So I guess they're using encapsulation for the alcohol content.

How many packets can I add to my water, and can I make a drink which is 400 proof?

If you think airlines had problems with unruly & obnoxious drunks before, just wait till those boors start flying with a pocketful of these alcoholic fizzies...

Powdered alcohol always reminds me of a movie from 1966 staring Jerry Lewis called “Way... Way Out.” It’s about astronauts and the Russians have powdered Vodka.

The fascists approve this but cancer drugs for people who have a few months to live will have to wait another 10 years.

I see a line of 21 and over pixie sticks hitting the shelves within the next year, or fun dip.

Hoax - ethyl alcohol is a liquid. There is no way to de-liquefy, IJS!

[Jed Eckert]

A solution looking for a problem. It will be a fad for a short while until people figure out it will cost much more per drink than regular alcohol.

I agree with you, the guy must have figured out how to micro encapsulate the alcohol.

[I want the USA back]

Alcohol can’t be powdered. It’s little capsules that open when water is added. But for marketing purposes, “powdered alcohol” goes further.

How long before some sensation-seeking irresponsible idiot tries it without adding water first? Are the emergency rooms ready for this?

[Caipirabob]

Great, so within 30 seconds, college kids will be snorting this stuff.

The government will cry "Something has to be done" and within 24 hours the democrats will have a law demanding a 50% tax on alcohol.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Alcohol can be absorbed in cyclodextrines, a sugar derivate. In this way, encapsuled in small capsules, the fluid can be handled as a powder.

Yes, it is an encapsulation technique.

I got a package of powdered water, but I didn’t know what to add...

[LadyBuck]

Prepper PING!

Talk about a space saver!

[oldbrowser]

Can you smoke it or mix it with heroin and inject it?
I'm sure some one will find a way to misuse it.

I always wondered why you couldn’t make gelcaps with Everclear in them for people who want the effect but don’t like the taste.

Just pop them like a few NyQuil caplets and no one is the wiser. Thinking back I know there were a lot of girls who would have loved something like that.

The neat thing is that now homeless winos will have a use for their bodily fluids, and not spread them over every bus stop. . .

[Impy]

I’m surprised the government approved this, the company must have given enough campaign contributions to the right people.
