Drinkers tired of massive hangovers and equally sized beer guts have reason to rejoice — the as-yet-unseen in America "Alcohol Without Liquid Machine" arrives in New York City today. But while New Yorkers who like to imbibe may tonight flock to Trust Lounge in the Meatpacking District to get an early peek at the device — which turns alcohol from liquid into mist — some are already opposed to the device and want to see it banned.
Billed as the "ultimate party toy," the alcohol vaporizer debuted at Il Bordello in Bristol, England, where crowds went gaga over the revolutionary device, the inventors boast on their Web Site.
The machine turns whiskey or vodka into a mist form that revelers can ingest while wearing a specialized mask to achieve a "euphoric high," according to the vaporizer's inventors.
Not only does the machine reduce the effects of a hangover and lower booze's calorie count, but it's also safer than simply slamming back spirits, according to awolmachine.com. "The AWOL Vaporizer has a built-in safety device because it takes about 20 minutes to inhale one vaporizer shot of alcohol. It is not something people are going to get very drunk on," the Web site reads.

If I want to take twenty minutes to ingest a shot, I'll pour one and sip it.
Hmmm..... I wonder if they'd notice if I replaced my humidifier with one of these things... :)
It is absurd to imagine that one can take in and metabolize alcohol without being affected by its caloric content.
This is fraudulent.
Sitting in the quiet mood lit recesses of the small cafe that had become their favorite rendezvous John gazed at Mary across the table from him. In her inemitable coyness she let her alcohol mask slip from her smiling full red lips to whisper those words John so longed to hear. The entire setting was ruined though when the alcohol laced mist of oxygen came in contact with the candles that lit their table and John recieved the full blast of her firey exhalation. The para medics arrived just as the next table went up due to a similar incident with cherries jubilee.
Oh yeah, this is gonna be a real boon to socialising.
Can this be installed in a car?
Where the heck would I put the olive for my martini???
"tired of massive hangovers and equally sized beer guts"
OR emphysema, from pickling their lungs!
Choices, too many choices!
"Where the heck would I put the olive for my martini???"
Um...well...
