The drink arrives, not in a glass, but in a puff of alcohol-laden vapor. Imbibers sit beside each other on bar stools, breathing deeply from plastic devices that resemble giant asthma inhalers.
Even though the futuristic Alcohol Without Liquid machines have apparently not arrived in Massachusetts, some legislators and law enforcement officials are so fearful of their potency that the House will hear testimony today on a bill banning the machines, which are popular in Europe.
Promoters say the devices deliver low-calorie, low-carb, hangover-free doses of booze.

I wonder if the imbibers would also like to sniff low-calorie glue?

Sure, get drunk and your parents won't be able to smell the booze on you as you stumble in at 2 AM.

Notice how these sales pictures always imply that the ugly guy gets the hot chicks? You can see who they're targeting, and it ain't the hot chicks.

Suddenly my opinion has changed.
(I just can't figure out why.)

The hypocrisy of the war on some drugs is hilarious.
To: atomicpossum
That ugly guy probably did get the chicks.
Of course, he probably paid them.

Last line of the article:
