Patrons in the Australian bar can spend up to 40 minutes breathing in the mist and absorbing the alcohol through their lungs and eyeballs. Patrons wear protective suits over their clothes, leaving only their faces&#160;exposed.<\/p>\n<p>The owners claim that 40 minutes of exposure is equivalent to approximately one large drink (how large isn\u2019t specified). And they state that the purpose of the alcoholic cloud is to allow patrons to more fully taste the elements in the alcohol as they breathe it&#160;in.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you set aside the fact that exposing your respiratory system and your&#160;<em>eyeballs<\/em> to alcohol-laced mist sounds rather painful (and that walking through a cloud of\u00a0gin will leave you smelling like a cheap college party), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/inhaling-alcohol-vapor-puts-you-at-risk-of-overdose\/\">inhaling alcohol can greatly increase the risk of alcohol poisoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because the alcohol isn\u2019t processed by the liver before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/products\/alcohol-monitoring\/transdermal-testing\">entering the bloodstream<\/a>, a person\u2019s BAC spikes much more quickly. In addition, the body\u2019s natural protective reaction to over-consumption (i.e. puking) is thwarted, adding to the risk of serious health consequences. As for claims that inhaling\u00a0rather than\u00a0drinking alcohol results in fewer consumed calories and lessens the chance of a hangover, there\u2019s no proof to support either of those&#160;assumptions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.scramsystems.com\/7-leading-trends-in-alcohol-testing-technologies-white-paper?utm_source=sobering%20up&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=7%20trends%20white%20paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/trands-wp-download.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First there were alcohol enemas (ew).
