Named Alcoholic Architecture, the bar from Bompas & Parr is defined by its signature cocktail: an aerosolized cloud of alcohol that patrons start breathing as soon as they walk through the door.

Located next to the UK’s earliest Gothic cathedral, and on the site of an ancient monastery, Alcoholic Architecture’s conventional cocktail list sticks to a monastic theme: Benedictine, Chartreuse, Trappist beer, mead, and Buckfast, which Bompas describes as “a fortified wine so savage that Scotland’s Parliament is reportedly drafting legislation to stop the caffeinated intoxicant from entering their country.”

But the star of the show is actually invisible: the alcoholic miasma that permeates every breathable inch of the bar. A 1:3 ratio combination of spirits and mixers that has been aerosolized, the breathable brew is so potent that imbibers need to actually don special protective suits, to limit how much skin (and, more specifically, mucus membranes) are exposed to it.

It’s apparently pretty heady stuff, which will get you drunk 40 per cent quicker than drinking the same mixture in liquid form. And for boozy dieters, great news: that 40 per cent reduction also applies to the calories you’re ingesting.
