Powdered Booze?
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe...eut/index.html
• Dutch students invent powdered alcohol that can be sold to minors • Adding water to powder creates fizzy-lime flavored liquid • Innovation is called Booze2Go "Because the alcohol is not in liquid form, we can sell it to people below 16," said project member Martyn van Nierop. Which is quite an admirable goal, indeed. |

3% alcohol? That's a lot of lime water you gotta drink to get messed up.

Alcoholic Fun Dip? My word. Sounds almost as bad as that email going around warning about fruit-flavored crystal meth. |

 Just the thought of turning the hanging out at the concession stand after Little League games into a virtual kegger makes me wish I was still a kid. |

So why does that fact that it's powder make it okay to sell to minors?

Couldn't you make it a higher percentage by adding less water?

And, assuming that it falls into some legal loophole, why wouldn't the legislatures just close the loophole? If it wasn't a CNN link, I would think that it was a fake story. |

Just a loophole based on how the current law is written. I would think that if this stuff became popular then the government would simply edit the law. |

What are the odds or over under on how many days until the first person dies from alcohol poisoning due to "over sniffing" the powder?
