"college frat kid".


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

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.

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."

It is left to science whether coffee enemas get rid of more sad cells than other colonic up the poop chute remedies.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Treating delirium tremens with paraldehyde enemas. Worked like a charm, but made the whole hospital smell funky.

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.

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.

... 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.

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?
