errr... I think this is the beginnings of an urban legend.

Snopes hasn't ruled it out: http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/vodka.asp

Wow, crazy. I work in a pretty busy ED and read an article on vodka eyeballing but never saw anybody come in for doing it. Never seen anybody come in for this either, and hopefully we don't. Teens really are dumb (myself included when I was that age).

I was a teenage idiot. However, I just wasn't that creative and neither were my friends.

Well then, I guess you never did or thought of anything ridiculous when you were a teenager. Good for you. In the real world, teens do stupid ****. Having no 'sympathy' for their ignorance and age (and therefore lack of wisdom in most things) makes me kind of sad, since you're supposed to be in a caring field.

No I am not in a "caring" field. That's for saps.

No I actually didn't think to do things like this when I was young. Most teens don't venture into this sort of thing. Wisdom doesn't enter into it at all.

We were doing a lecture on substance abuse last week, and one of my classmates was telling us about how her 11 year old daughter has friends who will crush up smarties candies and inhale them?!???!! REALLY?! WHY?!! Sugar high? They think it looks cool??? Hah, it's not funny but I'm just smh. And they ingeniously call it "smoking smarties".

I'm 27 but I remember when I was in middle school there were kids that thought it was cool to snort the kool aide powder mix. I dont know if they got a "rush" or sugar high from it but i remember how dumb they looked with purple and blue noses. Plus i would imagine it would have to burn! I mean just tasting it, it has a slightly sour taste.

What is really scary is that these kids seem way too familiar and comfortable with the concept of snorting anything period. The shows kids watch nowadays like that awful MTV show "Jackass" and other similar shows make it look funny and cool to do dangerous stunts like this and then post it on you tube for their 10sec of fame.

Years ago we used to give alcohol nebs for pulmonary edema (of course that was with rotating tourniquets...LOL) and yup they got drunk.

People, perverts, and kids have been placing unusual items in places they don't belong to get high or pleasure for a long time, so NOTHING surprises me. I remember the cluster use of glass pipette to insert cocaine into a member by blowing it in for both the anesthetic effect (endurance) and to get stoned, as well as, the lacerated urethra when the pipettes broke inside. Kind of ran the same time as small animals. What may start as urban legend will ALWAYS get some Moron to act it out.

I have heard of this and seen something similar when the tampon is used to "plug" the exit of liquor/beer and the "beer bong" or "butt chugging". Alcohol burns like crazy on mucous membranes like the lady parts.....but the rectum....think kayexalate enemas.

The "bath salts" that are being consumed are NOT the kind you use in the bath. They are a (at least for now) legal substance and mimic cocaine. GBH (actually initially made as an anesthetic), GBL, and MDPV are substances that are sold outside the FDA and the only one right now legal is the MDPV

I know of someone who used to get and give red wine enemas. They said they got pretty drunk that way....faster than drinking it. Not my choice of the way I enjoy my Red Cat.

Lmao, personally i would have to be pretty drunk already before i'm putting a beer bong or wine (or ANYTHING for that matter) up my butt ON PURPOSE! LOL, scratch that.. i'd have to be damn near comatose-drunk, acutely psychotic, and in a proctologists office before thats happening lol.

I hope they arent sharing the same beer bongs after use! I guess they didnt think ahead to when theyre all so drunk they pass out.. all that liquid's gotta come out sometime lol... i dont think it's become cool yet to crap your pants at parties haha

I heard about this a month or so ago on the Stephen Colbert report and thought it was a joke.

Well I did stupid things as a teenager but putting ETOH in a tampon would never have crossed my mind besides it would burn the tissues and I am sorry if a person of any age wants a high that bad that they are willing to do that to themselves. I dont have any sympathy either. Life is not that hard that you have to soak a tampon in vodka of all things and put it in your lady parts or rectum. I am a caring nurse but someone doing something first of all illegal for them to do due to age and then not caring enough about their own body to not damage it. Its a case of no brains and I am sure most teens are not stupid enough to abuse themselves that way.
