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:

http://t.healthylivi...en-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?
