WEST MICHIGAN – Getting drunk off of a vodka-soaked tampon: it’s not necessarily a new trend, but one whose continuing popularity is still alarming to those who know the dangers.
It’s exactly how it sounds: girls soak tampons in alcohol, typically vodka, and insert them into their vaginas, but it isn’t only girls doing it. Boys are also taking part in this alarming trend.
A quick search on YouTube shows it’s more common than many would think.
Sarah Gibney and Briana Pattinson are in college now and aren’t afraid to talk about what they witnessed in high school.
“I know a lot of kids in high school who did it. They would do it in football games, and in class and stuff, so no one would smell their bottle or catch them drinking,” Gibney said.
Doctors say it’s more dangerous than people think. According to Dr. Marianne Chai, a child adolescent psychiatrist, participants get intoxicated a lot faster because it gets absorbed directly into their blood stream.
Dr. Chai said there’s also no way to get rid of the alcohol once it’s absorbed. Because it’s never been in your stomach, vomiting isn’t going to help.

This is a sad journalism fail. A quick google search and two minutes online shows that this is an urban myth that's been around since at least the last decade. Did anybody fact check this before airing it? Makes Fox 17 look silly reporting nonsense like this:

Nope
They have girl witnesses! Who would NEVER want to get on TV or anything!

Reporting urban legends? Seriously? Do you even bother to check and make sure what you’re ‘reporting’ is a real thing?
Think about this for a second…have you ever seen a soaked tampon? You can’t insert that into yourself. And they’re made to absorb liquid, not release it. How much could actually get in to your system that way? And how much could the tampon actually absorb? The higest absorbancy made (which I’ve never seen in stores, by the way) is made to hold 18 grams of liquid- not even an ounce. The highest absorbancy that’s usually in stores is rated for 15 grams. Not enough to do much even if it did magically squeeze it out into your body.
And that’s ignoring the fact that alcohol taken that way would be very irritating if not actually painful.
If you’re going to call yourself ‘news’, please at least try to report things that actually happen.
