Checked out
They use nitrogen to pump the stuff from a huge vat in the basement. Makes it carbonated with laughing gas. That's why it works so efficiently.
The increased carbonation itself causes an increased effect on delivering the alcohol content to the bloodstream quicker. Rexall draft is extremely carbonated. They can hardly tap it without enormous amounts of foam coming out. First thing I notice is excessive carbonated foam. Second thing I notice is excessive carbonation bubbling.
Heres a link that explains a bit more:

If Nitrogen is used to pump the beer this would certainly have an effect as well.

So there, in a nutshell, is "heroine beer" explained.
I'll add something here to. The beer could be watered down and still have enough alcohol content to create a quick buzz with the added effects of over carbonation and added nitrogen. In fact they may find it prudent to water it down so that the effect of said beer is somewhat consistent with normal beer. Such beer should be metabolized quicker as it does hit the bloodstream much quicker.
