U.S. Senator Charles Schumer
WASHINGTON – With powdered alcohol possibly set to hit store shelves in the next few weeks, during the height of summer, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer Monday launched an emergency push to ban Palcohol.
Schumer’s new federal legislative push would make the production, sale and possession of powdered alcohol illegal.
Palcohol is easily concealable, can be mixed with water, and can even be snorted. Sen. Schumer explained that New York and the rest of the country has a massive problem of underage drinking, DUI’s and other alcohol-related crime, and said that Palcohol creates an immense danger to teens and others.
Earlier this year, Palcohol was approved for federal labels by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and the company says it will hit store shelves as early as the next few weeks.
