The rise of powdered alcohol has prompted ‘serious concerns’ from alcohol action groups here in Ireland – including that it could be used to spike drinks.
A product called “Palcohol” went viral in recent days after it was reported that the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved the 10 to 12 per cent strenght powdered alcohol.
However, this was issued in error, and drink has currently failed to pass the labelling stage of approval.
The company originally branded itself as a product that could be sneaked into venues instead of paying for expensive drinks.
Mature Enjoyment of Alcohol in Society (MEAS) has branded this as “hugely irresponsible”.
