Yeh anything that touches your skin will be absorbed, If you put a clove of garlic in a rubber glove on your hand, you will have it on your breath in about 30 minutes. Fresh shouldn’t get you high as far as I know, drunk yes, especcially if you lick your fingers, but not high.
I do airbrush art work, and had a go at painting a cake, you reduce the thick food colouring with vodka as it has no smell. Normally I would spray any unused colour into a rag when painting, but I did not want to waste the vodka, so I sprayed it in my mouth. Big mistake, finely atomized alcohol gets straight into the brain via mouth absorption, I was drunk before I finished the cake lol.
