Same principle as nic-o-patch.
Comes in 3 variations: Red Wine; White Wine; Sparkling Wine.
To reduce consumption apply one patch, your choice. To stop consumption apply all three
at the same time.
When you remove patch, your consumption can resume without any side effects.
Great for
dieters who need to stop drinking wines for a period of time to reduce weight

What trace chemical would these patches deliver? |
|
| |
Trace chemical? Not sure. Maybe the famous neuro-chemical that causes that "little
voice" to say ' . . .don't drink that now, stupid, you are trying to diet. |

There is a drug that will induce, I think, rather violent nausea if alcohol is consumed after the drug takes effect. If I recall correctly, experts advise against its use among alcoholics, but I don't remember whether that's for reasons of ineffectiveness or dangerous side effects. |
|

That drug is called antibuse (disulfiram).
My point (question) was that transdural patches can deliver nicotine effectively because it is an insanely potent (and toxic) chemical that happens to be the addictive agent in tobacco, but what chemical in wine is analogous that could be delivered transdurally in an amount that would work? I think a patch the size of a bedsheet soaked in ethyl alcohol might work . . . maybe. |

Abusing ants is just plain sick. |

And tough, too. Have any idea how hard it is to find a cat 'o .09 tails? |

Call me sick if you like, I'll just keep doing it. |

Why not drink Vodka instead. Virually no calories. |
|
| |
No cal huh? The USDA says that's not quite true.
Vodka= 1 1/2-fluid-ounce jigger 105c;
Wines Table, red or white, 5-fluid-ounce glass 100c. But the good news is that alcohol
has no fat content to build up |
|
| |
Compared to wine it has virtually no calories. |
|
| |
Compared to a 25 kilogram sack of sugar this pork chop
has virtually no calories. |
|
| |
I think I'd rather just get fat. |

Wouldn't a cabbage patch be better, delivering all the goodness of cabbage without the taste. It could come with a free doll... |

Damn. I was going to post an 'alco
patch' and foolishly looked first to see if
I'd been beaten to it.
Presumably,
after tobacco, alcohol will be next. It
will be increasingly unnacceptable to
use alcohol, and links will be found
between drinking and all major and
minor diseases (including earthquakes,
global warming and athlete's foot).
Research will show that 'secondary
drinking' is a major risk factor for those
around you, and pubs will ask you to
step outside if you want a quick drink.
Airlines will ban drinking and fit ethanol
detectors in the lavatories, and the
government will tax alcohol at levels
of..(no, wait, they already to
that).
Then, the 'alcoPatch' will
come into its own. It'll need to be big
(probably the size of a small towel) to
hold a worthwhile amount of alcohol,
and perhaps the ethanol will be
supplemented with a hint of DMSO to
aid skin penetration. |
