Smoking alcohol – what is it
There is this new trend observed
among the alcohol consumers of today in which the liquor is consumed in the
form of a smoke. For smoking alcohol, a container is filled with liquor and dry
ice or air pumped into it. The vapors coming out of the solution are thus
inhaled for an instant intoxication. Some consumers have also adopted the
ordinary hookah for smoking alcohol.
What experts say
Health experts are much concerned
about the rising popularity of this kind of liquor consumption as this has
great potential of causing irreparable damage to the person’s brain. Instead of
using the liver and the stomach to absorb alcohol, this method bypasses the
digestive system entirely and sends the liquor directly to the brain and the
lungs. This will surely result into an instant high but will omit the body’s
warning signs that alert the person that they have consumed too much of it and
should slow down. The risks associated with this kind of consumption are
alcohol overdose, liquor poisoning, alcohol brain damage, addiction to liquor, to name a few.
Misconceptions about smoking liquor
Many teens and kids are coming to
know about this method of liquor consumption and they believe that this method
is legal for kids however it is illegal to be consumed by a person less than 21
years of age, same as drinking it pure. They also think that they can cheat
their parents and even police by consuming fluid straight through smoking. Some
people adopt this method for cutting on their calorie intake however this
doesn’t work much.
False videos and information
available on the internet regarding smoking alcohol is luring kids and teens to
try this new method which is extremely dangerous and can cause damage and even
death. Parents needs to be extra cautious about what their children are doing
and make them aware of the dangerous effects of smoking alcohol.
