Cloud Buzz is described as a “refreshing” way to enjoy shots of all spirits, served in specially designed balloons that are pressurised, and contain vaporised premixed spirits inside.

“When served, you simply inhale from the balloon and the alcohol will instantly vaporise into a misty cloud which, will give you an instant buzz while also making it an aromatic and pleasant experience to taste the actual flavour of the drink”, its website states.

   Saw these guys catching everyone’s attention at Imbibe expo in London this summer. It was impossible to miss them!
   After talking with them definitely can tell how much involved, passionate and enthusiastic they are about this project!
   I tried it and it is amazing how good the alcohol actually tastes vaporized!
   Definitely would suggest everyone to at least give it a try!

   This is just the sort of stupid idea that is a gift to the anti-alcohol lobby. These products should be banned from sale in the UK. The idea of ‘inhaling’ alcohol rather than enjoying a drink that just happens to have alcohol in it are entirely different. This is putting alcohol on the same level as drugs.

   Latvia historically has a drinking problem that surpasses Scotland so no surprise their HQ is listed there. However the same effect can be obtained by supping a Brandy through a straw which has the end half in & half out of the surface of the liquid thus getting the perfect air to fuel ratio to get alcohol;into the lungs for an instant hit. (not that I am advocating this, because evidently drinking straws are killing our marine life).

   has anyone studied the negative effects of this on a human’s lungs?? This is the stupidest idea I’ve seen a long time!
