I fill a bath tub up with standard vodka and have a nice long soak. Will I be drunk when I get out?

I assume the vapours could have an affect on my BAC, but would I absorb any alcohol through my skin?

Probably best to do the experiment, and report back.

Yea, I doubt you could tolerate sitting in a bath for long enough though.

If you went all emo in the bath it’d work better.

i’d say you’d have enough fumes coming off the surface to get you pissed

i was talking to someone who used to disinfect tanks with ethanol, even with a gas mask on he’d get pissed from the fumes

you’d probably die from inhling the fumes before absolute drunkenness came over you.

I vaguely recall someone falling into a vat of beer and dying from asphyxiation.

Sorry, what I meant to say of course was that it’s a spiffing day in the Pearl for cleaning alcohol again.
