1) vodka tampons are a hoax. those tissues do not absorb alcohol
2) alcohol up the back door works all too well. easy high. very dangerous if not done carefully.
3) come people, check your stuff via google.

Wouldn’t a vodka soaked tampon be the size of a baseball? And wouldn’t you squeeze all the vodka out trying to insert it?

@26–you had an enema bottle lying around for more depraved reasons that putting vodka up your butt?

Rock on, dude. But seriously, stay out of my bathroom.

Rectal beer bonging sounds like an unlikely but plausible fraternity hazing ritual. When I was an undergraduate at Dickinson College (2001-2006), two stories about fraternity hazing caught my attention. One was about an “elephant walk,” in which recruits were forced to walk in a sort of conga line, each man holding the genitals (excuse me, “junk;” technical terms are important when dealing with bro culture nitwits) of the man in front of him. The other story was about pledges being provided with trash cans to vomit into during a forced liquor binge, with those who didn’t meet consumption quotas being paddled by the pledgemaster.

I never confirmed either of these stories, but both had the ring of truth. Most of the fraternities at Dickinson were infested with creeps and thugs, and the one where the paddling allegedly took place was especially bad. Mind you, Dickinson seemed to have a relatively subdued fraternity culture. Greek Life was rather irrelevant to the rest of campus, and the hazing at Dickinson couldn’t hold a candle to practices at many schools. There’s some sick shit in bro world, and more than a few sororities are run by moral degenerates of a different sort.

But stories like these, to the extent that they’re actually true, are only relevant to the idiotic and the desperate. Most alcoholics, let alone casual drinkers, are at no risk of taking alcohol vaginally or anally. None. People who find themselves in voluntary organizations where that sort of sadism is the norm need to find new friends, but the fundamental problem in those cases isn’t alcohol, it’s sociopaths who go unchallenged.

Americans are sick puppies for being titillated by that sort of nonsense, and our media are sicker puppies yet for promoting it. This country needs to get itself to a wholesome, old-fashioned burlesque show.

As a woman, I can say unequivocally that there is no fucking way in hell I would shove a vodka-soaked tampon up there. And no other woman would either, unless she wanted to know the burning pain of 1000 UTIs at once.

Funny – the local DC NBC affiliate had a story on this “iDosing” tonight. I saw a promo, but didn’t watch the report.

After ’94 when the Intertubes went big, me and some buddies would sit around and create stories like this. Some went “viral” before we knew what that word meant. These stores were like our children and we never knew where they’d end up. Tom Brokaw reported on one while I was watching him on the moving-picture-box.

Good times.

PS: People have died from alcohol enemas. Please use Google before you put things up your butt. I guess that’s the lesson…and the bumper sticker.
