Why do ye think homebrewers get 5kg ones?

To carbonate beer?

Temporary asphyxiation?
I remember lads doing this at school. Take a deep breath, hold it, someone pushes you against a wall.
Much cheaper.
Kids these days!

Didn't hear that, but have heard that young people are using cream whipper bulbs (nitrous oxide) in order to get a buzz. @johnrm I remember doing that too! Only worked "properly" once, chap blacked out completely and burst his head on the ground.

Like what happens with booze?! Not having a go but questioning your position on what is socially acceptable an what's not. Young people will always be ahead of the posse when it comes to getting cheap thrills. In my day, (best part of 20 years ago) it was gas for lighters that was the cheap buzz of choice.

I'm also an amadán that clogs up A&E cause I'm shit at DIY. Plenty of us up in Wexford General last time I was there, along with multiple GAA/rugby/soccer related injuries.
