Dutch Students invent Powdered Alchohol
Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors.
The latest innovation in inebriation, called Booz2Go, is available in 20-gramme packets that cost 1-1.5 euros ($1.35-$2).
Top it up with water and you have a bubbly, lime-colored and -flavored drink with just 3 percent alcohol content.
"We are aiming for the youth market. They are really more into it because you can compare it with Bacardi-mixed drinks," 20-year-old Harm van Elderen told Reuters.
Van Elderen and four classmates at Helicon Vocational Institute, about an hour's drive from Amsterdam, came up with the idea as part of their final-year project.
"Because the alcohol is not in liquid form, we can sell it to people below 16,"
Part of me wants to say HEY, you cant do that, thats illegal and morally unjust… and the other part of me wants to just say
wow,
Thats impressive, I'm not even going to lie to you. Those kids really wanted to drink, and where there's a will there's a way. Intellegence has finally provided the youth with a way to legally get drunk.
GO SCHOOL!
