Alcoholic Architecture: This Room Will Get You Drunk Without Drinking
Bompas and Parr is a London-based company that makes both fresh fruit and alcoholic molded treats using English jellies, also know as gelatin (yes, as in Jell-O.)
Their latest creation ditches the gelatinous foodstuff for an immersive alcohol environment that gets you tipsy without sipping.
We explain everything you need to know about this booze infused space including how you can experience it first hand, on the following page.
The fog inside this neon pink structure is an inhalable mist composed of one part fine spirits and three parts mixer. The boozy cloud was created using a powerful humidifier that saturated the enclosed air with the alcoholic cocktail so when inhaled and absorbed through the eyes, it will deliver its tipsy effects.
But is inhaling alcohol a good idea?
Here are two things to consider. Inhaling booze will get your drunk quicker, which scares the bejesus out of public health experts according to Slate.
And if you think inhaling alcohol is better for your waistline — sorry! A gazillion medical experts agree it will only reduce your calorie intake slightly compared to drinking.
It can also be pretty darn messy. A boozy mist like this will soak your clothes and hair with stinky alcohol.
The Bompas and Parr’s Alcoholic Architecture will open their doors for one month starting July 31, 2015, in Borough Market, London’s most notable food market. Tickets are required, and FYI, the boozy structure is not open on Sundays. For more details visit: Alcoholic Architecture.
