If you can believe what you read on the Internet, parents need to start monitoring their teenagers to ensure they're not partaking of yet another kooky adolescent craze: soaking tampons in vodka and inserting them vaginally or rectally to get a buzz without winding up with alcohol on their breath. Does anyone think this is plausible?

Seems as though it is possibly to get a buzz on, at least rectally, since suppositories are given to adminster medication when one can’t take it orally. The one I know about for certain is aimed at easing nausea. But if it gets into the bloodstream, it seems that alcohol would show up on one’s breath. After all you can smell alcohol on a person’s breath even if they have brushed their teeth and used a non-alcoholic mouthwash, eve the morning after. Alcohol gets to the brain through the bloodstream, so I think it would pretty useless to try to disguise alcohol use that way. I don’t know about vaginally, but I suspect you could not get high that way. I just don’t know. The vaginal walls are mucousy membranes, so maybe you cou’d, much as you can take some medications and get them into you bloodstream by putting a pill under your tongue. I do that with melatonin.
Well, researchers are studying tampon-based drug delivery for HIV medications, so maybe this would work. It would definitely work rectally administered, but it’d be tough to insert a pre-soaked tampon there. I sincerely doubt it’s “teen craze,” though. It’s vodka — you can put it in almost anything to disguise the smell while *drinking* it.
I work as a nurse at a men’s recovery (substance abuse) center. The Senior Counselor here states that addicts have been telling him about using this method for years. He states that addicts use a similar method with needles by taking off the end and injecting the drugs rectally for their highs.
OK,
But I want to be the guy holding the match at first fart!
Teenagers are really more stupid than I thought,or more than when I was one. This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard of. My niece had better not do this. Where do they come up with these things?
it is possible to get really wasted ‘that way’. my friends did it, although they used a syringe without a needle on it to squirt the vodka you know where. all of them got so drunk they blacked out.
thats is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. why would you want to drink that bad? and you should really watch your children..and who they hangout with..be serious.what the hell are kids thinking nowadays?
