 new alcohol spray

A French American scientist has invented a new alcohol spray that instantly intoxicates the user. However, the effects are nearly as brief, wearing off in a matter of moments.
The spray, WA|HH Quantum Sensations, was created by David Edwards and was unveiled during a recent Paris exhibition.
The short-term effects are reportedly due to the 0.075 millileter dosage. In other words, it would take 1,000 sprays to equal the level of alcohol contained in one conventional drink.
The spray bottle itself was created by French product designer Philippe Starck and will be sold for about $26.
Reportedly, not only does the sensation of being drunk wear off almost immediately but the user would also supposedly be able to pass a breathalyzer test, verifying that they are no longer under the influence of alcohol.
In other words, you won't be needing to pay a visit to the Hangover Heaven bus in Las Vegas.
Edwards has also invented other sprays, which allow you to taste various foods and drinks, including coffee and chocolate, without actually consuming them. And those have sold more than 400,000 units without the benefit of alcohol.
There's still no official word on if or when the WA|HH Quantum Sensations will be available in America.

I think this is kinda cool cuz if your someone who doesn't like drinking or having to deal with miserable hours of being drunk. you can choose when you want too and if it really gets you hammers for like 5 to 10 mins then its awesome.

Makes me think of Deus Ex when you drink a 40oz and get drunk for 10 seconds.

I wonder how this works? Administering via a spray shouldn't effect the half-life of alcohol, so I'm curious how it gets you drunk for a few seconds.

He might have found a way to make the particles of it smaller so it absorbs through the gum quicker.
If that's the case, I could defiantly see it filtering through your system quickly and wearing off sooner.
Cool invention if you ask me. If one bottle for $26 bucks gives you 500+ sprays, you could get a good buzz going on that will wear off quick enough for you to leave the party unfazed without ever having to walk to the fridge.
:edit:
on another thought, I could also see chronic use of this product causing some sort of mouth cancer or gum degeneration.

I doubt this is much different than taking a small sip of hard alcohol and letting it absorb into your mouth instead of drinking it.
I have heard that people who need to drive relatively soon in Russia do this sometimes.
I have also heard of people putting vodka in an untrasonic humidifier and inhaling the mist. They say it really hurts their lungs and doesn't get them very high at all.

I've heard of people dipping their fingers into very high proof alcohol and snorting the liquid off their fingers, repeating it a few times and catching a quick buzz.
Don't know if its true as I've never seen it done nor have done it.

Its not subjective, it IS erotic activity.
There are more practical ways to slide down a pole than with your legs spread and using your pussy as a brake. Ask the fire department.

Wow, so glad that such valuable research is taking place...
