BILL NUMBER:S7217A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to prohibiting the sale of any powdered or crystalline alcohol product PURPOSE: Prohibits the sale or offering for sale of concentrated alcoholic beverages. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of this law amends section 3 of the alcoholic beverage control law by adding new subdivision 7-e to define the term "concentrated alcoholic beverage." Section 2 amends Section 100 of the alcoholic beverage control law by adding a new subdivision 1-a banning the sale of any concentrated alcoholic beverages.

JUSTIFICATION: Powdered alcohol or "concentrated alcoholic beverages" are dangerous and completely unnecessary items. The alcohol is freeze dried in order to make it more portable and then, of course, easier to conceal. The makers of the freeze dried alcohol say that the product is intended for hikers or backpackers. Apparently, powder would allow them to more easily transport the product than a liquid. However, because it is so easy to transport and hide it has the potential to be used illegally by youths, and brought to venues that prohibit alcohol.
