FancyPants Posted March 12, 2015 http://www.palcohol.com Uhhh... just wow. The maker said it burns when snorted, ergo nobody's going to snort it. This has more holes than swiss cheese. On the other hand this may be what tips the ridiculousness of not comparing alcohol with other drugs over the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Yeah on first hearing about it I though fuck thats not smart, but after looking at it I dont think its any different to whats out there. The only problem I really see is people eating it and getting a delayed effect, though thats no different to smashing shots. Snorting it will not likely be dangerous as the quantity you'd need to snort would be limiting. The maker said he made it because he like hiking but likes to have a drink at the end and alcohol is heavy to carry. Well alcohol is lighter/L then water and you still have to mix this with water. Fair enough if you're getting water from a stream or tap its lighter but not if you're carrying it, you'd then also need more water to make sure you dont dehydrate. This isnt like someone made crystallised alcohol that stays that way at room temp. Palcohol is ethanol absorbed into cyclodextrins. This encapsulates the ethanol and allows it to be treated as a powder- kinda like molecular bottles. Apparently the cyclodextrins can absorb up to 60% of their weight in alcohol. Its been sold in Germany and Netherlands for a few years now. Edited March 12, 2015 by teonanacatl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted March 12, 2015 I wonder how flammable it is. I dont drink, but I might be willing to play with fire in unwise ways 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auxin Posted March 13, 2015 But can you get high by rubbing it on your nipples? I did that with some really crystally bud once, it was awesome just for the novelty of the innovation. Not often one gets to do something with drugs that borders on the avantgarde. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted March 13, 2015 ROFL at all ^^^ There was a russian guy who died from shafting vodka after he'd been told if he DRANK alcohol again he'd die. Maybe he had cervical varices in his throat. Butt-chugging purging Brew? Cactus soup? more guard-your-rear than avant-gard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
