Would you "drink" powdered beer?

Teenagers will go to great extremes to get their hands on some booze. They'll steal it; they'll bribe older siblings to buy it; they'll get a fake ID. Trust me, as a former "fast kid" teenager, if it can be thought up, someone high school kid will try it.

Case in point: a group of Dutch students recently came up with a truly original way of getting booze into the hands of under-aged kids. Booz2Go -- their creation -- is a powdered form of alcohol that when added to water creates a lemony drink with 3% alcohol content.

What's brilliant about Booze2Go (other than the corny name) is that the powdered packets are perfectly legal to sell to minors. How so? Well, because the hooch is powdered, not liquid, Dutch law technically allows the selling and the consumption by people under the age of 16.

It's unclear whether or not Dutch lawmakers will crack down on the dehydrated imbibe, but I think it's safe to say that two can play at the legal language semantic game.
