3:49Now Playing"Alcoholic Architecture” is a breathable bar in London, where you don’t drink your cocktail but inhale it. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?), Rob Huebel hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

"It creeps up on you slowly; that dry, back of the throat, fruity flavor. Within minutes you start to feel the warm sensation of liquor relaxing every limb -- except in this case, you haven't even had a drink.
"It's ingested through the lungs and eyeballs," explains Sam Bompas, my host and co-designer of London's first breathable cocktail cloud bar, aptly called "Alcoholic Architecture."
He hands me a regular cocktail and we delve deeper into the sweet-tasting haze, shuffling around other guests also dressed in hooded raincoats -- worn to prevent our clothes smelling like the boozy fog enveloping us.
The hoods only add to the conspiratorial effect of wandering around a damp basement situated on the site of a former monastery.
Even the names of the drinkable cocktails also on offer -- I'm sipping a "Friar Tucker" -- take inspiration from the monks who created exotic liquors here centuries ago.
In 2015 the boundaries of booze are reimagined once again; this time by vaporizing spirits and mixer at a ratio of 1:3, creating a breathable mist so thick you can barely seen more than a meter in front of you."
