Drinking' Neat Vodka Through Your EYE for a Quick Buzz?

Even as drunken student antics go, it was, by any stretch of the imagination, a disturbing scene. Surrounded by cheering rugby players, applauded by fellow members of the university netball team, 19-year-old Melissa Fontaine tipped back her head and giggled as fellow drinkers in the Students' Union bar pulled apart her eyelids and allowed them to pour a shot of vodka into her left eye.

'Vodka eyeballing', as it is known in student circles, is the latest drinking craze to sweep through Britain's universities.

Those who do it claim that it induces feelings of drunkenness at break-neck speeds, providing an instant high.

Might give new meaning to the phrase: “Drink yourself blind.”

[luvbach1]

Likely result will be “pickled eye.”

Things were sure different when I was growing up. I was always told too much of something else would make you go blind. LOL

[goseminoles]

That’s almost as dangerous as “drinking” vodka through your ass. We have livers for a reason.

I was thinking, I’d rather go blind the old fashioned way.

“Those who do it claim that it induces feelings of drunkenness at break-neck speeds, providing an instant high.”

And drinking vodka on the rocks takes too long?

Get me Mr. Darwin......

[Lockbox]

so this is the origin of the phase ‘Bottoms Up!’

Well, how else could you get blind drunk?

[dfwgator]

Then they had us up against the wall
Hey it’s only blood grain alcohol
And there ain’t no cause for alarm
We ain’t out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for drivin’ while blind

[Kakaze]

Upside down margaritas, I’ve done but pouring alcohol in my eye.........good lord.

[paddles]

shaken or stirred?

[dfwgator]

"Mr Davis, do you take cream and sugar in your eye?"

[Caipirabob]

Her picture is in the article. I would have to be blind in at least one eye to hit that, and drunker than a fart.

Oh no, that's a girl?!? I had to check twice but I thought it was a random photo.

Many years ago straight vodka was my drink of choice and I drank like a fish in those days. But I can say that even then the idea of putting it into my eye never occurred to me.
