Never underestimate the dopeyness made possible young males one-upping each other, especially once alcohol becomes involved.

(26,355 posts)Taking alcohol through the "back door" results in it being absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly, resulting in a very fast drunk.
People have died of alcohol poisoning doing that.

(62,444 posts)One of the things I like about teen stunt videos on YouTube is that I remember doing all kinds of stupid stuff as a kid.
But, now, any kid contemplating something like filling an empty pumpkin with gasoline, lighting it, and hitting it with a baseball bat, can instead immediately access a video of some kid doing just that, and lighting himself on fire. The reaction is more like "what a moron" instead of "that's cool". I let my kids watch those things, and it turns out that when they were in a group of kids contemplating some stupid stunt, mine were the ones saying, "this might not be something that's going to end well."

(63,912 posts)he wanted to see what would happen. It was such a simple explanation I had to feel bad for him. Kids are naturally curious, I guess...

(40,416 posts)It is left to science whether coffee enemas get rid of more sad cells than other colonic up the poop chute remedies.

(28,470 posts)Alcohol absorbs much faster into your colon, however, than it does when normally ingested, making alcohol enemas more dangerous.

Behind the Aegis
(54,014 posts)The problem that many don't seem to understand is the alcohol gets dumped almost instantly into the blood stream and as it accumulates, very serious problems are not far behind. I saw on 20/20 (didn't see the entire piece) something about "Blackout Parties," where people, mostly teens/young adults drink until they blackout. I find this new-ish trend very disturbing.
white_wolf
(6,238 posts)That sounds rather risky. I mean I've drank till I blacked out, so I guess I can't judge too much, but I didn't mean to and no one else was that bad. I just wasn't thinking.
Behind the Aegis
(54,014 posts)I assume there are a few who don't go that far, but many of them do and blog/videotape as they do it. I would think seeing that after rising from your drunken stupor would be enough for many, but apparently it has become quite popular.
I have only "blacked out" once and turns out I was drugged. Thankfully, nothing happened to me.

(1,569 posts)So those parties seem to make no sense. Or they were named by people who don't know the difference between blacking out and passing out.
MotorCityMan
(1,203 posts)There was a particular leather bar in the Detroit area that for your birthday would give you a champagne douche. Being young(er) and naive at the time, I had to have it explained to me. It was shaken up and inserted into your back door. The alcohol hit you much faster since it was absorbed thru the linings of the anus.
Sounded stupid as hell then (I declined) and doesn't sound much smarter now.

(60,212 posts)There was a teenage girl here in Redding a few years ago who died of alcohol poisoning. She wasn't taking it up the backdoor, but she had way too much way too fast. The DA prosecuted her friend whose house it was, which was all kinds of lame.
white_wolf
(6,238 posts)maybe I could have gotten into an out of state school instead of being at school known for football and alcohol enemas. God, I being here at times.

Half of the people are even dumber than that.

(75,480 posts)I heard of tampons being soaked with gin or vodka and being inserted rectally to get high. I don't know if it's true or just a tale. I never knew anyone who actually did it.

(15,673 posts)There was a reference to it on an old Law & Order episode I watched this morning b/c I have insomnia. They also talked about ingesting cocaine that way. Women are apparently lucky b/c they have an extra place to use in this way.

(4,734 posts)... and can be deadly. I had a friend who swallowed 5 tabs of very pure mescaline wrapped in foil (early '70s) when he was getting pulled over to avoid arrest. He didn't have time to unwrap them. He passed the foil two days later, they had unwrapped slowly going through the colon, I suppose. He was tripping for about 2 days straight with Grandfather Peyote.

(39 posts)Is it the smartest thing one can do, not really, but it is their body and their choice.
What about a coffee emema would that be acceptable?
slackmaster
(60,567 posts)That's illegal in all 50 states, with exceptions for small amounts for religious purposes.
