Fucking buzzkills

Safety Shot Inc. is introducing a groundbreaking beverage to swiftly squash a buzz. The "Safety Shot" is crafted to accelerate alcohol detox and promptly plummet blood alcohol content (BAC) in record time.

The company says the beverage, created by industry experts and patented, is slated for a direct-to-consumer launch in December 2023.

Man, if somebody offered me something like that when I was younger and hitting the bars, I'd have told them, "Fuck you, I paid good money for this buzz and I'm keeping it."

    1. If I was too drunk to drive, I'd just call a friend and keep my buzz.

  2. Yes, but the red and blue lights just came on. You pull your can out and toss a shot. Refuse the breathalyzer and claim enough disability* to refuse the physical skills test and you go downtown to get printed and blood tested. Legal blah-blah-blahs cause further delays. When you get your blood drawn it is long enough after the shot for it to have reduced your blood alcohol content below actionable thresholds.

    These guys have a future so bright they have to wear shades!

    *Age, weight, inner ear issues from sinus infection, a bad knee, obesity. Pick one that fits you.

    1. This. If their product works as it's described, they'll make millions because of this scenario. Everyone will soon keep a couple doses of it in their glove compartment. (And take both, against the labels instructions, when they get pulled over.)

  3. I would just take a little bump & off to the next bar . And riding a Honda 1000 Interceptor it's a wonder I survived any of the 80s. That stuff would have never helped.

  4. In my days as an ER nurse; had a woman in narcotic overdose come in. Did the usual lifesaving drill. When I started to push the narcan; the "boyfriend" said, "don't give her that; I paid a lot of money for the drugs she's on....".

  8. And in twenty years, on late night TV there'll be lawyers shoutin' out "Did you take Safety Shot? Call us today! You might be entitled to a share of fifteen gazillion dollars!"

  9. I'm sure this shit ain't gonna work very well.

    I always wished that there was a pill I could take, when leaving a bar @ 2:30am, to neutralize the alcohol. The closest I came to that pill was a bump of meth or a few lines of coke.

  10. I agree with you, Kenny, and I say that as a dude that drank myself into alcohol poisoning (non-fatal, obviously) twice--that I know of. If I bought it & drank it, don't try to cheat me out of my hard-earned intoxication.
    Of course, a couple of years ago my doc said that to increase my pain meds any would require going to either Dilaudid or Mepergan. I can't drive to customers' plants, or work, on those. When I was 20 or so, I would have given about anything to have a prescription for Ds or Meps.

    1. Tell me about it. I hardly ever drink anymore or take anything else that'll get me loaded. Just don't have any desire for it. I must be getting ready to die or something.

  11. And in no time the states will use the empty container as evidence against you.
