Heard this on the radio and super lolled.

Teens using vodka tampons to get drunk
Submitted by Breann Bierman, Elizabeth Erwin

It's no secret teenagers sometimes experiment with alcohol, even drugs, but new ways they're finding to get drunk had jaws dropping in our newsroom.

"Quicker high, they think it's going to last longer, it's more intense," said Dr. Dan Quan from Maricopa Medical Center.

"This is not isolated to any school, any city, any financial area," Officer Chris Thomas, a school resource officer, said. "This is everywhere."

When we heard how kids are getting drunk these days, we thought no way.

So we hit up the experts to find out if it's an urban legend or if it's legit.

"There's been documented cases of people going to the hospital with alcohol poisoning just from utilizing it that way," Thomas said.

Thomas spends his days patrolling the halls of a Valley high school. He's heard first hand how kids are getting tipsy.

"What we're hearing about is teenagers utilizing tampons, soak them in vodka first before using them," Thomas said.

"It gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream. There's no barrier, there's no stomach acid to prevent it," Thomas said.

"I would expect it to absorb pretty quickly as well, because it's a very vascular structure," Quan told CBS 5.

"This is definitely not just girls," Thomas said. "Guys will also use it and they'll insert it into their rectums."

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."

"A lot of people believe it would cover it up, your breath won't smell like alcohol so you can hide it from the parents, hide it from police," Thomas said.

But take it from this cop, it won't work.

It's not just jail time that might be a problem, these new tricks are really risky and could cause some serious problems.

"It can cause mucosal irritation, meaning the vaginal wall can be irritated," Quan said.

Plus, what if you over do it? Irritation could be the least of your problems.

"Some of the dangers associated with this is there's no barrier," Thomas said.

There's also no gag reflex, and if it isn't going down the hatch you won't have that tell tale sign you've had too much to drink, which means you won't throw up if you've got alcohol poisoning, and you'll pass out before you know there's a problem.

"It's problematic because you don't really know how much you're going to absorb," Quan said.

It turns out that a super tampon can hold about a shot of vodka, which is pretty potent when it's going straight into your system.

"If the person does pass out or lose consciousness, health care professionals won't necessarily know that they have to look in those areas and that may delay treatment," Quan said.

If you're a parent of a teenager, what can you do to make sure tampons are used for the job they're intended and nothing more?

"Well then you need to get involved," Thomas said. "Stop being your kid's friend and be their parent first."

Another myth is that kids apparently think getting drunk that way means they would pass a breathalyzer test because they didn't drink the booze, but that's not true. The test checks out what's in your blood stream, not what's on your breath.

Jesus. Remember back when we were kids and old people freaked out at the edgy outlandish things we were doing because they couldn't understand it?

Why not just drink booze the regular way? I mean, if being cool nowadays is suppositories, I'm glad I'm too old to get it.

**Medium of Death**

Fantastic.

**daedalus**

It actually sounds more like hanging out with the elderly. Suppositories and enemas and everything.

Also, from a few years ago: http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/05/26/teens-take-vodka-straight-up-through-their-eyes/

Now that's hardcore in a way I can respect at least.

You can also pour a shot into a nebulizer (like for asthma medications) and breath in the alcohol spray. Hits your lungs and goes straight to the blood.

People are always trying to get drunker faster.

Then they die...

It's a shame they can't have a magic plant to take one or two hits of and be on there way. That could be dangerous though!

...wait...

Nutmeg?

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.

I was taking the

lol. It's nothing something i would ever do, nor do i seriously recommend it.

**Albatross**

Yes, it's obvious that you don't recommend trying it, what with you recommending that people try it, and all...

**daedalus**

Seriously? People try to get trashed from acetaminophen? Jesus.

There's a reason why I spend all that time precipitating it out of my Vicodin.

It was meant as a joke.

No gak.

I think the bigger problem is why the hell so many people want to get high....

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?

Google "Jenkems"

**Sasori**

This is pretty insane.

**Ouze**

I doubt this story is true. No, I'm not claiming AustonT is a liar - I'm sure this was reported in the legitimate news. However, they love reporting on essentially made up bs like this. 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.

**Lord Scythican**

Well that is one way to clean up to gene pool.

I wonder if this will cause enough damage to their vaginas that will prevent them from having kids? Surely we wouldn't want them having kids that will inherit their stupidity, right?
