Would like to say that the same amount of it goes through your liver. The issue is that your body absorbs it faster through the mucous membranes than through your stomach and small intestines. So you get the drunk feeling faster, and possibly more drunk because of the rate of processing it.

Granted, it’s only Tuesday, but this is a contender for the most fucked up thing I’ll read this week.

You also can’t throw it up if you have too much, which is the body’s safety regulation for alcohol poisoning. Same reason you can technically vape alcohol, but it’s hilariously dangerous and should never ever be done. It’s really easy to kill yourself with alcohol when you bypass the liver with it.
