Seems like an easy way to the emergency room for alcohol poisoning to me:
The “no calories” claim can’t be true. Once the alcohol is in your bloodstream it has to be metabolized.
Sounds like an unpleasant way to get a buzz anyway.

The metabolism rate in your lungs has to be a lot faster than drinking it, yes? Seems to me you could pass out or worse pretty quickly.
I’m going to add alcohol vaping right next to butt chugging on my list of ways never to consume booze.
No.
Once it gets into your blood stream, it will be zero order disposed of by the liver. (i.e. fixed amount per hour based on the patients weight) There is no metabolism of alcohol in the lungs. You do exhale some based on your blood level but that is not metabolism.
This seems very dangerous.
Higher absorption rate.(Bioavailability in lingo) Faster absorption and onset than oral ingestion. The alcohol will be carried away from the lungs very quickly and any exhaled alcohol will be proportional to that which circulates back through the lungs. i.e. It wouldn’t be that much different than swallowing it given the exact same blood levels.
I would be interested in the breathanalyzer results after a good session of this. My bet is that it would be greater than 0.2 (200mg%)
To me this should be illegal but I guess we allow butt chugging and shotgun funneling so …
Don, I guess I meant “absorption rate” which IS higher, yes?
Absorption rate is faster Roberto.
No first pass liver metabolism either… I’ll pass, if you have a hard time getting drunk you’re doing it wrong…

Much more rapid uptake, so people get a buzz more quickly.
People can actually stop ‘drinking’ sooner.
Since there is almost no delay from imbibing to feeling the effect, some people feel it is easier to titrate one’s level of desired ‘euphoria’ vs. drinking the alcohol, as well. Fewer gross miscalculations?
Also, with such a greatly diminished time of onset for the effects, one can theoretically consume less alcohol and avoid the dreaded “back log” of alcohol that can accumulate in one’s GI tract that so frequently produces an over-shooting of one’s projected desired dose.
I wonder how long until people are doing this with pot/alcohol tinctures?
Shameless
I have never heard of butt chugging as a voluntary activity until this thread.
Shameless is right - does it require an assist?
Reminds me of Willie Brown’s inauguration party back in the day.
