn't work

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - These are not good days for the people who are trying to sell New York on a machine that lets you inhale a martini instead of drinking it.


First, they had to use fruit juice rather than alcohol at the big debut at a Manhattan nightspot. Then officials in two suburban counties announced they would try to ban it. But worst of all, the first bar to buy the machine has sent it back, disappointed by the lack of a "buzz." "They shouldn't waste their breath trying to outlaw this machine," said Steve Baskinger, owner of Bask's Bar and Grill, in West Paterson, N.J. "You can't get drunk. You don't get anything from it. It takes 20 minutes to inhale a quarter of a shot."

The alcohol without liquid (AWOL) machine vaporizes booze so customers can inhale it rather than drink it.

The makers tout it as a way to get a buzz without the calories, carbs or much of a hangover.

The machine pumps pressurized oxygen through a hose over a small amount of liquor in a canister held by the customer, who sucks up the vapor.

Baskinger said he sent back his $3,695 machine Monday, four days after it was delivered and he and his staff eagerly tried it out.

"I'm a gadget guy, but you can't get excited about this thing," he said.

During the weekend, after charging people $10 a pop, he decided it wouldn't catch on.

The bar owner spoke not long after Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano unveiled a bill that would ban AWOL and anything like it.

In a county plagued by underage drinking, "We don't need something else that gets people drunk," said Spano.

The New York State Liquor Authority hasn't decided whether the machine will be allowed to operate anywhere in the state.

The AWOL machine is being marketed as low-calorie and low-carbohydrate, and "It's not supposed to give you a hangover," Spano said. "It's a panacea. Except that it still gets you drunk if you overdo it, and it's easy to do."

Police Chief Joseph Krzeminski of the village of Port Chester noted that the AWOL Internet site refers to the machine as "the ultimate party toy."

The bill in Westchester is similar to one introduced in Suffolk County by Legislator Jon Cooper, who called the AWOL machine "dangerous to a person's health."

Kevin Morse, president of Spirit Partners, of Greensboro, N.C., which has the U.S. license to sell the machine, defended AWOL.

"These gentlemen have not seen or talked to anyone who has used AWOL," Morse said of the public officials. "It's a fun new way for adults to enjoy alcohol in a responsible manner. We don't want underage people anywhere near AWOL."

As to the bar owner, "We're sorry he's not happy. Maybe he had some unrealistic expectations. There is not as much buzz. You get less alcohol in your system and it is a milder feeling."

Damn.

I was hoping it'd increase the thojunes.

That's what an assbinth bong is for.
