Powdered alcohol is here.

How would they even schedule it? They're have to schedule the binding agent, I would think.

Perhaps the DEA wouldn't be involved at all.

Maybe the ATF would ban booze in the form of "powdered alcohol" and probably be tasked with enforcing the ban as well.

Or... lots of people may die and the lawmakers might look the other way (for a certain amount of time at least).

We'll see...

I would not be surprised if this stuff ends up causing an epidemic of alcohol overdoses and deaths, and if people begin experimenting with it as if it's cocaine (snorting, skin-popping, IVing) - with fatal consequences.

If this does end up happening, I also wouldn't expect the DEA to emergency schedule it.

I agree

You need like 70 grams to make a 3% beverage... I kind of doubt anyone is going to die. It's just not going to sell well, at all. It's a novelty, nothing more.

where are you getting this number from?
 
yeah that's if you snort it though

see you there

More details on dosage:

From the page linked, Palcohol is 58% ethanol by weight.

In the United States, one drink contains approximately 1.5 ounces of 40% ethanol. This would be 18 mL of ethanol.

Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/mL, so one drink would contain 14 g of alcohol.

Therefore, one drink's worth of Palcohol would contain 24 g of powder.
 
yeah but thats for a normal drink, not something with 3% alcohol in it.

I'm the first to admit I fucking suck at math so youre probably right there I just dont know about what Folley said

also they have higher percentages for different powders it seems

100ml is about two shots, what are you expecting from a single packet exactly?

and a bottle (750 ml) is about 15 shots just for the record
 
From the wiki

In Germany a product called Subyou reportedly was or is distributed on the Internet. The product was available in four flavours and packed in 65-, or possibly 100-gram, sachets. When mixed with 0.25 litres of water it gives a drink with 4.8% alcohol. It was assumed a German producer manufactured the alcopop powder based on imported raw alcohol powder from the US

There is also another version that is 20 grams for a 3% beverage, but still.... that's a fucking LOT for something about as strong as a mike's light lemonade.
 
you know what fuck the metric system and fuck converting from normal measurements to liquid measurements, I seriously cant do math

no way do they release something that is basically a light beer in a package though

I'll keep an ear out for this stuff
 
I don't think percentage is a reasonable way to discuss the measurements. If you take the same amount of powder and mix it with different amounts of water, the resulting alcohol percentage will vary. The real question is how much powder equals what is considered a standard alcoholic drink (1 shot of liquor, glass of wine, or can of beer).
 
In the German case the percentage is helpful as it lets us work out an equation for the strength. If you assume that they are 65 gram packets they'd have 3.12 grams of alcohol.... I just checked and the "standard drink" in the US is 14 grams of alcohol. So basically it is an EXTREMELY light beer. It would need to be diluted down quite a bit as well, so there's pretty much no way you could do shots of powdered ethanol.


There are other products with 20 gram packs, so assuming they're the same strength or higher this would be a little more feasible but it still seems to me like it would taste like shit.
 
it just doesnt add up though. why go through the trouble of putting it into a powder if its not even potent?
 
pretty sure youd get just as much publicity by making it potent though

people also sniff glue

who is...Charles Darwin?
