So weird.  Thanks to www.boingboing.net   States may ban vaporized alcohol delivery system. David Pescovitz: Alcohol Without Liquid (AWOL) is a vaporized Vodka delivery system that enables users to "inhale" their liquor. (Previously on BB here.) Thirteen states are considering legislation to prohibit the sale of AWOL while the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States are also fighting for a nationwide ban. As my friend Scott Daniel said, "They always hate it when you inhale." From the Miami Herald: Peter Cressy, (Distilled Spirits Council) president, said its members aren't threatened by the competition posed by AWOL but worry about abuse, putting him in the difficult position of opposing a hangover-free buzz. "This would strongly suggest that the purpose of this device is to get a buzz. We don't think getting a buzz is a good idea..." Link (Thanks, Michael-Anne Rauback!)
