How about booze breathing?

If having after work drinks in a mist of alcohol sounds appealing to you, you still have a few months left to enjoy it at the Alcoholic Architecture, in London.

Drinking alcohol is so July 2015. Thanks to Bompas & Parr with one of their most recent project, the Alcoholic Architecture, there's a new way to absorb booze. This intriguing pop-up bar opened its doors two weeks ago on Borough Market. Located in a Victorian building next to the Southwark Cathedral, the installation already made a huge buzz because hanging out in a cocktail walk-in cloud is far from being ordinary.

Bompas & Parr is a regular designer of such creative events, all food, drinks, tasting oriented. It all started with jelly sculptures (kind of) and soon expanded to weird, inventive and original experimentations such as cooking with lava or anatomical whisky testing. The Alcoholic Architecture is one of their latest productions. As Sam Bompas describes it: "Creatively the installation draws inspiration from Borough Market’s produce, medieval history and weather to create a sci-fi fantasy where meteorology and mixology collide."

Breathing booze is made possible by using high-power humidifiers, providing a 140 per cent humidity level. So you're not only inhaling vapours of alcohol, you're also absorbing it through your skin and your eyeballs. The Alcoholic Architecture gives you plastic ponchos to protect your clothes and, because getting drunk is far faster that way, limits the experience to 50 minutes, for £10 (£12.50 after 6pm). The vapour bar installation opened on July 31 and will last until next January.
