We are reviewing this machine in my class in school to learn group writing, agendas, minutes and so forth. I would like to see my group try and sell this machine, due to the fact, all other groups are giving up on it. I also think this will limit the underage drinkers as well. My one question is even if you're sitting around in a bar won't people still do shots while huffing on some inverted looking bong? I do live in Madison and there is still smoking in these bars-does this machine do the double dosage of smoke inhalation?

Great solution to smoker problem perhaps. Smokers could just inhale their smoke and not impose the cigarette smoke on non-smokers.

Alcohol can only be properly consumed through drinking. I'm old school like that.

Not that I'm a health nut, but I would be wary of any mechanism that allows alcohol to hit the bloodstream (and, subsequently, brain) without getting passed through the liver, an organ that has a pretty important role in filtering toxins out from the body.

it takes 20min to get a shot's worth of alcohol into your system.... this strikes me as incredibly inefficient.

Twenty teenagers ponying up $200 each would be pretty easy to do in Westchester. Hold a party, sell "shots" for five bucks apiece, and they would recoup their initial outlay pretty quickly.

The AWOL machine costs nearly $4000. It's usually only available in bars, which are 21-and-over to enter. How do kids factor into this again, Andrew Spano?

I just had a Thought: Since it Vaporizes the Alcohol, Does this make these potential Flame Throwers?? I can see someome doing this next to a Candle...

... ... Wow. IMO: That's just Stupid. Can we say Alcohol poisoning?? Looks like they took a nebulizer normally used for asthma and made it into a "Delivery" System for Booze.

I cant wait to try it. especially since its supposedly hangover-free. the older I get the more painful the hangovers are.

Just wonderful. Just what the world needs, an alternative to actually drinking alcohol. Those bottles and glasses can get so heavy Rose, you hit it on the head, with the fact that it looks like an opium pipe. I'm sure it will be popular with the kids.

It could attract smokers back into the bars, however... seeing how drinking and inhaling are so emotionally interwined... now smokers can once again experience the euphora of inhaling coupled with the effects of alcohol again!
