I don't recall that term, unless it was something used locally. Here, and
pretty much everywhere else, it was and is called huffing. And they usually
use a paper bag. Not a plastic one.

Incredibly, huffing is alive and well these days. My niece will find
her 30-something year old husband passed out in parking lots with
empty cans laying on the floor of their car or in their bedroom. The
guy looks like a regular Joe but this is his recreational drug of
choice. The practice makes binge drinking seem like a healthy
alternative.

That's really sad. I don't know anyone personally who does it. But I have
seen people doing it. One guy started freaking out and stuffing beauty bark
up his nose after he did it. No telling what he thought he was doing.
 
I hope your neice knows that substance abuse can affect his sperm
leading to lifelong abnormalities in any child he fathers.

When my daughter was in high school (1984-88) one of her classmates
was found dead in the parking lot after huffing from a can of car
air-conditioner freon refill. Frozen lungs doesn't sound like a fun
way to go. I understand it's the propellant in the can, not the
active material, that causes the high.

Huffing is mostly done by kids probably because they don't have easy
access to alcohol. OTOH, my guess is that adults will keep it a secret
because people their age just don't do that kind of stuff.

Nitrous oxide itself does not kill (nor does helium, though it's
alleged otherwise). It's the lack of oxygen that kills. Nitrous
oxide as anesthetic is mixed with oxygen. If it's mixed 50-50 with
room air, the user gets slighly less oxygen than is required to remain
conscious. Problems may follow...

My dentist was an early adopter of nitrous oxide.

He was very pragmatic about it's usage. Once the nasal breather was in
place he said "if you're in pain, turn this knob up. If you're too
dizzy, turn it down. I couldn't have been very accurate!

I wasn't even 10 years old and getting an incredible buzz on with that
stuff!!!

All he kept saying over and over was "open your mouth! More!"

After a while, further dental treatments reverted back to Novocain.

In college, at the dorms, students hosting nitrous oxide parties flew
balloons out of their dorm window. Get off the elevator, have a balloon
and take a seat.

About 10 years ago, five high school girls died just down the road,
huffing hairspray aerosol while driving. The driver was obviously not an
honor student. A tragic accident.

In my college days, one individual died from N20 inhalation. The
situation was fairly extreme however; they had a tank of 100% N20
and fell asleep with the hose in their mouth.

Gawd, that's awful! Apparently he has no idea how many brain cells he's
killing when he does this. Seriously.

Beer cans? It's really difficult to drink enough beer to make
oneself pass out. He could have some comorbidity such as a metabolic
problem.

In any case, he needs help, and probably your niece as well, who
might want to check out Al-Anon.

Sorry, there are kids. My wife's side of the family's genes tends to
foster addictive behavior. My sister-in-law's husband was pretty much a
user in his younger days although he's slowed down and paying for those
days of abuse. My niece just married a guy that was like her dad. That's
the breaks. About all one can do now is pray, I guess.
