Shooting vodka not a quick enough path to drunkenness for you? Try shooting it through your eye. “Vodka eyeballing,” is the latest drinking trend on Britain’s universities, it supposedly gives an instant high, although some wonder if “eyeballers” are already so drunk they convince themselves of a nonexistent effect. Those who do it claim that it induces the feeling of drunkenness and provides an instant high. The devastating long term damages it causes is becoming a big concern. British doctors are worried that the drinking habits of students are out of control. Melissa has left university last year and has a constantly watering left eye. This is not her only concern, the doctors had warned her that her eyesight can reduce when she gets older.


I do not understand why people would like to poor pure vodka in to their eyes to get drunk. When I read about eyeballing for the first time in a Dutch paper, I doubted if something as stupid as eyeballing could become a hype as big as this one but youtube took all my doubts away. Apparently some of us have to urge to get drunk as fast as possible even if it causes severe physical damage.
