You can drink it if the temperature has reached a certain point.

It was sold as part of the cocktail by the bar.

Madness!

Example here of a Liquid Nitrogen Cocktail, its the same effect they use to create magic potions and chemistry experiments on kids shows and on film.

give it a year or two before they get stomach cancer

You're actually suggesting stomach cancer from nitrogen?

Why not?

 

[DAnDan]

Why not?

It's Nitrogen, it makes up nearly 80% of the air around you. If it was carcinogenic we would all be in a lot of trouble.

Wait, you might be onto something there, maybe it’s also the nitrogen in the air that is giving people lung cancer ?

What is this hogwash? We all know that the air is made up of 100% oxygen, there cant be any Nitrogen in it or we would all be dead!

100% correct and also why it’s dangerous to smoke. It’s not the actual cigarettes that are the issue, it’s the lighting of the match!.

Oxygen is also a toxic, dont believe any of the doctors lies! I dont believe how anyone can actually take scientists seriously when they cant even cure flu and cancer yet.

Therefore so is water cos it contains oxygen.

I wouldn't drink it.. My teeth are sensitive to the cold

I was being sarcastic, Liquid Nitrogen is used on cancer suffers and on warts as well.

 

[robj20]

Are you not supposed to wait for all the nitrogen to boil off before drinking it. Like those idiots that down drinks alight without putting them out first.

Yo dawg, I heard you have cancer, so I covered your cancer with carcinogenic nitrogen.

At high partial pressure the oxygen does become toxic and can kill, although most people would never be subjected to this heh.

Whats the advisory on drinking one of these? Do you have to wait a certain time for the chemical to stop being 'dangerous'? If so, surely a more sensible approach must be taken in serving these things ie pour it, but keep it behind the bar for x minutes and then give to customer?

Not everyone is savvy enough to understand the dangers... I mean especially if drunk anyway.

The idea is it makes the drink all smoky. If you leave it behind the bar then the customer doesnt get to see or hold the smoky drink.

Waiting until it stops smoking before drinking it would be most advisable.
