Mixing in oxygen means alcohol can skip the digestive tract, eliminating the need for the liver to process the drinks—and thus the chance of getting violently ill. AWOL’s users rave about hangover-free mornings, the carb-free intake of alcohol, and a stronger buzz, all for the price of $299 for the machine or $10 a shot at your local trendy...
