Lehrman Beverage Law and SB Nation have articles on a new powdered alcohol product.
First and for a long time, it was just liquid. Then it was whipped, solidified and almost vaporized. And now alcohol is powderized.
I am not astonished that this is a real product — but I am absolutely astonished that this is approved. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approved seven versions of this powdered alcohol within the past few days. The person that pushed this through must be very patient or lucky and/or good. The product seems highly likely to raise a large number of legal issues and controversies.
The website for the product appears to have been taken down due to the media response surrounding their marketing.
We were caught off guard with the release of some of our labels by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. As a result, people visited this website that we thought was under the radar because we had not made a formal announcement of Palcohol.

I want to know about the flammability, if I can pack it in my camping backpack more conveniently than sterno or the usual solid fuels.
I have a perfectly good liquid ethanol stove, and I've used jellied alcohol (sterno) and the solid fuels ranging from the .mil stuff to obvious charcoal. I wonder if powder would make a good camping fuel.
