States may ban vaporized alcohol delivery system

By at 8:05 am Wednesday, Apr 27

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:
Awol 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..."
