The method and apparatus for the administration of alcohol to a person provides an alcohol “patch” in the form of an adhesive patch or bandage-like structure bearing a quantity of alcohol for transdermal delivery to the user. Permeation enhancers, either chemical or structural, may be included for increased efficacy of delivery of the alcohol to the user. The alcohol to be delivered via the inventive apparatus may be plain ethyl alcohol (ethanol) of any suitable concentration or proof. Alternatively, the alcohol may be in the form of various distilled or undistilled spirits.
