Freeze-dried,
powdered alcohol has been approved by federal regulators, meaning the
controversial novelty — once called “the Kool-Aid of teen binge drinking”
— could hit liquor-store shelves across the country by the summer. The product, dubbed Palcohol, was given the
go-ahead on Tuesday by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau almost a
year after it backtracked on its previous authorization, saying the label
approvals had been issued in error.
