    Just wondering, out of curiosity, if anyone has ever tried this before?

    Somebody posted about having a cold and I remembered having a cold once, went out on the wreck and after a night of snorting, my cold was gone!

    You get that elated drunken feeling without the nausea, vomiting etc.

    Anyone else ever done it?

    cant see myself trying it for some reason

    i snorted crushed polo mints when i was about 10 though, also something i can never see myself doing again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    No, I value my flesh too much! But its something I've always wanted to try, purely because I hear it gets ya pretty langered pretty quickly! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,136 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    jasus that sounds nasty. Bad enough snorting cocaine :p You'll probably risk alchohol poisoning and damage to the sensitive membranes in your nose, although it I'd imagine it would clear up the congestion :)

    I know people eyeball vodka, and I've also heard of a "vodka tampon" (apparently that one does cause alchohol poisoning). So in this case, I've no idea if you're trolling or not :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    I swear I'm not trolling, I have done it on a few occassions, not every weekend obviously as I can imagine it's not too good for the olfactory senses!

    Last time was about two years ago at a christmas party. Got a few looks from my co-workers I can tell you!

    A few half-teaspoons or a quarter cap-full.
    Any more (first time anyway) and you'll likely try washing your nose out!
    Get's easier after the first one or two goes.

    tried it once - quick buzz, quick comedown and a stinking headache after 30 minutes.
    plus you look like a gluey and your nose dribbles. not recommended.

    ask the russki's. he's not lying. I vaguely remember something to do with bread as well(that is bread vodka and snorting) can't remem though. That story def had russians in it.

    i think ill pass down the offer to try this...cant be too good for you....i shudder at the thought of it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies

    Aftershock??!? Jesus, I'd never drink that stuff never mind put it up my nose!!
    It's menthol stuff isn't it. Guaranteed to screw you up if snorted!

    disclaimer: I am not responsible if you try this and die or lose your sense of smell (not in that order, obviously) but I reserve the right to send a small bouquet of flowers or pot pourri, depending on the outcome.

    a friend of mine once done a line of tabasco sauce and pepper (not together but one after another) and he also drank a half a pint of guinness up his nose


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    A friend of mine's Dad used to drink beer through his nose for party tricks (yes he is Australian). And he was refused for military service because his nose was buggered.

    We used to do it a lot, we ended up snorting raw alcohol one night out of boredom.

    great days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    there was an article on vodka snorting in a magazine with the sunday times a few years back. it was a growing trend in london exclusive clubs. people even brought out silver snorting spoons.
    i'd inject it before snorting it

    hang on a minute, exclusive london clubs? i'd bet a rolled up fifty pound note they already had some of those silver snorting spoons(?, or maybe tubes?) laying around from the last big hip, trendy london club thing to do. :D

    actually saw a 'thingy' for that sort of stuff made out of solid gold that was a mini replica of a hoover upright vacuum cleaner on some website a few years back. and I think you can still get 'snuff snooters' which is something to carry around your...erm....'snuff' which works in such a way you can stick it in your hooter and sniff (kinda like vicks) and it gives you just the right amount of your chosen poison (adjustable apparently depending on what's in it).

    oh, and back tot the vodka snorting thing. yep, a couple of times when i was living in tenerife. had half a capful (trying to look hard as nails) and got a bit of a nosebleed followed very quickly by being completely off my tits, followed by the king of all hangovers a little while later. didn't let it ruin my night though, and did it a couple more times after that, much more sensibly with a little line of it along the bar and a straw.

    also used to spend our evenings using aftershock as mouthwash, which was fun. basic idea is knocking it back and swilling it round your mouth for 30 seconds (or more depending on how tough you want to look:D) then swallowing it followed quickly by a sharp intake of breath through gritted teeth. the only way to get the most out of aftershock if you ask me but make sure you're holding onto something or you're likely to fall off your stool cos it's got quite a kick to it. ;)

    then there's the vodka melon and vodka jellies, but that's another story that's been discussed elsewhere (food & drink if you're curious) on boards.

    that was in the good old days when vodka redbull came in pints and you'd go out at 10pm at the earliest and be back in your bed at 10am if you were lucky. it's all changed now though, and apparently (so i'm told by friends still living there) that veronica's in las america's (the bit where bobby's bar was in tenerife uncovered) is all closed down and it's going to be flattened and turned into a car park. :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    had vodka jellies at one of my 'cough' exclusive parties once. Xcept i messed it up used glass shot glasses instead of dispossable ones...turned out to be a success people spent ages licking the inside of the glasses and it led onto some different sort of licking...if u catch my drift...

    strange, i did likewise untill my school rang my mother after i was caught snorting it like coke (i.e in a line), in the back of class,



    i was 9 as far as i can remember


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Yea, done it, what about tequila..... lick the salt, snort the shot, and squueze the lemon in the eye.

    Or a brain ****, light and absinth, hold an upended cocktail shaker over the lit shot using a towel. when you start feeling the heat through the towel, insert the free end of the towel in to the opening of the shaker. Down the shot then insert a straw into the cocktail shaker and suck like a bitch..... you'll feel the hot gas go in, stay sucking as long as you can or until the air in the shaker runs out.


    Snort vodka..... PFFFFFFFF!

    Yes, it's lovely.

    Here's what I'd do!
    Get a likkle bottle of Beconase (Sinus stuff you squirt up your nose), and empty it out.
    Then, give it a bit of a wash, and fill it with vodka.

    Squirt at own leiruse.

    Haven't done it in absolutely ages, but it was quite head wrecking! :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,253 ✭✭✭gobby


    your all nuts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Snorted Jack Daniels from a girl's belly button once*. Couldn't see for a minute or two, and my nose felt like it was on fire for a while. Don't think I'll be doing it again.

    * It was a diving club tradition. Don't judge me!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    surely, you could drown from that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Possibly. But if strong enough, it'll all evaporate before it gets that far. Directly into the blood, see. Nasty. I don't recommend it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,985 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    ahhh yes, tried this back in first year college, deadly stuff, you get this hammered feeling for 5mins. I`d deffo give it another bash if I was bored. Numb faces ahoy

    just wait till one of your friends is really drunk and then get him to snort different drinks. funny for everyone, except the friend. this way you will know if it will kill you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 590 ✭✭✭herbie747


    What sort of a loser would ever snort vodka? :rolleyes:
    It's as sad as snorting glue.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 509 ✭✭✭Pinkchick03


    Sounds disgusting tbh

    I've done the dip-dab thing too. My whole class did it one lunch time in 2nd year. We bought the school shop out of Dip-Dab, and left white crap all over the desks. The teachers got a bit suspicious....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 112 ✭✭inaccessibleisl


    If I ever saw someone snort vodka, I wouldn't be able to stop cringing for days upon days. It would be sooo embarrasing I'd say the next day they'd wish they were all dead.

    There are better things to stick up your nose.

    You loser, you used to carry it around in a sinus bottle, how sad is that.

    Snorting anything like this will dry your brain out.
    I did it, but i would never do it again.

    like the sig leonotron. ;)

    another thing i used to do in my younger wilder days was to get a brandy glass with grand marnier and another similar spirit (can't recall which one, i'll have to check) in it, and run it round the glass so the inside is completely coated with the liquid, then light it and after about 5 seconds (not much longer or the glass gets too hot) and lick the palm of your hand so it's nice and wet and put it right over the top of the glass.

    the heat from the flame is enough to burn off all the air in the glass and create a vacuum so it sticks the glass to your hand enough to be able to lift it up unsupported. you then quickly shake the glass (remembering to keep your hand flat or it will fly off and hit someone in the head) for a couple of seconds before pulling it off and knocking the drink back in one go.

    the next bit is the hard bit. have a straw standing by and as soon as you have knocked the drink back place your hand right over the glass to keep the fumes in and stick the straw though your fingers so it's about halfway into the glass, and use your other hand to stick the other end of the straw into your nose (just the tip) and pinch to close off your other nostril and then breath in sharply through it.

    big head rush followed by lots of giggles, and head shaking form the more mature parts of the audience.

    I'll email my mate in tenerife (who's still out there doing that kind of crap) and find out what the other spirit was and what it was called cos it's driving me nuts trying to remember. damn those memory gaps.:dunno:

    anyway, more fun and slightly less dangerous than snorting vodka, unless you happen to be my aforementioned mate who was part of a group of us doing it, and got talking to someone about the whole thing and lost track of time for a few minutes, leaving his drink burning. fool that he is (and i have many many stories about him) he then goes 'oh, yeah, i forgot, and sticks his hand on the now red hot glass. aside from the immediate burn from the rim of the glass it's worth mentioning that the hotter the inside of the glass is, the more suction you get from it, and the hotter the liquid inside gets. afaik he still has a scar from it, but i will check to make sure when i get hold of him about the exact recipe. :D

    Pfffttt... *

    although with the price of drink in pubs these days you would probably be better going on the cocaine instead.

    Of course the real upper class you want to emulate take vodka clonics.


    * muppets.

    If after reading this you think, yeah! I'll give this vodka snorting thing a whirl, make sure you use vodka- don't use Cork Dry Gin. Really, I swear to you, it's not pleasant.

    Now my nose can take almost anything, and has, when I was young I was bet a pound I wouldn't do a line of Schwartz chilli powder- a pound!?- yer on! following that, well, I figure I can snort caustic soda.

    Or I thought that was the case- until I snorted gin.
    Do not snort gin- it is insanity.

    We used to call them gin faces- the funny faces you make when you drink raw gin.
    Magnify that a billion times- hilarious.

    I wholeheartedly concur with my esteemed colleague, surgical alcohol was more pleasant than CDG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭PersonalJesus


    I regularly snort tequila along with the whole salt lemon thing. Its really really good. And i aint a mentalist. Its just another way of getting pissed. It tastes good too.

    But you will pay for it if you are already pretty wasted. You'll end up doing some "wild and wonderful" things.

    And not sleep for another day.
