Default Spray invented will get you instantaneously drunk for just a few seconds, zero aftereffects

I heard no mention of calories...is it calorie free? That would be a big selling point.

Still, I foresee immediate excessive teenage abuse of it leading to eventual banning, and that's if it ever even gets to the store shelves.

Big beer and liquor companies are not going to like it and once the lobbying begins....

Seriously, do you know of anyone who only wants to be drunk for a few seconds? Either they don't drink, or they want to be plastered for the most part. Even moderate drinking is Passé among teens. It's mostly us old fogies who want to stop after one drink.

This can't be proper 'drunk' since it's sprayed into the mouth and then evaporates.

People probably just get a feeling they associate with drunkenness and then act on it.

Long ago when i was a student and went to Spain people bummed cigarettes of me.

Once i gave a guy a self rolled cigarette , he smoked it and 5 minutes later he was stoned out of his mind on just tobacco (and it's not even that strong as a tobacco, spanish cheap cigarettes like Bastos are way worse).

I knew a gal in AZ that was smoking and getting high. She brought her "pot" over and it was oregano. We got a big laugh over it.
