Vapshot, the maker of a new system that can produce vaporized alcohol shots, is causing quite a buzz in bars and clubs with its new technology. For the first time in history, people are throwing back shots of vapor, not liquid, down their throats to consume their favorite alcoholic drinks, and the benefits are potentially game-changing:

• It has 1/60th of the calories of a normal shot.

• It provides an instant, long-lasting buzz.

• It might be safer to consume–i.e. less of the negative effects caused by liquid alcohol, fewer cases of drunk driving. (More on the safety factor in a moment.)

• It retains the same delicious flavor of the drink that has been vaporized.

Vapshot is only a few years old, founded in 2014. And the man behind it, and story of how the company started, is just as interesting as the product itself.
