Drinking alcohol through a straw gets you drunker/drunk faster....

I would have thought that passing fluid through a thinner vessel means relatively less fluid ingested over time. This means if you drink the same amount but slower, the same amount of alcohol is able to pass through at a slower rate meaning more of it has a chance to be absorbed into the blood stream.

Scrunch up two paper towels into a ball, then throw a cup of water on one and on the other one slowly pour a thin stream of water. You will see that there is a lot of wasted water around the first towel, this is because the rate of absorption was slower than the speed of the water. But the towel you're slowly pouring on will absorb all of the liquid because the rate of absorption was faster than the speed of water. Now when you drink fast, you're drinking faster than the rate you can absorb nutrients, it will absorb some of the drink, and once you're saturated it will flush out the rest.

The rate of absorption of alcohol by the human body would be determined by the rate of digestion not by the rate of ingestion.
 
I really can't believe some of the logic in here ... if you were to drink quicker through a straw it is the speed of consumption that is being changed - the actual straw is irrelevant. If one were to drink the same quantity at the same speed with and without a straw there would be no difference.
 
Some of those fat darts players of years gone by could pour a pint down there through without touching the glass with there lips.

I would say that would be the fastest way to drink and at end of the day kill yourself or try shotgunning a can.

Still goes by how much you can get in your guy in X time in units per hour.
 
Another Myth is "Vodka eyeballing", it cannot get you drunk faster and can make you blind.

Not sure if standing on your head and sticking the bottle up your bumhole would get you drunk from a vodka enema as you can take meds that way correct? :p

Alcohol isn't digested, it's absorbed directly. Hence the faster you drink you drink the faster blood alcohol rises.

Nonsense, the stomach is a pouch that will contain all the alcohol you have drunk, none of it gets wasted.

Down it in one compared to drinking it over an hour. Massive difference.

Indeed, I can remember 20 years ago in my student days downing 6 pints in less than an hour, for some odd reason I was knocking them back like pints of coke. About 15mins later, had to be supported on both sides back home and dumped on my bed!
 
You can drink it without tasting it and if you drinking out of a punch with spirits then you can drink loads of spirits without realizing how strong it is, i have done this before and passed out right after drinking two cups of a punch with a straw.
 
What a strange coincidence. I was wondering the exact same thing the day before this thread was posted having not thought of it since I was a teenager over 10 years ago.

Of course but this thread is about drinking through a straw.
If you downed 5 pints in 1 hour with either method you won't be any more drunk with the straw.

No, but if casually drinking with a straw results in you drinking faster than casually drinking without a straw... guess what?
