Palcohol: Arizona company's powdered alcohol approved
 

Craving a cosmopolitan or quick margarita? Soon, that liquid fix will only be a packet away now that the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has approved Palcohol, a form of powdered alcohol.

"It sounds good ... sounds like easy access ... sounds pretty good right now," said Phoenix resident Craig Jackson when asked whether he would buy the product.

Convenience is exactly what led the Phoenix-based company to come up with the product.

A YouTube video, posted by the company creator Mark Phillips, explains what first sparked the idea.

"When I hike, kayak, backpack or whatever, I like to have a drink when I reach my destination. And carrying liquid alcohol and mixers to make a margarita for instance was totally impractical," Phillips said. "So that's why I created Palcohol."

The recipe for a drink is pretty simple. One packet equals one shot. You pour the contents into 6 ounces of water and stir.

I've been watching this and was wondering if it was going to be made legal. I see no reason why it shouldn't.

This makes no sense to me. One way or anther you need to carry water with you so.... Now you have to carry water AND these packets?

or carry a water filter? :thumbsup

id mix them and have them in a mini ice chest

I would just mix the real thing then. But that's me.

me? id just take beer and sum jd :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Some concern was raised over the ease of overdosing on these things. Also makes it easy to snort or spike drinks with it. I personally can't wait to see some dumb kids doing the palcohol YouTube challenge videos. How many packets of alcohol can little Johnny stuff in his mouth?

thats old skool! :helpme they shove it up their ass :Oh crap :( no joke it's a faster rush

So this guy goes hiking, possibly a mountain, and wants to celebrate with a margarita at the end.

Am I the only one thinking this is not the greatest idea?

How can you powder alcohol? I'd like to see the ingredients of that powder.

Switchin to this from 40 oz, mr. b snitchin? :winkwink:

Seems like a pretty easy way to over do it, by putting in too many packets. I guess its all about learning your limits. Cool idea.

why are you always trying to start something? are you that lonely???

mix that shit with some junk,
go behind the garage and fire it up!

Dump a bunch into a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 and let the party start.

Same as powdered water.

:1orglaugh

i cant a4d 2 kayak... :(

Sounds like they already tried it

Anyone who camps for more than 3-4 days (not car camping) does not bring water. They bring a filter.

Been using this one for years, it rocks.
