Why would you breathe through your left nostril and not your right?

Either nostril can become blocked by mucus or swelling of the nasal lining. In some cases, the pathway to the nasal turbinates (rear passages) can become closed and result in only one nostril bringing air in.
You could try saline spray (non-irritating) or see your doctor about using decongestants or other treatments to enable both sides of the nose to take in air. Rarely, this could require medication to reduce thickening of the turbinate walls.

What is the order of structures that carbon dioxide passes though between your nose and bloodstream?
Carbon dioxide does no pass from the nose to the blood stream. CO2 is a toxin which can cause the body significant harm and so to take it in from the air would be very counterproductive. It is realeased from the blood stream through the cappillariy endothelial cell, interstitial fluid and finally alveaolar cell into the lumen (space inside) of the lung. From the alvelus it passes through the bronchiole into the bronchiolar tree until it reaches the primary bronchus. From here the CO2 passes into the trachea then the through the larynx into the pharynx and finally into the nasal cavity and out through the nostril.
What is the quickest way to get pissed?
A male friend tells me the quickest way to get pissed is to buy a short and put a straw in the glass and breathe the drink in through your nostril, he says you get the "freeze brain" effect, whatever this means. But why would anyone want to do this that was in their right mind, or get pissed quickly.
Why do we need 2 nostrils?
So that we can get more oxygen in our body and more carbon dioxide out of our body. The reason is air filtration. Each nostril has hunderds of hairs and mucous to trap particulate in the air. One nostril would be less effective at trapping since there would be more air traveling through the nostril that would not come into contact with hairs/ nostril lining which has mucous.

No. Crying/talking/singing/making oral noises in general are all produced by taking in air and then letting it out past your vocal cords. Fetuses do not breathe. If they did, they would breathe amniotic fluid right into their lungs. They don't need to breathe because they get oxygenated blood through the umbilical cord.
