Speed drunk: state bans 'ultimate party toy'

"Speed drunk: state bans 'ultimate party toy'
July 14, 2004 - 11:05AM

A product that promises to get people drunk 10 times faster without the punishment of a hangover or calories has been banned by the NSW government.

Promoted as the "ultimate party toy", alcoholic vapour has been a huge hit in London.

But NSW Gaming Minister Grant McBride said AWOL - alcohol without liquid - is "gimmicky" and sends an irresponsible message about alcohol consumption.

AWOL is created in a machine that mixes a shot of alcoholic spirit with oxygen, this creates a cloudy vapour and is inhaled through the mouth or nose."
