Putting alcohol in a nebulizer

ROFLAMERICA · 08-01-2006, 11:49 PM

Was wondering if this was possible. Well, of course it is possible but would you get drunk doing it? For those who do not know what a nebulizer is...

Quote:

a nebulizer is a device used to administer medication to people in forms of a liquid mist to the airways. It is commonly used in treating cystic fibrosis, asthma, and other respiratory diseases.

Because, I have a nebulizer from when I was a kid (Had bad asthma, but grew out of it). It has been sitting in my closet for a while and a few days ago I stumbled upon this www.awolmachine.com. From my understanding it is pretty much a nebulizer.

I have no idea if it would work but I have a nebulizer too, that would be some crazy shit.

Whats a nebulizer?

You realise the nebulizer will put the alcohol into your lungs? It'll probably burn like a motherfucker.

I was thinking it couldn't be much worse then the "warm" chest feeling you get after taking a shot.

Insomnolence · 08-02-2006, 02:43 PM

That seems dangerous and painful to me. I'm not a scientist though... it would definitely fuck you up big time.

You don't want alcohol in your lungs at all. Think of how it is when you accidentally breathe in a little water or something like that. It's not pleasant at all, and something like alcohol would probably be far worse. You want alcohol in your stomach, not your lungs.

That warm feeling is your throat, not your lungs.

Yeah, and the reason for the warm feeling is because the alcohol sort of eats away at the mucus lining in your throat. Eating away at the mucus lining in your lungs would probably not be a good plan. :S

TravisJ · 08-02-2006, 08:06 PM

You gotta remember, it forms into a fine mist. Its not the same as accidentally inhaling water, more like, breathing on a hot day. The alcohol would probobly quickly be absorbed by the lining in your lungs. I mean, people have inhaled worse things.

Also, normal alcohol does pass through your lungs, why do you thing a breathylizer works so well. If it was just from your breath smelling like alcohol, your BAC would drop drastically on a breathylizer after not drinking for a couple minutes, but, you actually exhale alcohol consistently.

The medicine you take with the nebulizer is the same consistancy as water. So, that is not a worry at all. Like travis said, Very fine mist. Wouldn't your lungs absorb way more alcohol into your blood stream and faster?

It'll be like lighting your lungs on fire. And you have a really good chance of damaging them.

Anticrombie0909 · 08-02-2006, 09:12 PM

You know, that's a really good idea. My brother has asthma, I might have to try that...

That's an interesting way to put it ?

edit: Also , if you did do this you would have to fully research the amount that is safe to inhale. The alcohol would get into your system a lot quicker and harder than when you drink it , so like when taken with a drip machine i'm sure you would need a lot less.

I really seriously doubt that you would have any sort of intense burning. I don't think you have ever used a nebulizer or you would know how extremely fine the mist is. It's more like smoke or steam a then mist even. Also, it would take around 3-5 min to totally empty a shot if you use nebulizer. So, it would be going in at an incredibally slow rate. But, since it would be going to lungs (Pretty much directly into blood stream) you wouldn't need to use nearly as much.

If you are so sure of yourself, then why even ask.. if you think it will work, give it a try and let us know how that goes.

There is a diffrence between being right, and thinking you are right. Hence me using the phrase "Seriously doubt" instead of "I know".

jesusfish · 08-03-2006, 07:21 AM

I think it will work, I don't see why it wouldn't, anyway. I'm not sure what amount of alcohol you would need to feel the effects, though. I remember reading a news article about European bars offering an alcohol inhaler as a method of intoxication though I think it heated rather than just spraying it.

DUDE, look at the people on the website, they're having a good time. I don't see them cringing in pain and grabbing at their throats.

Dosed · 08-04-2006, 11:15 PM

I think that would work perfectly because a nebulizer is, as the AWOL site expressed, a vaporizer filled with liquid attached to an oxygen generator. In the case of asthmatics, the liquid is normally a saline solution intended to open up the bronchial tubes. The reason alcohol would work is because it's not like the nebulizer is filling your lungs up with liquid; it's forcing a very fine vapor into them which is almost instantly absorbed into the lungs and then the bloodstream.

The AWOL site recommends using 80-proof alcohol and that you use the device no more than 2 times a day. I think the 2 times a day rule should be followed, but certainly a higher proof alcohol would eliminate the need to use it more than that. After you've gotten a pretty good buzz, you can just drink a couple beers to get you where you want to be.

I say go for it. Sounds a hell of a lot easier than drinking.

pyrochist · 08-05-2006, 01:38 AM

Pretty fucking original idea, it could turn a lot of people on to alcohol use just because of the ease and the fact that less is needed to get that "buzz".

gusblake · 09-07-2006, 05:29 PM

I've always wanted an easier way to get alcohol into the system. Not sure I would try this though, I imagine it being similar to sniffing a solvent or something.

looktoyourright · 09-16-2006, 06:48 PM

This thread makes me regret throwing my nebuliser out.

I have a mild form of Cystic Fibrosis, so maybe the "alcohol eating away at mucous" thing could help in my case....

boozer101 · 06-14-2008, 09:12 AM

I tried this using approx. 1/2 shot of Bacardi Lite Rum (80 proof). No burning or discomfort what so ever. I got a mild buzz. I used the open "tube" inhaler, rather than the "mask". I really don't know if this can cause permenant lung damage, but I DO know that drinking the stuff can destroy your stomach, pancreas, and digestive system. I wouldn't recommend doing this very often... maybe just occasionally if you feel really stressed out. PLEASE DON'T DRIVE OR USE HEAVY MACHINERY, AND DON'T MIX IT WITH OTHER MEDICATIONS. Best to start out with a very small amount and see how it affects you. Don't even try it if you have ever had a serious alcohol or drug addiction, or other health problems. Stop immediately if you notice any breathing problems. *Note - I am NOT a doctor and if you try this, do it at your own risk!!! Abstinence is always the best policy, if you can do without it. BE VERY CAREFUL!
