I was reading MSN's home page(default in IE10 never changed it) and this article caught my eye:

10 most dangerous teen fads of 2012:

The article included this:

Butt chugging

This disturbing act of ingesting alcohol through the rectum is also known as an alcohol enema. The teen "chugs" the alcohol through a tube or hose in an effort to get intoxicated quickly and efficiently. Several dangers exist, says Dr. Morris Silver, a gastroenterologist at Tri-City Regional Medical Center in Hawaiian Gardens, Calif. "The physical act can cause local and long-term damage to the sphincter with a risk of infection." In addition, Silver says, the method increases the risk of toxicity versus ingesting the alcohol orally, since the stomach normally breaks down some of the alcohol. Butt chugging also eliminates the body's natural reaction to copious amounts of alcohol. "You're likely get sick before you reach lethal limits if you drink it," says Silver. Plus, the lack of alcohol on the breath may delay treatment.

What the hell?

Is this really a wide spread thing?

Never heard of something so foolish, but it would give reason to call it a "Buttweiser" with no offense to Budweiser.

I don't drink, nor do I have much of a problem with underage drinking (after age 18 of course ;)) but I think this is a simple case of natural selection.

This sort of thing is very common. Let it happen.

True. Haven't done it though. :D

Wait! I have the solution! Eliminate ABC stores & selling beer. Sure, a few moonshiners may exist, but not enough to notice... :)

Maybe she would wage an incredibly expensive and uneffective "war" on alcohol use.. something that's never been attempted before in any other realm ;)

That's nothing. They've started to apply bath salts anally. Ask McAfee.

Gee! How can you do that if you love yourself? These people must not feel loved! LOL!
