Dangerous Viral Trend Threatens Teens: 'smoking' Alcohol

I havent seen much of this new trend, although Ive heard of a few close friends who mixed in alcohol while they smoked hukka.

 

 

Here's the danger: When you drink alcohol normally, the liquor takes time to affect you, first going into your stomach, then slowly processed in your liver, and about 20 minutes later, into your bloodstream. But smoking alcohol is absorbed instantly into the lungs, racing to the brain. And, doctors say, it can poison you faster.

"The normal sensation when you drink and you are getting more drunk is to vomit: It's your body's way of expelling alcohol," explained Dr. Robert Glatter of Lenox Hill Hospital. " However, when you inhale alcohol, your brain has no way of expelling it."

What.  How do you even smoke alcohol in a hookah? 

 

I'm having a hard time believing this is any more of a thing than any other of those "all them teens are doing terrible things!" trends.

I was reading a article somewhere, Yahoo asia?, that warned against a trend amongst teens in Japan licking each others eyeballs, seems some of them were getting infected.

 

*People are strange*

Didn't y'all hear about the trend of soaking tampons in alcohol and then inserting them? This way the teens could get drunk but would pass a breathalyzer. Only problem is, like this new trend, it bypassed the stomach and went straight to the bloodstream and was very dangerous. These teens scare me...

Mixing alcohol in the base? That's a bit different. I've done this before and it only made my shisha taste weird. I wouldn't be surprised if it's unhealthy, but it's definitely not as dangerous as dropping dry ice in a handle of scotch and inhaling it.

Everything else aside, that seems like it would be really damaging to the skin tissue, which is quite obviously very sensitive. I imagine the damage to the skin would also leave you susceptible to all sorts of infections and fungi as well.

By the way, before any of you crazy Catholics try this, you won't pass a breathalyzer.
