Best Answer

When you "huff" a substance, such as rubbing alcohol, you basically saturate a cloth with the substance, or fill a container with the substance, such as a plastic bag, or balloon. The object is to tightly fit the cloth or bag around your lips, so very little air escapes as you deeply inhale the fumes that are created by the substance. This can cause an intoxicating effect. It can be dangerous, and I would have to say, you should not attempt it.

Isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol, is often used in the home or in medical facilities to treat various conditions or to sterilize instruments and skin. However, if isopropyl alcohol is inhaled there can be serious side effects. Inhalation can cause a number of symptoms, including headaches, nausea, vomiting, irritation of the nose and mucous membranes, throat irritations, and even difficulty with breathing.
