If you inject alcohol into your bloodstream...

...would you pass a breathalyzer test?

I saw Steve-O do it in a video once.

Injected alcohol would show on a breathalyzer test, as does any alcohol that gets into bloodstream via stomach, mucous membranes etc. It would probably impair your abilities even more than normal drinking, since the results can be unexpected, plus injecting the stuff probably isn't nice for your veins. If you want a consumage related adventure, may I suggest moistening a tampon with vodka and sticking it up to your.. ? Just remember to pull it out before you pass out, so you don't die from toxication.

Thumbs down Just great...

Hi.

No, You wouldn't pass the test.

Lessee...

Straight from the bottle =>DEAD, painfully, rather quickly though.
Pure ethanol=>bad tissue damage and possibly death.
Ethanol with medical fluids = done all the time among the medical students, a few =>DEAD

Bottom line, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, PLEASE.

Stick a soaked tampoon up Your *** if you want to experiment, just like Tsal there suggested.


Regards.
Sam

The breathalyzer/datamaster/etc. tests your blood alcohol by testing deep lung air. It's nothing to do with orally ingesting the alcohol. So besides being seriously ill, you'd still flunk the test.

A lot of alcohol is eliminated via respiration. It should still show up if injected. The tonicity of the alcohol is also very hard on the veins. There's a reason ya DRINK it, Einstein.

If you're heavily borderline, it's one more way to die testing people's tolerance to your idiocies.

Otherwise, don't do it.

If a person is injecting alcohol into their bloodstreams, they have other things to worry about than worrying if it will show up on a breathalyzer.

I tell my 12 year old son this all the time. Didn't think I'd have to tell one of you guys......Steve O is NOT a role model.

Did it once by accident back in my I.V. days. Did not kill me. Still, I would not recommend it. I think the hard core alcoholics invest in an enema bag when they can no longer swallow.

You mean I SHOULDN'T get a massive self portrait of myself tattooed on my back? My whole perception of reality is crashing down, I'm going to go pray to Lord Knoxville for guidance in these troubling times!

You will die if you inject alchohol in your veins. Don't be a fool.

The original idea should have been prefaced by the classic Darwin Award winner phrase:

"Here, hold my beer and watch this..."
