nuckin_futz Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Powdered Alcohol Has Arrived For those of us who despaired when Vaportinis, the device that allowed you to inhale a shot of alcohol, were scheduled to be banned in Maryland, have no fear, the alternative is here! Palcohol, the powdered version of alcohol, has arrived on the market to give Kool Aid a run for its money. No more powdered lemonade for you adults – you can mix yourself a real drink now. The best part? It’s been approved. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), has already given the green light to seven different varieties of Palcohol, including the “cosmopolitan,” “lemondrop,” and “powderita” flavors. The powder packs come with instructions that inform users to just add water or mixers for an “instant cocktail.” Happy birthday to me! If obtaining alcohol was too troublesome before, Palcohol has certainly swooped in to save the day. Gone are the days of lugging around heavy bottles and cumbersome packs of alcohol. Now, all one needs for a boozy drink is a bit of water and some alcohol powder. It is unclear how exactly the product made it past federal regulations, especially considering the fate of the equally frightening-sounding Vaportinis. Palcohol is directly targeting sporting events and concert audiences, assuring potential users that there is nothing worse than watching football or a live music event sober. What, after all, is football without alcohol? Says Palcohol: Maybe you’re a college football fan. So many stadiums don’t even serve alcohol. What’s that about; watching football without drinking?! That’s almost criminal. Bring Palcohol in and enjoy the game. What’s worse than going to a concert, sporting event, etc. and having to pay $10, $15, $20 for a mixed drink with tax and tip. Are you kidding me?! Take Palcohol into the venue and enjoy a mixed drink for a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That sounds absolutely disgusting. Will be interesting to see what the effects are from some idiot deciding to snort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 That sounds absolutely disgusting. Will be interesting to see what the effects are from some idiot deciding to snort it. Already covered on the Palcohol website. "11. Can I snort it? We have seen comments about goofballs wanting to snort it. Don't do it! It is not a responsible or smart way to use the product. To take precautions against this action, we've added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose. You would feel all pain for little gain. Just use it the right way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux4lyfe Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Palcohol offers a cheap (and potentially dangerous) alternative to traditional, more expensive drinks that one would normally order. Whoa, what? someone take my drink away from me, I think I'm drunk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Strangelove Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That sounds absolutely disgusting. Will be interesting to see what the effects are from some idiot deciding to snort it.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 As a former purveyor of fine spirits, beers and wines this to me is pathetic.

SRSLY GTFO ! lol From my experience with powered drinks whether it be meal replacements or powered gatorade, its never the same... I could see people abusing this hard. Like mixing it with drugs and just watch we could have a epidemic of abuse. Also regulating would seem difficult since its in powered form. Ziploc will be making a lot of money...

Jägermeister Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The concept makes sense, probably a decent market for people wanting to bring booze into places you aren't allowed to bring booze in to, but it must be terrible going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why not take a ketamine? Then you can be crapfaced drunk and on acid. This pill has the potential to make barbiturates seem not so bad after all.
