Wow really? What the hell.

Because EVERY human culture going back has found a chemical way to get off.

Alcohol? Easy to make. OK, some groups cannot properly metabolise it, so they took up smoking things, chewing other things, drinking other things.
Mushies, Hash, hemp, opium, betel nut, coca leaves, Datura, etc.

Getting high is not just a human thing, though. Certain monkey groups will seek out fermenting fruit (the alcohol formed does buzz them).

There was a gay guy reported in the paper last year who died from alcohol poisoning after doing the rectal/vodka thing.

Examples: Pink being so hot boys are stealing pink sneakers from girl's shoe stores, cheese, jenkem, rainbow parties. Good for page hits and lazy ass reporters not doing real work. Plus, they can now do another story in a few weeks on it being a hoax.

I can't really tell if this one is true I was just in the car and HAD to share I mean...vodka tampons.
I will say for sure that Jenkems was the real deal. I distinctly remember getting an email, reading it and saying "this is bs", going and arguing with Top(my boss) and on Friday giving a safety brief to my Joes about the dangers of fermenting raw sewage for the purpose of consumption. Apparently it was real enough in 2007 to be a cause for concern.

Don't do that. It only only takes a ridiculously small amount of paracetamol to kill a human, and it's apparently a slow agonising death. Liver failure, or so I hear.

Ok, how is this true?

Paracetemol is stuff you can get easily enough and consume unsupervised.

I know you can get into real trouble chugging lots of pills, but where does the 'ridiculously small amount' come in?

It's about 10-15 pills, apparently. Which, to my mind, is a ridiculously small amount. At least, I'd expect it to be higher. A lot of places won't sell you more than one pack for this very reason, or so I'm led to believe.

"Guys will also use it and they'll insert it into their rectums."

Hence the expression, "getting rat arsed"?

I do actually recall seeing an article in the paper over here in Australia, about someone dying from a rectal ingestion of red wine. (along with the associated story from his *mistress*), so I do know that the vodka up the poop hole would technically work.

Vaginal ingestion though is a whole different can of beans.

If you are using tampons I would be worried about TSS.

But seriously? WTF!!!!

I'd like to see the serving suggestion on the label of that can

Toxic shock syndrome.

You guys know that tampons are toxic right? If you don't use them properly they can kill you.

I have heard it's something closer to 80 to kill you with any certainty otherwise you just get ill.

Paracetamol (aka Tylenol) will most likely not kill you with 10-15 pills at once, but the alternative is not that nice either.

The usual maximum dose recommented for tylenol in any 24 hour period is 4gm, with more and more literature suggesting that 3gm should be the daily max. If you are taking Extra Strenght Tylenol that is only 8 pills in a 24 hour period (6 by the newer guidelines) before you start hitting the threshold for liver damage.

Tylenol, while pretty common and available OTC, is severely toxic to your liver. I don't remember ever knowing of anybody who had a case of "dying" from 10-15 pills in the traditional sense that comes to mind when you think overdose. AKA: Take the pills, go to sleep, die...

A Tylenol overdose will just kill your liver, and over the next few days (if you are lucky) or years (if you are not lucky) you will die a slow and horrible death because of that. It is actually very surprising how dangerous tylenol really is.

I remember reading about some kids using bicycle pumps to inflate there lower intestine with air and get high off of it somehow. It hit the news when one of them died trying to use an electric pump rather than the usual foot pump.

AustonT wrote:Apparently it was real enough in 2007 to be a cause for concern.

You remember cheesing? That was a huge deal in 2004 as I recall, laws passed all over the country, but I don't think that was a real drug either. Still, dozens of news stories. I know Jemkem was apparently real, but it was never real in the US.

Not that I'm criticizing you sharing the story, vodka tampons are outlandish enough to be interesting, and there is at least some kind of precedent for it.

Ouze I outright encourage questioning any and all news sources. When all the stars and planets align sometimes they get gak right. I actually haven't heard of cheesing and am off to good now. I do know that I caught two joes trying to smoke a banana, and a large enough stash of cold pills on a room inspection that lead to some interesting questions for another. Some guys will go anything to get high.

Butt chugging does happen though... idk if high schoolers are that smart

I'm no anatomist, and have too much Y chromosome to relate, but wouldn't this hurt? Like really, really hurt?

I'm sure it'd sting if your place it up the jacksie. I'm not going to field test this, though.

Volunteers?

If I were properly equipped I'd give it a go just for you.

The article says "there have been documented cases" of this happening, it doesn't sound common so I wouldn't get excited over it.

When my wife was in college she saw someone thrown out of the exam for 'suspicious behaviour' because he kept leaning out of his seat and fiddling with the floor. It turned out he had taken drugs beforehand and was hallucinating that the words were sliding off the page of his book and onto the floor and he was trying to pick them up...

Now, see, that's just taunting me. Apologies for possibly misleading British slang, but you are most likely equipped with a jacksie. It is a standard feature of most humans for disposing of waste in a rearward direction. Some would say it's quite... fundamental!

And that's not all.

"Using a beer bong rectally is the same concept as a vodka soaked tampon," Thomas said.

Rather than the traditional beer bong you'd find at a college party, kids are sticking the tube elsewhere to get wasted.

They're calling it "butt chugging."

What is wrong with kids today?

I hope this will be the end of colon related puns.

Yes, we should really plug that particular topic.

OK that's it, I'm officially old now. Thank God!

Oh rear-ly?

I was also assuming vodka ennemas may sting a tad.
Ring of fire water

Actually I can finally understand this.

So one shot in a tampon/suppository will intoxicate?

What does one shot in a glass do, not so much.

Cost effective alcohol consumption, so long as you err on the side of underdosing.

I don't think any of my friends, and we liked to party, would have ever suggested doing such a thing.

"Hey guys, I have a great idea. Why don't we soak tampons in vodka and stick them up our asses?"

"Get out. Just get the feth out."

Maybe if your friends were poorer kids they might think otherwise, though what they say was the same.
But I think its more like masturbation (up to a point), its not something you do in public, or readily admit to doing in private.
I suspect that so long as the knowledge is proliferated a lot of kids will try it, possibly out of curiosity, in their own rooms.


Besides too many today are 'up their own arses', so the rest of us wouldn't be able to tell if they had or hadn't.

Well it's hardly something to try down the pub!

If God had intended alcohol to be consumed by rectal absorbtion he would have created Wantney's Red or Budweisser...

oh

First of all, my friend and I weren't particularly well to do. We all had jobs, and when we spent our money on alcohol we drank it.

Secondly, masturbation wasn't quite such a secretive event. It was readily admitted to with startling frequency.

Most excellent.
