Okay. I can’t tell if you’re serious, but if that’s true, how does that work medically?

Don’t liquids get absorbed through the intestines? Can you even stick something up your butt far enough to reach your intestines?

It’s capillary action. It just rams straight into your bloodstream, no dilution or waiting to go through stomach. It’s fast and effective.

So, as it doesn’t go through the stomach, do you not puke if you’re experiencing alcohol poisoning?

I’m sure you’d still puke as it’s nausea that makes you vomit not alcohol sitting in your stomach.

Alcohol gets absorbed by mucus membrane much faster than by going through your digestive tract. And your anus is lined with mucus membrane.
It was a craze a decade or so ago where I live, cause teenagers did that to get drunk without having their breath smell of alcohol, and some of them ended up in the ER.

Did they ever realize that’s not how that works?

Oh but it is. Not familliar with the phrase “boofing,” are you? Works for more than just booze, too, all kinds of things can become a suppository and affect your brain if you ignore the doctors warning you it could kill you, or listen to the ones saying “here’s some butt pills.”

It was also a crazy in the US. They called it butt chugging. It was funny to hear politicians talk about how we needed to do something about butt chugging

Additionally to what others have said it’s also quite dangerous. You can drink a fatal amount of alcohol but your body will generally puke before it absorbs enough to kill you.

Using this method (boofing), you don’t have that defense, it’s absorbed too quickly and your body doesn’t generally shit itself to expel poison.
