That's a really good article about not believing all the media's crazy stories about teenagers.

It's not widespread but people have indeed tried this in real life: http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90534 has a testimonial or two.   

I think there's a good chance these folks only tried it after first hearing about it through the scare stories, though.

One thing's for sure: teens aren't doing this everyday at parties.  Your average teenager is just as grossed out by the idea as we old farts are.

why can't kids just get drunk by downing a bunch of cheap beer? Seriously...

You've got both of those points spot on, good sir.

You could do it, it's a legitimate way to get drunk really fast. The question is, is it really a widespread practice? I would say no. Now, I'm sure it's been done, there are always a few wingnuts out there, but a common practice? C'mon. If some teens are going to get a hold of some alcohol, they're just going to drink it. No need for fancy theatrics.

You get a lot of stories like this. "Oh my God, what the kids are doing these days!" Truth is, the kids are doing the same thing kids having been doing for years.

Side note, you absorb most chemicals much faster rectally than you would if you simply ingested them. It's hard enough to watch your intake with hard alcohol without the added duress of sticking them up your bum (or fanny, as it were). There is an actual practice of the coffee enema. Basically what it sounds like, an enema done with coffee. Janet Jackson has revealed in interviews that she is a proponent. Don't do this. Caffeine is fairly innocuous, but it is entirely possible to O.D. on it. Sticking it up your bum will cause you to absorb it way faster than you probably should. Even if you are a fan of the enema, don't do it with a fluid that contains caffeine.

The more you know.

That is a very sensible post, Mofo. I was kind of thinking that when I initially pulled this post up, but didn't bother questioning it at the time.

I have actually heard of at least one alcoholic using a booze enema to bypass an ulcerated stomach. The guy would squirt a couple jugs of wine up his butt and just let it do its work. Of course, the reason I've heard of him is that he died of alcohol poisoning for the reasons given in this article. Alcohol is absorbed very quickly from the colon, and the body can't throw it up.

Of course, I am kind of surprised by the idea of kids doing it at parties, which I find kind of doubtful. And I would think straight liquor would burn, especially inserted in some chick's box. These are sensitive areas.
