    		Only if you're in the habit of imbibing while bathing:

    Alcohol cannot be absorbed into the body by inhaling of its vapours or by absorbing it through the skin.

    		Thanks, Zb. According to that article, "Much of the alcohol is absorbed into the blood through the soft mucous lining of the mouth and from the stomach: the rest is absorbed through the walls of the small intestine." So, the winetasters who taste and spit are still absorbing some alcohol...

    Interesting machine, serpa... wow, no hangover and no upset stomach?!
