csspecs 1,987 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Its a process of absorbing the alcohol into a sugar, the sugar molecule wraps around the alcohol and it becomes a 'dry powder', despite being saturated with a liquid. Its roughly 60% alcohol and 40% sugar. This is merely a method that makes it economically viable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_powder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunman1 1,753 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I figured on seeing a picture of Valium when I opened this thread, as it has the same effect of alcohol . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I wonder if they'll put this in pixie stix. Its a great way to get throat cancer, and diabetes in the same hit. I have a beer keg, which is expensive enough to keep full. I don't need to start drinking concentrated booze. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Won't last, someone will be snorting and soon there after eating peoples faces. Sad would be great for storage. But just like spray paint some idiot will either kill the idea or you'll need to give a blood sample to buy it. Of course the liquor companies may have something to say in the lobby............. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Powdered dry alcohol with sugar? That is news to me. In fact, if memory serves, alcohol, (C6 H12 O6) mixed with water, (H20) and most simple sugars (varies) will be OK in solution, but if you remove all the H20, (water) then what? I do not think the dry sugar-alcohol molecules shown on the Wikipedia site would be stable and most certainly would NOT release alcohol when the water is re added. Just me. I am sorry, but my BS meter is WAY OFF the scale here. Would some chemist please explain it all to me? HB of CJ (old coot) But....how about PURE alcohol mixed with sugar at very low temps? Would THAT be stable? But what would then happen if the stuff was heated up to the point of liquid water? I do not think the bonds are strong enough. Just me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 There's a way of doing it, using some kind of binder. Dunno if it's as simple as sugar, that doesn't really make sense to me. But, imagine it as a similar process to gelatin made with alcohol - the alcohol is still there, but it's bound up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Apparently BATFE pulled their approval.. At least they are consistent with their inconsistency . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I wonder what would happen if you blew it up into the air and ignited it? Might be really interesting... My guess is either a nice, blue/white fireball, or a HUGE BOOOOM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
