Company launches alcohol-spray-in-a-can

A new device claims to make a person feel drunk within seconds – and then sober up just as quickly.

THERE ARE MANY noble causes out there which could reap the benefits of sound research.

If you happen to be too lazy to physically drink an alcoholic beverage in order to feel tipsy, we aren’t convinced you fall under that category – but evidently somebody does.

The “Wahh spray”, made by WAHH Quantum Sensations and now on sale in Paris, aims to allow a user to bypass the bother of finding a clean glass or even (gasp!) pouring liquid from a bottle, by giving a few moments of intoxication via an atomizer.

The feeling of drunkeness last for just a few seconds and disappears just as fast, say the creators.

French designer Philippe Starck and American scientist David Edwards, the device’s inventors, said Wahh was “an alternative that offers the idea of intoxication without its adverse effects”, the Daily Mail reports.

However, not everyone appears to be on board. Reviewing the device, The Guardian‘s Kim Willsher said: “It made me feel slightly light-headed for the merest nanosecond and left a slightly burning vodka-like taste on my tongue.”
