The makers claim, however, that the 'harm' is limited, because you sober up equally rapidly.
The alcohol is delivered via an aerosol spray, so people feel briefly drunk, then sober up.
But however quickly people might recover, drunkenness can lead to accidents - and it's also unclear how the device could be misused by alcoholics.
Two American scientists designed the device - a small spray that gives you that instant drunk sensation from less than a drop of alcohol.
The feeling lasts just seconds - but when it fades, you are sober and able to carry on with your day.
The 'Wahh Quantum Sensations' delivers just a miniscule dose of alcohol - 0.075ml - directly in to your mouth, but thanks to the aerosol effect, the effect is instantaneous.
With a typical drink containing 40 to 60ml of alcohol, the scientists say it would take a thousand sprays to get the equivalent amount of alcohol into your system.
French designer Philippe Starck and Franco-American scientist David Edwards say the advantages is to enjoy the drunk sensation with none of the harmful effects of alcohol on the body.
Unveiling the spray in Paris yesterday, Starck said: 'The question is how to do good without doing harm. Wahh is an alternative that offers the idea of intoxication without its adverse effects.'
The product is about to go on sale in Europe for 20 Euros, with each capsule offering 21 'shots'.

This is Quantum Sensations, an aerosol spray containing 0.075ml of alcohol that, when sprayed into the mouth, makes the user instantly drunk for a couple seconds. Wait -- then why doesn't Binaca breath spray do the same thing? Regardless, who only wants to be drunk for only seconds at a time? I want to get that way, and I want to STAY that way. Forever.

Sounds a lot like nitrous. Except nitrous doesn't make you feel drunk, it makes you feel like you're traveling in a spaceship going warp-speed. It's a terrible time -- stay in school, kids.

Ziet er nog handig uit. Instant 'moed' om eventjes iemand van het andere geslacht te gaan aanspreken, en toch nog niet zat zijn? ^^
This nifty little mouth spray, called Quantum Sensations (which does look rather like a Bond gadget), allows you to get drunk instantaneously for a matter of seconds. Just spray, perk up your shoulders, and walk over to that hottie across the bar you’ve been too nervous to chat up all night. Eat a martini olive immediately after spraying for extra Bondiness.
