At least 27 states have banned powdered alcohol. The Constitutional amendment that repealed Prohibition also permitted states to place all kinds of controls on all kinds of alcohol.
Politicians in Idaho are now working to make Idaho the next state to ban powdered alcohol, as Watchdog.org’s Dustin Hurst writes, in part because of concerns about children and concealment.
Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman stood as the lone dissenter at the committee meeting. During his testimony, Hoffman pulled out a 3 oz. bottle of alcohol and pointed out how easily people can conceal the product, which the state liquor store already sells.
“If you’re really concerned about concealability, why don’t you ban this?” Hoffman asked. “The reason you don’t ban it is that you’re concerned about the revenue.”
