Police: Suspect thirsty for hairspray
Published: Nov. 14, 2007 at 6:00 PM

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Police in Okaloosa County, Fla., arrested a man on shoplifting charges after he allegedly drank two bottles of hairspray while inside a store.

An official at the Wal-Mart where the alleged theft occurred said the unidentified suspect routinely came into the store for his hairspray fix, but store security had been unable to catch him in the act until last week, the Northwest Florida Daily News reported Wednesday.

Loss Prevention Officer Christopher White said he saw the man drink two bottles of hairspray straight from the bottle Friday -- without paying for the goods.

White said the man, once confronted, admitted to drinking the hairspray said he was "a hard-core alcoholic."

When asked why he did not just alcohol with the $15 reportedly found in his pocket when he was arrested, the man said he was too tempted when inside liquor stores.

The Daily News said the man had previously been arrested on drunken driving and narcotics charges.

Dood - buy the stuff, take it home and THEN drink it. Everybody knows that...

...[hic]...ahhhh...

At least he won’t have a bad “tongue” day...

Thats just got to be a nasty aftertaste though...

[SIDENET]

Don't drink hairspray.

Hair gel and a spoon work much better.

[SIDENET]

It’s good to have a hobby.

[Red Badger]

He should have tried Lysol spray.....Much better......

the man said he was too tempted when inside liquor stores

Worried he might do something stupid if he were in a liquor store.

The neatest stomach cilia in town.

A Google search is sadly informative, it appears that Ocean Spray is the hair spray drink of choice. Here's an example: Big Lots does turnaround on hairspray abuse .

Metamucil? Man, a combo like that, and he'll need nail polish to unglue the ol' gluteal foliage the next day. LOL

Okay, I laughed.

[RichInOC]

Now, in South Beach, they don’t drink hairspray...but they DO swallow “hair gel”.

[NCjim]

Somehow I thought this was a John Edwards thread...

[Petronski]

A lot of unscented hairspray smells just like gin.
