Apr 28 2009They'll Never Find It!: Powdered Alcohol

powdered alcohol.jpg

I've known about powdered alcohol for a while now because I remember reading an article about powdered wine being available to campers (also great for water into wine tricks!). *HORF* Just kidding, I'd totally drink it. But now it's hitting the mainstream, and soon you'll see powdered alcohol mixes popping up everywhere (read: your teen's bookbag).

No word on price or availability just yet, but rest assured they'll be a ton of companies jumping on the 'sneaking alcohol into church/school' bandwagon. Which, honestly, I've been doing for years. Now I know what you're thinking, "But how, Mr. Geekologie Writer?" And the answer to that, my disciple, is in my stomach. In a tied-off balloon. Next to all the coke.

Good idea and FAIL at the same time...

nice, third. hey maybe i can mix it with some grapefruit juice...?
UPDATE: IT BUUUUURRRNNNSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of the first date with this girl, I was really nervous and I snorted a bunch of alcohol and got waay to drunk. I totally sneezed chunks all over as we were about to kiss. Totally embarrassing.

i can see the kids downtown snorting alcohol now :)

fourfths

my bad. fifths and sixths

Terrible, why would anyone want to concentrate alcohol when it goes down as a liquid just fine? The only exception would be powdering bacon vodka, just because of the countless things you can do with powdered bacon☺

Typo! duplication :D

on price on price

Maybe my college chemistry is failing me here... But how do you get powdered alcohol? If you heat it, it evaporates. If you let it sit out, it evaporates. I imagine the only way to do it would be a similar way to making crystal meth.

So... anyone up for freebasing some booze?

Since when has it been a chore to smuggle booze into church or school? It's called "fill a water bottle with gin."

I agree with #9. This seems to fail at basic chemistry. Kinda like powdered water. Just doesn't make sense. I will investigate!

let me just say one thing: drinking is a hassle. you have to go out and spend like 10 bucks on some shit you chug for about ten minutes straight while if you smoke its so much easier and quiker. why consume so much when you can use so little...LEGALLIZE IT!!!!

oh....and #9....count me in:P

UPDATE: Dear sweet Lord! IT'S REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember reading something about a Japanese company dropping it from like 50 feet up and it dries on the way down. I would so snort a line of powdered vodka!

Well that last site seems less promising, but it's weird that they can only make 3% alcohol with it... You'd figure that the concentration would be higher. Maybe they are doing something along the lines of dehydrating a malt-liquor, which holds on to more of the alcohol than trying to make a powder form of pure ethyl-alcohol? Still sounds pretty weird to me.. I'll opt for a good ol' handle of the pure stuff any day. Fill one of those Camel Paks with vodka and no one's the wiser.

Oh and @15: You're an idiot.

Oops! I'm retarded. The GW already had that link. On a side note, I like cold beverages.

With everything popping up these days you people doubt they can do this? Psh...now powdered swords, that's a doozy.

alcohol frosted cornflakes ... the breakfast of champions

@ 5 and 6 after 3 you don't matter, just like in life you don't matter.

Powdered Bacon!! Mmmmmmmmmmm

i see this being pulled immediately for kids overdosing on this stuff by over concentrating it adding 3 or 5 timesthe powder to a single serving

fill a flask 3/4 with just powder, add vodka or whisky...shake....consume....die

and of course the obvious dangers of the inevitable fad of snrting the stuff... when i was in gradeschool, it was snorting lemon kool-aid, fun dip, and pixie stix and laughing atthe idiots for burning their noses

@7 id imagine the purpose is cost in transport

its mostl likely very easy to transport this as a non liquid. its not as fragile, uses smaller containers, considering the weight of a liquid vs a powder, you can get a TON more in a shipping container atthe same weight

...and by a ton more i mean a ton of powder makes more than a ton of liquid

Powdered alcohol ... as opposed to just putting some in a travel mug with Sprite and bringing it to class...?

I see this being snuck into football games where they dont allow you to bring your own alcohol in ir similar places and events.

Fair enough, ok. ...and by ok I mean that's a damn fine point other than the fact that a ton of anything is still a ton.

...and by a ton of anything I mean a ton of bacon will surely kill anyone trying to consume it in less than a month despite the pleasure of eating all that bacon

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tyell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like tyhat scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max put alcohol powder on Baja's corn flakes instead of sugar. She got incredibly drunk for breakfast and by lunch she was into Max's stash of Canada Mints.

TESTING

stfu daisy. your a waist of space

This was invented a long time ago but was taken OFF the market! It's fine when you actually add water but some idiots were eating the powder...unfortunately the powder is poisonous until it reacts with water..

@33: That makes no sense. Go play in traffic.

@ 33 that was antifreeze you were drinking.

ye be checking it ouuut
http://gaaaaat.mybrute

@23: I agree, but because the kids will be snorting it.

@ 27: Genius idea! i better stock up before its made illegal.

i want to use flavored powdered alcohol as sprinkles on my ice cream cones.

Put it in a capsule and have a few drinks. I like it. Wash it down with more booze and it's like an instant party. it's all the fun of getting drunk without having to take 3 hours out of your day to do it. Jesus ain't got shit on science

now can they finally get to work on Goggle-less Beer?


You haven't seen anything until you've seen MACHO MAN Randy Savage trip/FREAK OUT on a bongful of Salvia:
