What happens if you just eat the powder? That depends on if you are a funny drunk or a mean drunk. I think one of the big reasons I survived "those years" is I've always been a funny drunk.

The Wikipedia article clarifies the chemistry -- no chemical reaction occurs, the ethyl alcohol remains in liquid form but adsorbed to the dextrins (complex sugars). The sugar dissolves in water and releases the alcohol.
(still doesn't sound very tasty -- all those dissolved dextrins floating around probably don't add to the flavor)

Can't you just snort the powder and forget the water?

Easily concealed, this stuff will be big on the prison circuit.

Can't you just snort the powder and forget the water? Beat me to it. That'll be next. Then someone will die from doing so. Then they will inject it. And someone will die from doing so. Then there will be inquiries. It will all be considered to be [insert current running president's name] fault.

Silly gooses, no one will snort it because its maker says not to!
11. Can I snort it? We have seen comments about goofballs wanting to snort it. Don't do it! It is not a responsible or smart way to use the product. To take precautions against this action, we've added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose. You would feel a lot of pain for very little gain. Just use it the right way.

The Popular Science article also says that it is highly flammable so this product should go over really well at the local frat house. if you can't get a buzz eating it, snorting it or drinking it (how boring!) you can always burn down the house with it.

I always do what the label tells me. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I wonder if you can use it in your shorts on a hot day to prevent chaffing?

I'm with Doug on the powdered-water idea: if you're heading into desert country, you can not only bring your dehydrated water--Pwater--but some Palcohol, and you're ready to party hearty. You mix the Palcohol with the Pwater and, hey presto, instant highball!
Now if someone could just invent powdered little umbrellas. . . .

Now we just need to apply to the government for a $20 million grant to perfect powered water.

So, powdered alcohol is really liquid alcohol with a powdery substance to hold it dry. So then. the powdered alcohol will weigh more than an equivalent amount of liquid alcohol.
So, if you're trying to carry a little cocktail on a hiking trip, it'd be lighter weight to just pack a vial of your fav liquor to mix with your aqua. The powder is dead weight.

Well I passed organic with a B and I don't know how you would do it either but hey things get invented. But what they should be working on is powered water. Steven Wright did a bit about this a number of years ago. What he said was, "I bought some instant water. But I didn't know what to add."
