Good lord - did you know that people are putting vodka in their eyes to get drunk??

[BendyBob]

Here This sounds utterly gross.

I have heard that before, it gets you high more quickly due to there being membranes in your eyes and it absorbs straight into the blood stream, same goes if you snort it. It is more popular with teenagers, who do not necessarily enjoy the taste of alcohol as a drink in itself, rather like to get drunk, so why drink it if you can snort it/put it in eyes.

I have not read the article btw, I know this through my work with drug and alcohol users.

snorting vodka was all the rage in my youth.

You've heard of it Pavlov? I think I must lead a very sheltered existence God it sounds vile though. Makes me feel quite queasy to even think about it.

god I am so old

the thought of putting ANYTHING in my eye fills me with horror

I have heard of this before. There was a character in a Kevin and Perry movie called Eyeball Paul.

I remember people doing this at parties in my youth. I can't even put eye drops in though, so I never tried it.

Not heard of this before however I remember snorting vodka at a party 15 years ago . It wasn't pleasant, and I never felt the urge to do it again.....

Yes bendybob i have my finger firmly on the pulse! I had heard of it a long time ago actually, but then, I work with hardened users who did anything they possibly could to get off their faces. So, it has just taken time to become mainstream is all. There are other ways too.

Same applies to other drugs, and other bodily locations.

See, its not new at all .

I knew as soon as I read the title that there would be a Daily Mail link in there

I knew people 10 years ago who were doing this. Never did it myself as am a contact lens wearer (and it sounds hideous).

But won't it sting?

Hope the woeman in the article mentioned it to her parents and didn't break the news to them via a newspaper article!

I've got a friend who's from Mansfield and used to be a miner

he told me that on payday they'd all go to the boozer and snort vodka off upturned wine glasses

Oh dear, one more reason to keep dc locked in their rooms until they're 40 then

I knew about drugs being used in,up and on various locations but never heard of this one. I mean your eyes are super delicate aren't they? Urrgh!

Yeah I've known about it for a while ----the muppets!!

Thinking about it makes my eyes go cold

It is utterly utterly stupid. I thought I was stupid for sleeping with contacts in and scratching my cornea with mascara once.

ewwwwww!
Why oh why ?

I know a few girls that used to soak tampons in vodka to make home made suppositories so they could get drunk more quickly. Not sure if it worked but I will still a bit and at it.

is it utterly wrong of me to wonder if the calories from the vodka get absorbed in the same way?

Your thinking it could be a calorie free activity EccentricaGallumbits? Hmm..good point, maybe they're onto something after all. I wonder if it works with cake

Well at least they can't get infected with all that alcohol. But it must sting surely!

How the hell do you snort vodka?

And can you really insert soggy tampons?

That pesky feminism again ....
