Since achieving statehood in 1848, its residents have guzzled oceans of the stuff via liquids -- beer, wine, spirits, god-knows-what-else. But now, in the age of V.C. #disruption, an innovative new method of getting shit-faced has emerged: vaping.

Milwaukee's Werd Bar claims to be the first establishment in Wisconsin to offer vape shots, Patch reports.

"Come be the first to experience the newest way to take a shot!" bar owner Drew Kent wrote last week in a Facebook post. "Alcohol Mist is a shot that is vaporized into a balloon for you to inhale! Each balloon is equivalent to 2 and a half shots! Don't worry about the calories because your not digesting the shot... you're inhaling it! First bar in Wisconsin to offer this NEWEST sensation."

Each balloon will set ya back $8; patrons will experience "an instant buzz that some describe as uniquely distinct from your everyday drinking experience," according the machine's manufacturer, Vapshot Inc. Tech website Gizmodo describes the booze-vaping process as "one hell of a fun gimmick."

Vapshot's $8,000 Alcohol MIST PRO machine doesn't technicallyvaporize alcohol (its $10,000 Vapshot PRO does). Instead, it attaches "micro-droplets" of liquid alcohol to the mist shots, which go straight from a latex balloon and into your lungs, resulting in a virtually calorie-free drinking experience. A single 750-milliliter bottle of spirits produces 1,500 shots from the MIST PRO, like the one at Werd Bar. Inhaling alcohol is "potentially even safer" than drinking it, according to Vapshot, though that boast is disputed.

In any case, huffing alcohol presents a bold/boozy new frontier for our famously wasted neighbors to the East. Godspeed.

Hasn't alcohol inhalers been a thing for a while? I thought it was a bad idea to have alcohol go directly into your blood stream.
 
A friend of mine built a alcohol vape contraption using a refill container for water coolers and a bike pump.
We tried it once for the novelty.

Yes, the alcohol does hit you faster; however, if you inhale too much, you can't puke it out or have your stomach pumped, you're just fucked.

Slow news day article, I take it.

Shit's nothing new. Can do the same damn thing with a bike pump and a bottle. Or, hell, a vodka bong. At least the latter won't taste like alcoholic tire air.

Oh good, just what we need, more ways for people to poison themselves into stupidity and permanent damage. Because people aren't stupid enough, dying fast enough, or accidentally killing enough random people already.
 
A shitty ass clover said:
it is, you get hammered way faster with much less alcohol. iirc there's alcoholic girls that used to soak their tampons in booze to get drunk quicker but they ended up getting intoxicated instead.

Intoxicated and drunk are synonyms.

So further reading indicates you still get the alcohol calories this way, so the calorie savings is pretty much nil.

This also bypasses your body's defenses against poison, so instead of puking your guts out you die. Also, drying out mucous membranes is bad for them.
