A hyperbaric social establishment or residence consists of a social establishment or residence that maintains a hyperbaric atmosphere in which the clientele or residents are immersed. The breathable atmosphere of the establishment is pressurized above standard atmospheric pressure and the ratios of constituent gases are controlled so that the partial pressure of oxygen and the remaining gases are controlled at levels not considered to have any unacceptable long term harmful effects on humans. This establishment or residence is intended to offer to the public a means of obtaining a temporary alcohol-like effect using a pressurized breathable atmosphere instead of alcohol. This temporary inebriating effect is superior to alcohol as it eliminates a hangover, liver and brain damage, and personal and legal complications associated with alcohol or drug use. It is also intended for the comfort of people who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
