Bacardi 151 through the nose, sore throat and nasal passage?

Question

i was at the bar last night and we ended up drinking quite a bit, i took another shot of 151 and i accidently had a little go up into my nose

the burning sensation was killing me for about 2 hours, regardless of how many glasses of water i drank. i even tried snorting water through my nose more than a couple times, trying to rinse it out and this ended up helping a bit but not much.

either way, its now over 12 hours later and i could barely sleep last night because of my sore nasal passage and throat. i dont know what to do as i cant find anything online for such a problem. if any of you could help me out with what i should do for my nasal passage then i would appreciate it a lot, thanks

Answer 1

Short answer - that was stupid.

Your nose is filled with really sensitive nerve endings and surface blood vessels.  That's why snorting drugs works so quickly.

Alcohol kills all living cells.  151 is mostly alcohol (more than 75%.)  You burnt the 1 cell thick skin in your nose, slaughtered millions of nerve cells and probably closed down several meters of capillaries.  

It will all heal.  First the skin, then the capillaries, then the nerve endings.  While this is going on, it will hurt.  Drink water.  Do not use nasal spray.  Sleep.  Eat healthily.  If it still hurts after a few days, see a doctor.

And next time - aim the shot better.
