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.

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.

If They choose alcoholism over treatment, yes, to some degree they are.

You really have the wrong idea of depression, probably never been to the bottom have you? In those situations people mostly don't choose and go for the easiest way out, either alcohol and/or drugs, calling people like that juvenile is just wrong.

So I can spray, get instantly drunk, immediately do something stupid like punch a stranger, take my clothes off or dance like a **** and then I get to sober straight up and realise what I've done. I'll pass thanks science.

What if someone keeps spraying it on you? :rofl:

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
