Last ear I wrote about a powdered alcohol product, brand name Palcohol, that had been approved by the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for sale in the United States.

At the time, the experts were mixed in their opinions. Now, state governments are moving to ban powdered alcohol before it even hits the shelves.

According to Food Safety News, last spring, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, an arm of the U.S. Treasury Department, approved Palcohol and then rescinded its approval over labeling issues. While that issue is being worked out, state lawmakers are trying to get ahead of the issue by introducing powdered alcohol bans in Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and Wisconsin.
