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!

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.

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?

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.

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...

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. . .

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