Is it technically possible to drink a neat shot of 90 percent alcohol?!


Question: Is it technically possible to drink a neat shot of 90 percent alcohol!?
im NOT asking if its wise to do this i am asking if its scientifically possible!?

or does a lot of the alcohol just vapourise at your body temp when it hits your tongue and mouth and the fumes make you splutter and spit it out while the rest of the alcohol burns the inside of your mouth out and make your mouth water!?

as i said, im not asking if its wise to drink this, just if its possible!. please base your answers on the vaporisation point of 90 percent alcohol, and body temperature or based on PERSONAL experience of drinking a shot of PURE- NOT MIXED OR DILUTED- 90 percent alcohol!. thanks!.

my friend says its possible, i say its not!. tho they havent tried!.

Answers:
It's possible, only a small amount would evaporate on the way down the hatch!. However, the body may have an involuntary retching response to just inhaling the alcohol fumes, as the brain has a habit of assuming alcohol poisoning in these cases!.

I've never done a 90pct shot, but I've done a 75pct shot, and the only thing was I had to hold my nose to get it down!. It burned like hell, too!. I don't advise it, until you seriously want an ulcer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it is the same effect as drinking a shot of gasoline!.!.!.When a person drinks, alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the body!. Some of the alcohol is absorbed directly through the tongue and throat!. alcohol requires no digestion!. As it enters the stomach, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream!. Once alcohol enters the blood, it begins to penetrate all major organs of the body!. About 90 percent of the alcohol consumed is metabolized or eliminated from the body through the liver, and the remaining 10 percent is eliminated through the lungs and kidneys!.

drinking a shot of PURE- NOT MIXED OR DILUTED- 90 percent alcohol will kill you Www@FoodAQ@Com

not advisable but if you have the constitution of a goat then it is within the realm of possibility for a complete loon!! depends on your definition of pure alcohol though as i understand that distillation of alcohol is achieved at a very low +/- ratio or the product becomes methanol which is lethal in small doses!? or so my science teacher kept telling me ha ha ha Www@FoodAQ@Com
