It's funny because it's so stupidly ironic. Lets hope that someone, FDA or AMA or someone will put a ban to this... Parents and retailers mainly... especially if it's marketed to the youth... just how young is this guy thinking? 18-20 yr olds? Geez fella how many 15-17 year olds do those same 18-20 year olds know?Is it wrong that I find this funny?
Lets ban celophane baggies too!:soapbox:
Call it inevitability
anything for anybody that is all I can say
The product is still going to be subject to State and Federal Laws.

Youth have easier access to hard drugs then to alcohal right now, so why not? I think drinking is better then Acid or E is it not?
Besides, at 3%? Light beer is higher then that, hard to do yourself much damage on a 3% drink. And if it is powdered and fruity, its probably also very sweet and will leave them feeling near death in the morning if they do drink a lot of it
Yes, the way the laws are written currently, this product wouldn't pass muster in USA.

Yes that is (hopefully) true, but it's the marketing scheme they're promoting... just like selling cigarettes to youths, or promoting promiscuous sex with the sale of condoms to youths.
It's called, (at least in my opinion) irresponsible marketing.
No I'am not ok with it but if other people do not mind then that is there priority and who am I to tell someone in another country what o do. I make sure my childern will never have it until the proper time I hope.

Well, how much alcohol is there in some types of prescription and OTC medication?
%think%
Powdered alcohol. The possibilties are endless.
Snort it.
Add it to your cocktails to get even more drunker faster.
Mix it with the kool-aid at the PTA bake-sale.
Blow it in your enemy's eyes like a ninja.
Going camping. (yes this one might actually be a good idea.)
Use as a dry-rub for your brisket.

Now this is something that might actually be useful... I wonder how that brisket will taste over the BBQ when prepared that way....

You can't market to kids in the US, can't do it with tobacco, can't do it with liquor.
Who cares if this comes to the US, do you really think one more beer/wine/liquor option is going to cause the downfall of our youth? Wine coolers were the rage among the girls when I was in high school, and at 18 I managed to drink enough tequila that the next time I had a margarita was when I was 26. When everything is illegal the last thing in the world that kids are going to go for is the stuff that doesn't get them drunk. Way easier to do tequila poppers or American piss-water beer that has 25% more alcohol by volume.

For a certain definition of 'can't'....go look at the height of many cigarette ads these at your local minimart some time. Just 'cos Marlboro can't advertise in Boy's Life and Cosmo for Kids doesn't mean they're not marketing to the kids.
