I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? (sh.itjust.works)

It’s capillary action. It just rams straight into your bloodstream, no dilution or waiting to go through stomach. It’s fast and effective.

Plus the excitement of risking an overdose!

So, as it doesn’t go through the stomach, do you not puke if you’re experiencing alcohol poisoning?

I'm sure you'd still puke as it's nausea that makes you vomit not alcohol sitting in your stomach.

This is mostly it. Though, you’re able to expel alcohol if it’s still in your stomach.
