Carbonating things with NO is not likely to be as good, unless you want
to carbonate whipped cream (or guiness - it uses a Nitrogen-based gas
instead of your standard CO2 I think that's why draught guiness comes out
differently to normally carbonated beers)
And yes, inhaling NO from bulbs is a short buzz, basically gained by
temporary suffocation - not very healthy. But they are readily available.
Best bet is still to use a soda siphon or to use a low-sugar fermenting
process, which will produce very low alcohol sodas. In australia, things
under something like 1% can be sold to minors at milk bars, etc, and are
probably not very good for getting drunk on. (As a minor I tried an
ice-distillation one some once. It was not a very successful exercise,
but that may have been the process. Anyway, to get an effect requires
drinking a LOT. Water drunk in similar quantities has a narcotic effect,
which works by diluting hormones in the blood or something.
