What's your opinion on new breathable booze?

Here's one that sounds like a safety brief forthcoming: breatheable booze.

LONDON (AP) - Britons are buzzing over a temporary entry in the capital's already saturated drinking scene: breathable booze.
The pop-up bar, Alcoholic Architecture, uses a humidifier to pump a gin and tonic vapor into an enclosed space. Patrons absorb their alcohol from the "Cloud" by breathing in the vapors and by soaking it in through the skin and eyes.
The concept isn't new. Douglass Miller, a beverage expert at the Culinary Institute of America, recalls seeing the idea in action back in 1998.

What do you think?

It sure takes the fun out of kicking back and enjoying a cold one.

What is the point? To get wasted faster?

it sounds like something that wouldn't be cheap, especially for a PVT-SPC going out on the weekend. Hopefully it will not catch on and become the latest "thing to do".

I believe that the possibility of alcohol poisoning is increased exponentially using this method. There is no reliable way to measure your intake this way. Asking for trouble

I'm concerned it may be misused especially by those with substance abuse issues and even minors.

It may be but he has momentum. We need a fresh voice. I'm just not sure he's the guy. Is this a publicity stunt? Can he afford the pay cut?

He may be peaking too soon but he does raise issues the man on the street cares about. Think about this. Can he afford the pay cut?

Yes but there is so much temptation for those with low morals
