I was riding the bus home the other day thinking about the 'Sobering Sluice' referenced on this site. Specifically, would it work? Did it make any sense?
Ethanol is a small molecule, so it does diffuse throughout the body. So maybe.
If it does in fact diffuse OUT, the corrolary is that it should diffuse IN.
THE IDEA: A reservoir of grain alcohol connected to your hot tub, with a fully adjustable concentration level.
Set that puppy for .05 %, lay back, and get drunk as you soak. For days and days if you want, with no wear and tear on your stomach.
SECONDARY BENEFIT: Keep your jacuzzi sterile without stinky bromine or toxic chlorine!-- GutPunchLullabies, Feb 23 2006 Sobering Sluice, (c) Bungco Sobering_20sluiceThe socially responsible version [GutPunchLullabies, Feb 23 2006] I don't think alcohol will diffuse through your skin. However, put it in a hot bath, and you will be inhaling the stuff, so you probably will get light-headed.-- DrCurry, Feb 23 2006 Can it have a pivoting trip-seat and a target for softballs?-- RayfordSteele, Feb 23 2006 I also keep reading this as "slobbering juice". I have heard something about lowering ones testicles into a shot glass of cheap liquor. I will see if I can find instructions for you.-- bungston, Feb 24 2006 random, halfbakery
