Liquor Inhaler Debuts Alcohol-Free in NYC

Sat Aug 21, 7:03 AM ET Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo!

By MADISON J. GRAY, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK - Fruit-infused water and Gatorade — not vodka and whiskey — were the inhalants offered at the Manhattan debut of a controversial new device that lets drinkers take vaporized shots of alcohol, and opponents want to make sure the machines stay liquor-free.


The machine, the Alcohol Without Liquid vaporizer, or AWOL, lets its users inhale liquor by mixing it with pressurized oxygen. The machine's makers say it takes about 20 minutes to inhale one vaporized shot, leaving users euphoric, but not drunk, without the aftereffects of alcohol.


"I would do this because I'm a non-drinker, but I'm looking for a buzz," said Peter Rosegarten, 37, who sat on a couch at the Manhattan nightspot Trust and breathed in the AWOL sans-liquor on Friday night. "I feel like the oxygen gives you a lightheaded feeling."


Distributor Kevin Morse poured nonalcoholic fruit drinks into the inhalers on display at Friday's debut because he said state law doesn't allow liquor to be stored in anything but its original container.


"I do think the public is ready for this," said Morse, president of Greensboro, N.C.-based Spirit Partners, adding that the machines were "just a new way to try" alcohol.


Even if the public is ready, businesses may not be. Bar and lounge owners in New York don't know if they will display the machine yet because of legal issues, said Bob Zuckerman, executive director of the New York Nightlife Association.


"We don't know if this device is legal and in addition we don't know if it is safe," Zuckerman said. "Our members and most bar owners are responsible and I'm sure they'll tread very carefully before putting a device such as this in their establishments."


Existing state law is not the only obstacle the machine faces. Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano has said he wants the AWOL machine prohibited for fear it will attract underage drinkers, and State Sen. Carl Kruger has pledged to introduce legislation to ban it.


Kruger sent a letter to Attorney General Eliot Spitzer saying the machine, which is manufactured in England, "is a disaster waiting to happen." Kruger called it a "new form of pipe smoking."


"It becomes a whole enforcement issue," he said. "The way we test alcohol levels will be skewed and so will all the direction we've taken in this state to lower blood alcohol levels."


Morse said using the inhaler would not skew blood alcohol tests and asserted that his company has no plans to sell the inhaler for home use. "We don't want anything to do with underage people," he said. "It's adults we are marketing to."


Spitzer's office declined comment, saying the issue has been referred to the New York State Liquor Authority. A message left for the Liquor Authority was not immediately returned.

Bloozehound Whats better than Newcastle Ale ?


Free Newcastle Ale!

a buddy left a near full 12'er in the fridge last weekend. Never been my fav brew, but not too bad either.

Heading out to the Hard Rock Cafe to see a friends band open for some other band. What ? Keef's cowboys boots are on display over the bar, it can't be that bad.


August 21st, 2004 10:19 PM
sirmoonie Just because its captioned as a drinking thread, doesn't mean that other modes of substance abuse aren't welcome.

The "Ronnie Doctrine" - man can begin abusing one addictive agent to end an addiction and abuse of another. Pure goddam fucking genius.

Ten Thousand Motels Promotion is whiter shade of pale


Commentary by Michael S. Miller

As is the case with a lot of bad ideas, the intentions behind a recent beer promotion were good, if you can call promoting mass suicide through alcohol "good."

Miller Brewing wanted to celebrate the ''50th Anniversary of Rock 'n' Roll'' with eight commemorative beer cans that feature Rolling Stone magazine cover shots.

There have been thousands of artists who produced Rock music, and there have been more than 950 issues of Rolling Stone. From this spectrum of cultural revolution, Miller Brewing chose these artists to represent Rock: Elvis Presley, Blondie, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Willie Nelson and the guitars of Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh.

Huh.

Although you could argue for days whether the recording of Elvis' "That's Alright, Mama," is the pinpoint anniversary of Rock's birth (several contenders predate that record by five or more years), you'd never argue against Elvis himself deserving enshrinement in any history of the music. I'll even grant you a spot for Eric Clapton, although it would be at the expense of several more deserving artists.

But Willie Nelson? Blondie? Bon Jovi? Def Leppard? Alice Cooper?

Willie Nelson?

Miller Brewing, your demographics are showing.

By now, you should notice a glaring omission in the beer can line-up. Even though black musicians are as responsible for creating Rock music as any white musicians, no black artists were chosen for the "honor" of being on one of the cans.

I doubt Miller Brewing and Rolling Stone set out to intentionally court charges of racism; Gary Armstrong, chief marketing officer for Rolling Stone publisher Wenner Media, said race wasn't a consideration when choosing the artists.

''We just went with the people that we thought were appropriate,'' he said. ''We went through (the covers) and said these people we don't think are appropriate, or wouldn't appeal to Miller drinkers.''

So, they discarded people who "wouldn't appeal to Miller drinkers," like, you know, black people? Yikes.

Miller spokesman Scott Bussen said the company started with a broad wish list, but its choices were limited to Rolling Stone covers.

''I'm sure that our objective was to get as diverse a representation of musical acts as well as diversity,'' he said.

I'm not sure a company that excludes black people from its advertising should use the word "diversity" twice in the same sentence, unless the words "none, ever" are attached.

Who is so ignorant of Rock history as to think a sliding scale from Bon Jovi to Joe Walsh represents diversity?

Maybe Miller Brewing will branch out into beer cans celebrating the history of baseball that only include Al Campanis and maybe John Rocker in his various team uniforms. Or, they could celebrate the history of movies with cans that feature scenes from "Birth of a Nation," "Gone With the Wind" and Al Jolson in blackface.

My initial impulse was to blast the artists involved for letting their images be used in an alcohol promotion so misguided and insulting to the legacy of Rock music. The artists weren't paid to appear on the cans, although some received "perks" such as free beer or magazine subscriptions. That "compensation" is so pathetic as to defang any attack on their sad rewards for promoting one of the big death wish products.

Perhaps Miller Brewing can make things right with a special "Alcoholics and Addicts of Rock" series featuring images of Keith Richards, Keith Moon, Bon Scott, Ozzy Osbourne and Ike Turner.

Well, they wouldn't use Ike Turner. He wouldn't appeal to Miller drinkers.

Sir Stonesalot Captain Morgan's is gross....I mean, my wife likes Captain Morgan's. Blech!

I got some evil stuff that I found in Grenada. 157 proof. Dark rum spiced with nutmeg. Iron Jack, it's called. Now that stuff will make your liver quiver. You can either drink it, remove varnish with it, or use it to cauterize wounds. I brought a big bottle home with me a few years ago...I still have about half the bottle. The shit will turn your lights out in a hurry. It tastes terrible, but who the hell drinks for the taste??? The buzz is monumental...heavy on the mental part.

No, I think she likes it because it does not taste like booze. Of course, that is exactly why I don't like it. If I'm going to drink booze, I want it to taste like booze.

She drinks fruit flavored wine to annoy me. Why the fuck anyone would want to drink strawberry wine is beyond me.

Ten Thousand Motels 29MILLION DAYS LOST TO DRINK Aug 23 2004
Mirror

HUNGOVER staff lose business £2.8billion a year - and the cost will rise with 24-hour drinking, a poll said yesterday.

Each year, 29 million days are swallowed by sickies and slow work caused by a thick head.

Fifty-one per cent of workers said all-day drinking would be bad for businesses.

Shop staff said their line of work was most at risk when drinking law relaxes next year.

More women - 35 per cent - than men - 26 per cent - said a work hangover is acceptable.

Alcohol Concern said: "Staff who go out drinking excessively are more likely to under-perform or call in sick next day."

Internet recruitment firm reed.co.uk polled 8,450 workers.
