The English are world renowned for their alcoholic consumption habits and the big number of bars and pubs. So, where else in the world could the crazy guys from Bompas and Parr launch their new great idea that revolutionizes the way we drink?

It is called Alcoholic Architecture, Metro reveals, and it is a temporary pop up bar in Soho, London's famous neighborhood. The special thing about it is that, there, you don't have to go to the bar and order one gin and tonic, because it is already in the air. This is actually a good solution for avoiding queues and the nice thing is that everyone will get equally drunk after spending more time inside. To avoid customers leaving the bar smelling like a brewery, they are given protective spatial-looking suits to put over their clothes. So, you don't have to worry about the outfit to wear when entering this new bar.

The gin and tonic vapors are part of a fresh concept developed by Bompas and Parr, called the “breathable cocktail,” and are created by an ultrasonic humidifier system. The inventors claim that it only takes up to 40 minutes to feel the alcohol, but anyway the sensation could disappoint the experienced drinker.

The bar decor enhances the experience, as it welcomes its guests with giant limes and massive straws, continuing the gin and tonic theme. And if you still don't feel like you're really drinking, the bar features a special soundtrack, with the sound of liquid being poured over ice cubes.

Being just an experimental bar, Alcoholic Architecture pop up bar is open April 16-18 and April 23-25, 2009, for two hours a day. Tickets must be booked ahead and are available for one hour of gin and tonic “inhaling.” One ticket costs just £5 (which is about $7.45).
