A new alcoholic art installation was introduced by Alcoholic Architecture where cocktail-lovers are treated with boozy mists allowing them to inhale their favourite beverages. The concept uses powerful humidifiers to create a cloud made up of one part alcoholic spirit to three parts mixer.
The walk-in cloud bar is set to be launched later this month at Borough Market. With its 140per cent humidity, visitors will be able to absorb alcohol through their eyelids and lungs.
Sam Bompas, a director of the firm, said: “We were working with respiratory scientists and chemists to calculate safe lengths of time that visitors can remain in the cloud.
“It’s a complex series of calculations taking in ratio of spirit to mixer, room size, number of people in the room, air change, lung capacity and rate of alcohol absorption.”
