There's a new bar in London that has found a way to get people drunk without actually drinking.
Alcoholic Architecture is a pop-up bar in London that gets people drunk in a different way. Here, rather than sipping on a cocktail, people enter an alcoholic cloud and imbibe alcohol through their lungs and eyeballs.
The bar will be open for another six months.

When guests walk in, they enter a walk-in cocktail "cloud," where the air is infused with various spirits and mixed drinks at a 1:3 ratio. Powerful humidifiers keep the humidity at 140%, ensuring that the cloud saturates the air, and thus that the alcohol enters guests' bloodstream through the body’s mucous membranes — primarily the lungs and eyeballs.
Breathing liquor means bypassing the liver, which in turn means that you will get drunk faster: apparently 40% less alcohol will cause the same effect. This also means consuming 40% fewer calories.
Guests are asked to don special protective gear that looks like a poncho so that they they don’t smell like, well, a boozy cloud.
