ahhh...but there's a remedy!

put a shot of sambuca in a small brandy sniffer. light the shot and QUICKLY cover the class with an open palm (you may consider wetting your palm to cut down on the skin burns). the flame consumes the oxygen in the glass and your palm remains stuck to the glass. when you're ready, open your palm such that you can snort the fumes, then drink the shot right away! nothing ghey about it...
