Powdered Alcohol

A BAD MIX FOR TEXAS

Powdered alcohol poses a serious public health threat, especially to youth.
Almost 40 states have banned powdered alcohol. 
Texas should be next.

​

CONCEALABLE. Backpacks, purses, and other small bags

can hide hundreds of packets.

​

EASILY MISUSED. Sprinkling it on food, snorting it, adding it to alcoholic beverages, or using multiple packets in one drink can 
lead quickly to overconsumption and risk for alcohol poisoning.

​

APPEALING TO YOUTH. Packaging and flavors are highly attractive to young people.
