A new device enables people to snort spirits.
The Alcohol Without Liquid (AWOL) vaporizer is
being marketed to night clubs, bars and private
party organizers as a way to consume alcohol
without calories or a hangover. It was introduced
in the UK in February and in the US this summer.

How does it work?
The inventor Adapted the vaporizer from oxygen
machines used for aromatherapy and exercise
purposes. The alcohol vapor is created by pouring
a spirit into a diffuser capsule connected to an
oxygen pipe. The oxygen bubbles are then passed
through the capsule, absorbing the alcohol,
before being inhaled through a tube.

High Impairment, Low
BAC The alcohol vapor bypasses the stomach and
liver, and is absorbed through blood vessels in
the nose or lungs. This creates a hit up to 10
times more potent than by drinking the same
amount of alcohol.

DANGERS!
Professor Oliver James, from Newcastle
University, said "This will not only make you
very drunk very quickly but is also likely to
increase the risk of direct alcohol damage to the
brain." "This could do irreversible damage to
the nerves, lead to swelling and possibly lead to
dementia in the long term."

DANGERS!
Medical experts say this new device which allows
spirits to be inhaled could lead to brain damage.

DANGERS!
AWOL users could have a blood alcohol
concentration well below the legal limit despite
being far too drunk to drive. The potential of
this device to impair driving ability while still
allowing the user to pass a breathalyzer test
poses a serious safety concern.
