Here comes powdered alcohol (1 Viewer)

Freeze-dried, powdered alcohol has been approved by federal regulators, meaning the controversial novelty — once called “the Kool-Aid of teen binge drinking” — could hit liquor-store shelves across the country by the summer.

The product, dubbed Palcohol, was given the go-ahead on Tuesday by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau almost a year after it backtracked on its previous authorization, saying the label approvals had been issued in error.

Bureau spokesman Tom Hogue told the Associated Press on Wednesday that all issues had been resolved, giving a small Arizona-based company the green light to roll out four ready-made beverages: cosmopolitans, margaritas, a vodka and a rum. The company said a lemon drop drink should be “approved shortly.”

The company, Lipsmark, will sell the booze in foil pouches that double as the glass. Consumers need only to pour in 5 ounces of water, zip up the bag and shake until the powder dissolves. But the company’s creation has kicked up a controversy in several states where some lawmakers argue the product’s inevitable dangers aren’t worth the risk.

From WWTDD:

"The FDA has approved a product called Palcahol for sale in the U.S. It is a powdered alcohol you can mix with water and promptly have the time of your life or die trying. The products approved are a cosmopolitan, margarita, vodka, and rum. Several states are concerned about Palcahol being abused because of the obvious widespread teenage snorting trend that will make 20/20 for a month of sweep weeks. More so than the unavoidable deaths I think their main issue is the tax revenue which will be lost when every Buffalo Bills fan is packing the equivalent of a pallet of Fleischmann’s into the stadium in compression shorts. The company’s founder Mark Phillips claims he invented it so he could enjoy a cocktail after hiking or other outdoor activities without having to carry jugs of liquor around. Another interesting thing about Phillips is he’s a ####### liar. Imagine the stadium brawls. The airplane seizures. The prison riots. The fact there will no longer be a sober juror in this country. So many possibilities. Thanks Mark. Yes, I’m obviously trying this."

 
Really like this for travel purposes. Airports nowadays go out of their way to make it difficult to have a drink before your flight.

Yeah, a bar/restaurant every 100 yards in most airports makes it really tough

I want to drink at my gate, not pay $14 for cheap wine and not have to finish drinking at 7PM cause the bar is closing.

Well, enjoy the powdered alcohol at the gate, I'm sure it will taste like top shelf liquor.

We'll see who's laughing at who when I'm drinking a killer Blue Hawaiian while the plane is taxi-ing.
