NEW YORK (AP) -- A machine that lets drinkers inhale shots of alcohol went on display Friday night, even as one local lawmaker warned the device was "a disaster waiting to happen."

The Alcohol Without Liquid vaporizer mixes the alcohol with pressurized oxygen. Makers say it takes about 20 minutes to breathe in one shot, giving drinkers the effect of alcohol without the drunkenness or hangover.

Democratic state Sen. Carl Kruger pledged to introduce legislation to ban its use, calling the inhaler, manufactured in England and distributed domestically by North Carolina-based Spirit Partners, a "new form of pipe smoking" and saying it could encourage underage drinking and drunken driving.

Damn democrats already trying to ruin the fun.

This is amongst the stupidest inventions ever done.. 20 minutes.. for a single shot of alcohol.. please. Even the bars aren't going to carry this. Who's going to want a customer taking up a $3000+ mask/tube for 20 minutes or more as opposed to downing 5+ shots in 20 minutes?

And the people getting their panties in a bunch about it are just as dumb. Democrat or not.

btw - here's the device's link:

Nice boots!

The only problem I see with it is having to suck on a pipe for 20 minutes. Women, Drasta and Fesuni may be ok with that but it may not go over well with some people.

I'd guess there might be a way to shorten that 20 minute time. If you can Mod an X-Box, you can Mod this breathing device!

they make vaporizers for pot like that too, but obviously they arnt very popular, they look good on paper though. Friend has a 300 doller one and he's used it like once...
Personally i dont wnat to have to suck on a tube for over an hour to get drunk
