    After long trials and scandals in the USA, they finally allowed the sale of powdered alcohol under the Palcohol brand at the federal level. The creator of the product, Mark Philips, explains that he primarily sought to create alcohol convenient for transportation. Instead of carrying around, such as camping, glassware and excess liquid, you can take a bag of powder. On the spot, you can add liquid directly to the bag, stir and drink.

    Powder alcohol- This is not a new idea, although it has not yet received wide distribution. The powder production process was patented back in 1974. Since then, several manufacturers have tried to promote their products, but without much success. In Germany, it was a powder under the brand name “subyou”, in the Netherlands - “Booz2go”. Since 1999, you can buy sake powder in Japan. In 2009, St. Petersburg scientist Evgeny Moskalev developed a way to make powder from vodka.

    One of the reasons for the low prevalence of the product is its legal uncertainty. Usually, only liquid products fall under the definition of alcoholic products, so powdered alcohol can theoretically be sold to all people, even minors. Therefore, to organize wide sales, it is necessary to amend the legislation.

    The scandals associated with obtaining a license for Palcohol occurred since the mention of it in the media in early 2014 . The first version of the product website called for secretly bringing Palcohol with you to places where it is prohibited, or adding it to food. Then, after the announcement of the sale license, a message appeared stating that the license was revoked . The reason for the recall was that the license was allegedly issued by mistake.

    Mark Philips shot a video in which he called the first version of the site “test and unfinished”, explained why Palcohol would be uncomfortable to secretly bring with him or quietly add it to someone in the drink. But one way or another, this time the license was issued according to all the rules, and soon the product will arrive on the shelves of American stores. Initially, it will be sold in five varieties: vodka, rum, cosmopolitan cocktail, margarita and lemon cocktail.



    And do not forget that excessive drinking of alcohol, which is in any state of aggregation, is harmful to your health.
