Alcohol powder

Alcohol powder or powdered alcohol or dry alcohol is a powder that becomes an alcoholic drink when water is added. It is made using micro-encapsulation of alcohol (specifically ethanol).

In March 2015 four product labels for specific powdered alcohol products were approved by the United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) which opened the doors for legal product sales. However, as of 4 January 2016, the product is not yet available for sale and legalization remains controversial due to public-health and other concerns. Researchers have expressed concern that, should the product go into production, increases in alcohol misuse, alcohol use disorder, and associated physical harm to its consumers could occur above what has been historically associated with liquid alcohol alone.
