"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

Umm... It's weird... I would prefer liquid one. I mean, look at this. Does look illegal!
New alcohol craze is a cocktail haze (Daily News)
A machine that converts alcohol into breathable mist is slated to make its U.S. debut tonight in a trendy Meatpacking District bar.
Called Alcohol Without Liquid (AWoL), the machine is billed as creating a low-calorie, hangover-free buzz. Promoters say it's big with clubbers in England, where the nonliquid libation was introduced in February.
But a spokesman for the Trust Lounge, which plans to unveil the vodka vaporizer, said complaints from elected officials could force bartenders back to pouring drinks.
Dr. Marc Siegel, Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU Medical Center, said, "I can see a lot of problems with this." "My main concern is that people will be getting drunker than they realize," he said. "When you drink too much, you feel bad. With this, there's no safeguard to stop you."
The new laughing gas
AWoL users pour a shot of their favorite spirit into a diffuser capsule, which is connected to an oxygen pipe. Oxygen bubbles are pumped through it, absorbing the alcohol and creating a smoky-looking vapor, which is then sucked through a tube and inhaled.
The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
