Results: Should powdered alcohol be legal?

A powdered form of alcohol called Palcohol is now approved for sale in the United States. Some health experts say they are concerned that powdered alcohol could be abused by minors, or could be more easily more easily hidden and consumed in places where people are not allowed to have alcohol. But others argue that there is no reason the drug would be more hazardous than liquid alcohol. On Tuesday, the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved Palcohol, a powdered alcohol that people can drink by mixing the product with water, according to the company. Palcohol will be subject to the same rules as liquid alcohol, so people will need to be age 21 or older to buy it, the company says.
