What is this thing? Anybody ever use one? Not a sight plug, read an article on it, and wanted to find out if it is real.

AWOL - A Better Way To Enjoy Your Favorite Spirit!

AWOL, which is an acronym for Alcohol With Out Liquid™, is the brainchild of 30 year old Dominic Simler (pictured below), who discovered that by mixing spirits with pure oxygen, a cloudy alcohol vapor can be created which can be inhaled.

Billed at launch as the “ultimate party toy”, AWOL machines serve bar customers via tubes and could be seen as a modern version of the “Nargile” or “Hookah” water-pipe which originated in India and became an important part of society in Turkey and Middle Eastern countries in the 17th century, eventually becoming the height of fashion at chic Western society parties during the late 19th and early 20th century. Like the Hookah, the AWOL machine has a central body and a number of tubes running from it.

When you want a bit of whisky -- you breathe in the mouth, straight to the brain.

Finally, a solution to the two greatest problems today's drinkers have: hangovers and calories. This is the dieters dream. this is the Atkins diet alcohol and diabetes alcohol, low carbohydrates, low calorie and low sugar alcohol.

The AWOL machine includes the hand-held diffuser into which the booze of choice is poured; this, in turn, is connected to an oxygen generator the size of a school back pack. The drink is then breathed like a nasal decongestant, or breathed through the mouth -- instead of swallowed down the throat with a sweet mix like Cola or ginger ale.

The AWOL Vaporiser is a machine which allows vaporised alcohol to be inhaled through the mouth or nose.

The Alcohol without liquid Machine works by mixing spirits with pure oxygen, a cloudy alcohol vapor is created which is breathed in.

The AWOL, or Alcohol With Out Liquid Machine can be used to consume any spirit.

Alcohol use for the low carb diet...There is Banting's evidence. He took six glasses of claret a day and a glass of rum or something like that most nights when he went to bed, and still he lost weight.

Another researcher working with low-carb diets, Dr Gaston Pawan, of the Middlesex Hospital, London, mentioned the intriguing possibility that alcoholic drinks, by dilating the blood vessels in the skin and making it work harder, may step up metabolism to an extent which more than compensated for the calories taken in as alcohol. This increased metabolism, coupled with increased loss of water from the skin and in the urine, he opined, could then result in weight loss. There is experimental evidence for this. ALCOHOL AND WEIGHT LOSS

A great addition to your favorite room.

A benefit of Awol is that it’s a very mild way to enjoy the aromas and flavors of fruit-infused spirits.

I'm curious as to how effective the transportation mechanism is. A lot of that stuff seems like hype; I bet it cures cancer too!

Cynthetiq · 07-16-2004, 08:20 AM

damn.. i wonder if i could just put a shot into my nebulizer...

the_marq · 07-16-2004, 08:39 AM

$3000 for the machine!?

I think I'll stick to tequila shots.

water_boy1999 · 07-16-2004, 08:45 AM

A great addition to your favorite room.????

Yeah, blends perfectly with that leather chair, glass display case and antique table in the room.

I don't think I could bring myself to using something like this. I still like the taste of beer too much.

Making it easier and easier to OD on alcohol... Lovely.

Yes, you can. I wouldn't reccomend it, though. Burns the lungs, hurts like hell.

Journeyman · 07-16-2004, 11:46 AM

Yes, attaching Oxygen to things makes it better! Like... carbon monoxide!

Sorry, but medical research scientists really need to figure out if this is a good idea or not. I'm sure they've tested it themselves personally, but I can test the effects of smoking personally for 20 years before I find out that there's more to it than a smokers cough.
And as a side note, I've breathed alcohol fumes (accidentally), and they don't get me drunk. They get me numb lips and a headache.

Is anyone else old enough to remember the "Buzz-bomb" pipe? The one with the small nitrous oxide cylinder?

I remember reading that that some scientists were giving the thumbs down on this device, but they were ignored.

can these manufacturers get sued if ppl get sick from this product? looks like a big lawsuit waiting to happen if ppl, especially teens, start overdosing on alki

We called it "whip its", don't know why though. That was what I was thinking, but it seems like the effects last a lot longer, same premise though.

Denis Leary's No Cure For Cancer taught me about "whip it's," wherein people would take a can of whip cream and breath the gas from it. Best as I can figure, all it does it starve your brain for oxygen temporarily, and you can do that by choking yourself.

ickma · 07-18-2004, 08:39 PM

Hmm I am sensing a math type equation here explaining why this is a bad idea.

This seems to remind a lot of people about the "whip it" idea.
It has been explained that whip it is similar to choking yourself.
Where choking yourself = death.
Therefore we can infer that this AWOL machine = death.

I knew math class would pay off in the end.
