Actually, since nitrogen is naturally gaseous, it evaporates in a matter of seconds. What it does is it takes the energy (heat) from the drink which freezes it and then it becomes nitrogen gas. Even if nitrogen was toxic (which it's not), it's not even in the drink anymore. Ingesting liquid nitrogen by itself will kill you but that's because it will freeze your skin before it can even get down into your digestive system.

Here's a FACT for you: Most ice cream produced in large quantities is made using liquid nitrogen. Cool, huh?

nitrogen...is toxic? explain please. that whole...atmosphere with 80-some percent of it must be dangerous. I can see drinking it straight and the frostbite...perhaps the gaseous expansion 'clefting you in twain'...but toxic?
