Alright so I read this thing on "i fucking love science" :
http://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/powdered-alcohol-coming-us


Anyway so they made a way to get alcohol into a powdered form, but so far they are not allowed to sell it in the United States… This made me wonder how I could make alcohol into a powered form (Albeit this is 100% useless, especially since I don't really sneak alcohol into places but I think it could be awesome..and it is pretty badass to say the least)

Anyway so I did a bit of a googling and came across a powder called (N-Zorbit M) this is a Tapioca Maltodextrin meant for the absorption of liquids mainly oils.. They tend to use it in very high end cooking to create powered olive oil or powered sauces etc.

Uh for those of you who don't know what Maltodextrin is, it isn't as scary as it sounds. Maltodextrin is basically just treated grain starch that has been reduced to this form. It is like eating sugar essentially, has all the same effects.

Ok anyway so while reading I read that we could mix 30g of liquor with 100g of the powder to create the perfect consistency of liquored powder.

I just wanted to share this with all of you in case someone wanted to try it and let me know how it works out… I just don't want to fork over the $25 for the (N-Zorbit M) and the $25 for a high proof bottle of liquor (I was going to try everclear) (Without knowing it will fully work lol)

This is the site I found for the powder: http://www.willpowder.net/tapiocaMaltodextrin.html
With Shipping and Tax in the US it comes to around $21.

I would recommend using HIGH proof liquor otherwise you will have like 12% liquor for 100g of powder which is surprisingly a lot of powder.

Best of luck, if you are not 21 I would not suggest doing this (Just like to cover all my bases… I am not really 21 either lol)

Awk I def did not intend to post this in the SRL members section only, could this get moved to regular Discussion and Debate.

Also I will post this in my little blog thing

Is this real life? Think of all the possibilities. snort it. add it to people's drinks to get them drunker. add it to my own drink at the bar so i dont need to keep paying 5$ for a jack and coke when i could get the same thing at a bar at home for 3? any other research/sauce/etc?

I feel like it would take up too much space to be really convenient. I'm imagining it like damp sand or something, but maybe I'm underestimating how absorbant it is.

So instead of the bouncer thinking that you are sneaking alcohol into the club, it looks more like cocaine! Crisis averted there

Easy way to avoid that is to press it into tablets first. Nothing suspicious about tablets.

Assuming that bouncers are going to be patting you down..

They had a police checkpoint(?) at my student union the other week where they were pulling random people to the side to search and swab for drugs, and I was a lucky one. Can imagine I would've had a bit of explaining to do trying to roll up with some fat bag of white powder >.<

Are you sure they were random? Or were they just pulling aside the jocks and the skinny crackhead lookalikes?

Thats mean, lol.

Nah it just seems so much easier than trying to sneak a waterbottle in
