A French American scientist has invented a new alcohol spray that instantly intoxicates the user. However, the effects are nearly as brief, wearing off in a matter of moments.

The spray, WA|HH Quantum Sensations, was created by David Edwards and was unveiled during a recent Paris exhibition.

The short-term effects are reportedly due to the 0.075 millileter dosage. In other words, it would take 1,000 sprays to equal the level of alcohol contained in one conventional drink.

The spray bottle itself was created by French product designer Philippe Starck and will be sold for about $26.

Reportedly, not only does the sensation of being drunk wear off almost immediately but the user would also supposedly be able to pass a breathalyzer test, verifying that they are no longer under the influence of alcohol.

In other words, you won't be needing to pay a visit to the Hangover Heaven bus in Las Vegas.

Edwards has also invented other sprays, which allow you to taste various foods and drinks, including coffee and chocolate, without actually consuming them. And those have sold more than 400,000 units without the benefit of alcohol.

There's still no official word on if or when the WA|HH Quantum Sensations will be available in America.

How long is "a matter of moments" for the effect to wear off ?

And does the body still have to process the alcohol via the liver with the same damaging effect as drinking it would ?

Dammit, Science! You're going the wrong way! I want an instant sober spray, although preferably with longer lasting results than just "moments."

Give me a spray that can cure my hangovers and i'll be happy.
I can get drunk easy, without the need of spraying myself.

Could work for cases of people trying to quit drinking. A quick spray and a 2 minute drunk feeling could help get over the need to consume large amounts of alcohol and damage the liver.

So instead of going out with your mates for a drink you can now sit at home spraying yourself? Nice! Alcoholism, here I come! :rofl:

as far as I know. Juveniles are under 18. Also. Depressed people drink to get drunk.
