Something that makes you go "hmmmmm....."

[NiNi]

We all know the antz are on our backs about the evils of ecigs and then I come upon this, which is being made in Arizona, now Alcohol and tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau (TTB) approved, and going on the shelves this fall. Home and Feds approve powdered alcohol developed in AZ - CBS 5 - KPHO
I'd really like to know why this particular product stayed under the radar of the whole "save the children" crowd. I haven't drank alcohol for 20+ years, and since minor (under 21) consumption is against the law, and "zero tolerance" is pretty much the name of the game as far as DUI, I don't have issues with alcohol unless you decide to drive or you want to get stupid with me while under the influence.

But, seriously, powdered alcohol that you just add water to, in several different flavors, and easy to carry with you.

I see selective persecution.....

I was reading about this the other day, it's definitely a "hmmmmm" moment.

When this hits the market, I'm going to be first in line to try it.

No more sneaking bottles into concerts, sporting events, and other venues?
Count me in!!

But, but, what about the "children".

I read about this and thought great now someone is gonna start snorting it. So I went on over to the website. The "inventor" says something like we have made this "fluffier" (not the term he used) so people will have to snort a bunch of it. Then says, don't be an idiot and snort it.

I thought are you kidding me.

What will they think of next? Instant poffee?

I certainly hope the powdered alcohol doesn't come in assorted flavors, the children couldn't resist....

Wow, this is ridiculous. But I have to say I will try it, "just cause".

If necessity is the mother of invention, where is the necessity in powdered alcohol? The only practical application would be back country hikers saving weight in their packs. Don't get me wrong, I think it's brilliant. I just figured it was enough to have a high ball(or three), vape and chill.

For those of you who don't think alcohol can be turned into a powder, think again:

Alcohol powder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I, for one, welcome our powdered overlords.

How long before someone drops the power into a bottle of liquor and <insert ending of Tucker Max story>

As this doesn't have anything to do with vaping, closing.
