I'm seriously curious here...

Does the oxygen get you high or something?

I understand the medical application when circumstances warrant use of higher O2 concentrations, just not the benefit of recreational use.

I'm giving this a nudge over to the 2017 Camps & Villages board, since that's a better fit.

If you are seriously hung-over, 5-10 minutes on an O2 feed can make the brass band with kettle drums between your ears diminish considerably. The effect is semi-persistent. Once things quiet down a bit, as long as you are resting and hydrating, the effects are noticable for an hour or two.

I've been toying with the idea of doing a helium bong at our bar.

Helium will not leave any trace once 'used'. :(

Would oxygen not cure the altitude sickness some experience?

Dammit, wish I knew that back in the day when I was a heavy drinker.

Ooh, I just love it when events do not preclude lethal outcomes.
