Rock Star Invents New Way of Drinking, Inhales

Denver-
Rock stars are known for their substance- and bodily-based explorations, notably Ozzy Osbourne snorting ants and Led Zepelin and their fish ballyhoo. Jeff Shapiro, guitar player for the band Blue Million Miles, made rock and roll history at Sputnik on South Broadway last night.
After seeing the bands Overcasters and Widowers at the Falcon, he and his crew of hoodlums and do-wrongs decided to celebrate their night of shenanigans with a round of whiskey shots for all. Shapiro, either in a moment of creativity or blinding passion or both, forwent the typical whiskey shooting protocol (tip head back, shoot down throat into stomach, writhe around into post-shot trauma) and instead inhaled it into his lungs.
“OH MAN, did you see it just came out of his nose?!” recalled an onlooker. Friends only noticed Shapiro’s jab at creativity when he began half-spewing, half-coughing the whiskey out of his lungs.
Shapiro spent the rest of the night in the corner, likely pondering his entry into the annals of rock star history.

i awoke this morning with lungs at about half capacity, nasal passages unclogged, yet running and dry all at the same time. I noticed a mildly pleasant inebriation that I chalked up to another morning- after running headlong into the donnybrookiteianers. Only today is different. Usually that wooly morning wobble would be unaplogetically steamrolled by the evil afternoon aftermath. But the gauzy spirits have been lingering all day(which might be from today’s contact with the liquor-emitting Ivyy, but that would take some more preposterous research). I think I have succeeded in achieving slow release semi-perma-buzz. Store a shot in your lungs. Like ingesting peyote buttons and Tylox, the first few hours may very well be…disturbing. For you and your friends. And patrons of Sputnik. And pets. And… After that…egads.
A word of advice: sleep sitting up.

When I was in high school, we’d load up a vaporizer with everclear and drink via inhaling that way. Shapiro didn’t invent anything with this stunt.
Man, you really started a trend, my dear. Take a look at this: Amy Winehouse Snorts Vodka
