Company in US Launches New Powdered Alcohol

Palcohol, who are a US-based company are due to launch their new powdered alcohol range later this year, Their powdered range currently consists off both vodka & rum varieties.

Their website recommends that you dilute the powders in water or flavoured mixers, However comments already left on the internet suggest that 95 per cent of users will insist on trying to snort it, or rub it in their gums to get it in to their bloodstreams quicker. Palcohol have responded saying that "it would be painful to snort due to the alcohol and that it would take 60 minutes to snort the equivalent of one shot of vodka, why would people do that when they can so a real shot in 2 seconds"

Palcohol say that it will be available ‘in the United States and abroad’. Naturally, there’s been lots of opposition against the product – with anti-alcohol campaigners suggesting it’ll make alcohol more available to minors as well as making drink-spiking more common. Palcohol say that "the powder does not dissolve instantly and would take over a minute of stirring to dissolve the equivalent of one shot of alcohol in to a drink, making these claims unfounded".
