Kool-Aid with a Kick? Dutch Students Create Powdered Alcohol

A group of Dutch students at Helicon Vocational Institute have created a powdered alcoholic drink called Booz2Go as part of their final year project. All I can think of is this is definitely better than the Kool-Aid I've been buying! Here's the story from Yahoo!News:

Just add water - students invent alcohol powder

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors.

The latest innovation in inebriation, called Booz2Go, is available in 20-gramme packets that cost 1-1.5 euros ($1.35-$2).

Top it up with water and you have a bubbly, lime-colored and -flavored drink with just 3 percent alcohol content.

"We are aiming for the youth market. They are really more into it because you can compare it with Bacardi-mixed drinks," 20-year-old Harm van Elderen told Reuters.
