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.
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
Cue Eyeball Paul
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."
I'm very familiar. That's why I know it won't keep the smell of alcohol off your breath. The alcohol goes to the blood, and a byproduct goes to the lungs which is exhaled. You can't defeat a breathalyzer by shoving booze up your ass.
Ooohhh I see what you mean, my mistake! I'm used to people saying buttchugging itself is a myth and doesn't work, so I misunderstood!
