That is just insane. What if you're wearing contact lenses? I bet it stings like crazy.

This is nuts!! I also believe in the axiom: "No Brains, No Pain"!

I don't see how pouring cheap alcohol directly onto your optic nerve could cause any harm...

[Crashoran]

Let them do this, and maybe this will fade all the stupid people out of existence.

What ever happened to the good ole days of Brandy Enema's. Life was good then.

[Dobick]

how about just drinking the stuff????

Seriously -- how bad of a problem do you have to have to want to pour alcohol into your eye!

Surely this can't be that widespread of a problem? Kids aren't that stupid are they?

Unfortunately, nowadays, many are that stupid. Sad but true.

God bless Darwin.

Problem is -- I didn't read anything about this being fatal, so no Darwin award on this one. They'll just be a blind and stupid burden on society for the rest of their pathetic life.

I know that by the time I turned 30, I looked back at all the things I did that should have killed me and thought about how lucky I was, but man -- this is a different level of stupid.

I am scared to ask! Rich did this really happen? The visual is too much.

Vodka in your eye I bet this only happens once.

Vodka is an acid with a PH of about 6.o. Normal eye ph is 7.0-7.3 which results in a chemical burn of the eye and possibly the cornea. since it is an acid the damage is not as severe as it would be if it were a base solution. Most of the damage would be limited to the front of the eye. Since the acid solution is fairly close to normal ph it would hurt like hell. treatment would involve placing a hard morgan lense within the eye lid and irrigating with normal saline until the eye ph returns to 7.0. this would take at least 1 if not 2 liters of room tempurature saline and would take about 2 hours and costs alot insured or not. Not to mention the pain involved and the possibility of cataracts later and scaring of the cornea.

I remember in my early college days it was cool to set your flatus on fire with a lighter.

Yeah, no big deal. Most people have two eyes...they're just using their spare.

I believe that whoever is doing this is already very intoxicated so doesn't feal any burning sensation, wonder what Everclear would do?
