If I remember right, we used Boon’s Farm Wild Mountain Wine
1. Whatever happened to "Live Free or Die"! Are we so in love with the Nanny State that an inventor can't create an innovation for getting drunk? Man's been boozing it up for tens of thousands of years.
2. Without any liquid, I wonder if this lets you get snookered with less strain on the liver. Or will the liver have to do just as much work? (Basically I view this in engineering term as looking for the maximum buzz for the minimal amount of liver work)
It may seem silly to some, but since I now have to take a lot of meds, my docs tell me I need to limit drinking to keep the liver free for processing the meds back out of my system. While I'm not a drunkard, it would be really nice to get good and snookered once or twice a year!
Sounds like it will slow drinking down, not speed it up.

Is that a great deli/specialty food shop, or what? I go to Specs more often for food items than booze.
A cosmopolitan city like Houston does not have a cheese warehouse?
Finally, I've been recognized!
You either paid attention or learned a lot about carpet cleaning.
There is no way this is great for lung tissue.
I wonder if anyone done any medical research on this.
The question is, did anybody ever drink the bong water? (I had one classmate that did on a $10 bet.... it was worth every penny to watch!)
My dad likes 'em that way, too, but I prefer 'em just dry, large, and with the olives whole (stuffed with Bleue cheese if available).
If using a tall bong and lots of ice, the ice would eventually melt and the bong water would come draining out of the carb hole.
Right after the death of Michael Kennedy in a ski accident, Howard Stern was interviewing some reporter who's beat was the Kennedy family and their shenanigans. I think he worked for a Boston paper.
This reporter was describing all the logistical considerations that went into organizing the typical Kennedy ski weekend. He was going down a list of essential elements, like this: "you've got your lift helicopters, your warm-up tent, your catered food tent, your vodka sauna tent..."
When Howard Stern heard him say "vodka sauna tent," he said "Whoa, whoa, whoa... back up, back up. What was that last one? Did you say vodka sauna tent?"
The reporter replied that that was, indeed, what he had said. Howard Stern asked him to explain.
The reporter explained that a "vodka sauna tent" was an essential feature of every Kennedy ski outing. Elements of the Kennedy advance team operation were responsible for causing to be erected, near the top of whatever mountain the Family was reserving for its exclusive use that day, a tent in which several sauna-type heaters were placed. One or more of these were set up for conventional operation, to generate copious amounts of heat so that those who occupied the tent would not feel uncomfortably cold in various stages of undress. One or two of the sauna machines, however, would not be supplied with water to pour over the hot rocks. Instead, these machines would be so configured as to cause pure vodka, or scotch, or some other distilled spirits, to be introduced onto the pile of hot rocks, and by such introduction be vaporized and thereby gassified, causing them to assume a physical state that would be readily absorbed through the nasal (and other) tissues of those Kennedies (and their friends) who chose to venture into the tent before enjoying their downhill adventure.
The reporter opined that the vodka sauna tent may have had something to do with the demise of Michael Kennedy, although it he had been observed at the time to have been participating in a rather boisterous game of ski football, in which a soda bottle is tossed back and forth between skiers as they wend their way downhill.
(steely)
A friend of mine happened to stand in line for a lift at a ski resort once in front of a Kennedy. Said Kennedy asked him how he managed to stay warm dressed so 'commonly'.
bump for later
I'm not sure which scheme is in the running, but it has to be one of the following: Either the criminals who control the booze trade are worried about this machine's effect on their profits, or else it is part of an extortion plan to get the company to pay up lest they ban the sale of the machine, or else they are scheming about some way to force the sale of the devices underground, so that they can control its distribution in the black market and ensure their profits that way.
Let's see... flammable vapors... open flame ... WHOOOOSH!!!!
Plus, I don't even want to ask what this does to your Breathalyzer score.
