Dec 1 2009Great News: Vodka Soon Available As Pill

Because there's nothing safer than mixing vodka and pills (or heavy machinery), the Ruskie imbibeable (word wizardry!) may soon be available in powdered/pill form. Look out, Pixie Stix! (Picture unrelated, liquid vodka in gel-tabs).

Russian professor Evgeny Moskalev of Saint Petersburg Technological University has evolved a technique that allows turning alcohol into powder and packing it in pills.


"Dry" vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when "consumers" would be able to calculate their exact required dosage.

"...Calculate the exact required dosage"? For what -- puking on your shoes? No, I find this whole story a little suspect seeing how I already reported on powdered alcohol BACK IN APRIL. So, who really invented it, Mr. Evgeny Moskalev Cocktail?! It was God! Make it rain, big man, make it rain. Booze plague! Slip 'n Slide!

Now, vodka that comes in a pill [timesofindia]

Thanks to Sasha, who once licked dry booze straight from the proverbial powdered alcohol cow's teat.

I've been waiting for an easier way to ingest my liquor rectally.

@1 see tag "just soak a suppository in vodka alread'y"

Geekologie: Number 1 "dry" alcohol consumer base?

does that mean you can crush them up and snort?

Makes me think of the woman who killed her husband with a sherry enema in 2005.... just sayin

Everyone knows alcohol tastes like shit. This could very well be the solution.

Also, in advance to everyone who's going to say "alcohol is awesome, I love drinking alcohol and also the taste because I'm so manly and excellent":

Stop lying to yourself. I've seen your faces when you take a shot, and it's a face that says "this tastes like fermented cat's piss", not "yummy!".

Word.

Wait, why is that quoted twice in a row? Wait, why is that quoted twice in a row?

ew, also: makes it easier to daterape. which, fyi, I would never do. ladies?

@6 I'd kinda disagree on some levels, for example coffee tastes like shit but eventually you get a taste for it. I wouldn't say drinking is awesome but you would eventually get used to the taste. Shots tend to taste like crap though :-P

YEEESS! I am right there with you Hayley.. as much as I love to drink, I *hate* the taste of alcohol, and have been saying for years that I'd like the option of getting drunk without actually having to taste the liquor! Wheeee! :D

FINALLY! Science put to good use.

so what you're saying is

"Dry" vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when "consumers" would be able to calculate their exact required dosage.

just trying to get that clear

Also would be good for when you're out at a bar/ house party etc and you start to lose the buzz. However, your THIRST IS QUENCHED. Srsly. GTFO with that cup full of what might be bin juice.

Answer: TASTELESS, LIQUIDLESS AWESOME.


@ 9: Coffee doesn't taste bad. Coffee is the elixir of life. Alcohol is its antithesis.

WEAK!!!!

WTF is wrong with the way vodka is ingested in my stomach right now as I drown my orange juice with it this morning? IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT

..on the other hand, these would be great for a day of jury duty so maybe it's not such a bad idea afterall

Easy to slip into Granny's daily pile of vitamins! Sit back and watch the fun!!

@6 True that liquor is pretty harsh, but people do acquire a tast for alcohol.
No one likes beer when they first start drinking.... but over time, you do acquire a taste for it.... I know after a long hot day, there is nothing like a bottle of cold, crisp, refreshing Yeungling Lager...... just sayin

@6 sounds like you hang with a bunch of lightweights, only amateurs make puckerface after drinking liquor that's apparently too strong for them.

I can see a prairie fire (tequila & tabasco sauce) being a little gross, like a dirty martini - - but there are a lot of tasty shots out there believe me


Crazy! Wonder what the powder tastes like? This could make alcohol poisoning SO MUCH EASIER!

Would you like some birthday cake? I made it special just for you....

@17 thats not as bad as a 'sweaty mexican' (tequila, tobasco sauce & a dollop of mayonaise)..... just sayin

Oh and if you want to get drunk without the liquor just take GHB silly!

@19 are you sure that's an actual drink, or a prank? hooorrrrff
@20 good point, hate watching ppl 'gee -out' though

How about a "mexi-rape"? Tequila, tobasco sauce, 2 teaspoons GHB, & a dollop of..... just sayin.


Or a "rape me". Midori and 5 tsp GHB.

I feel a theme party coming on!!!

@21 its more of a shot you buy someone on their 21st bday.... ya know, like a cement mixer...... just sayin

Cause taking drugs/drinking in high school wasn't easy enough....
Vodka Pills! Forget the struggle of carrying around a travel mug filled with delicious booze, and still maintain that heavy buzz! Never be sober again!

Sign. Me. Up. ^_^.\/.

@15 that reminded me of the time my grandmother came
to my house a few years ago and started pissing me off..
I told her to calm down or her blood-pressure would sky-rocket..
Then I gave her a zanex..
I watched her sit at my table a go through her purse for 2
hours while talking to herself...
Good times..

I can't wait till I can snort some vodka! Nothing like getting drunk the same way you get high. C'mon and bring it ruskies!

In Soviet Russia, vodka imbibes you.

@6 booze that tastes good

1. Beer (providing it's not some horrible french brew or something).
2. White russian (and black, but I prefer white. Also, yes it's a cocktail. IT'S STILL BOOZE).
3. Jager(bombs = excellent, but solo is nice too).
4. Magners (blumers) and certain other ciders.
5. Poof juice (alcopops, although I don't).
6. The E=MC squared (especially my home brew, see link. I'm the one who looks sweaty and has shitloads of hair. It was good booze, even if it looks queer).
7. Absinthe. Never had the real stuff though, only the 95% style evil stuff. Tasty, if you don't mind drinking paint thinner.

I wonder if these will make me feel less or more like an alcoholic?

I could always split it...take the first three shots in pill form, then once I work up a healthy buzz, turn back to the vodka. Hmmmm.

grabbin peelz

I hope they invent Gin versions of those pills, that would be proper!

you cant make powdered vodka because alcohol evaporates morons!!!

But when can you get BACON vodka in powdered form?

It's good idea to make such pills, but it's much better to drink liquid vodka!
Vodka is delicious!
