For a long time, the concept of alcohol was combined only with a drink. But times are changing. And now, alcohol has altered its state of aggregation.
Essence
So, alcohol - what is it: a drink or a powder? Recently, this product is liquid or powdery, which contains ethanol in its composition, causes intoxication and forms a dependence. This is a disease with mental and behavioral disorders resulting in alcohol abuse .
Harm
It is generally accepted that the effects of drugs on the human body are many times worse than the effects of alcohol. However, some scholars equalize this evil. The explanation is, first of all, that the use of alcohol to get intoxicated is considered normal in society. Their influence is usually frightening only when a heavy dependence arises.
It is for the availability of these drinks in a large assortment (from bitter tinctures to pleasant ones with a low alcohol content), a tolerant attitude to their common use, and also the inconspicuous onset of a constant need to drink them again that they consider dangerous. The generally accepted opinion of beer as harmless, through addiction to which it is impossible to get addicted, has led many people to alcoholism.
For the breakdown of alcohol in the body there is a special enzyme. Most are neutralized in the liver. Intoxication occurs when the dose of drunk alcohol exceeds the body's ability to instantly neutralize it and the liver takes some time to restore proper enzymatic reserve.
It is unequivocally proved that alcohol has a very negative effect on the child's body, that such an effect destroys the coordination of mental and mental activity. Given that these areas of the child still go through the stages of their development, they are more vulnerable. It is also contraindicated for those who already have diseases of the heart and blood vessels, liver, pancreas.
To a greater extent, drunk alcohol affects the liver and brain. To a lesser extent, it harms other organs. Hepatic cells degenerate over time and parts of the parenchyma are replaced by connective tissue. There are fewer functioning cells, and the liver can no longer fully perform its functions.
Alcohol abuse leads to various diseases. The myocardium becomes weaker, its contractile function suffers.
Changes the product of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum, which are constantly in contact with it. As a result, erosion and ulcers occur on their surface.
It is proved that the cause of the formation and rapid progression of acute pancreatitis is precisely alcohol, that such a substance, whatever its state of aggregation, contributes to damage to the pancreas with serious consequences for life.
In the brain, interactions between neurons are disturbed. The brain regions responsible for mental reactions are more affected. As a result, behavior, self-criticism are violated.
Benefit
However, the benefits of alcohol still have a place to be. It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that these can only be small doses. All the myths that there is no harm from more than a few glasses of wine per week are wrong. While the benefits of small doses are confirmed by doctors.
- The action of alcohol in such cases is the expansion of blood vessels, which improves blood circulation. Thus, it reduces the risk of the formation of cardiovascular diseases.
- The product stimulates the secretion of bile, reducing the risk of stagnation in the bladder and the formation of stones. This improves not only excretion, but also digestion in general.
- Alcohol contributes to the body's resistance to radiation exposure.
All these positive effects are possible only if up to 50 grams is used. The additive will give the opposite effect.
Powder Alcohol Ingredients
Today, not everyone knows that there is water-soluble powder alcohol, that such a substance will be more accessible than the generally accepted one and will be another temptation from the green snake. A dry powder is an alcohol that has chemically reacted with cyclodextrins derived from sugars. As a result, it is decapsulated at the molecular level and becomes a powder.

This product is not an innovation at all. It was patented back in 1974 in America.
For the first time, a company in the USA spoke about him thanks to Lipsmark LLC. It suddenly announced the launch of Powdered Alcohol, which translates as "powdered alcohol."
The products were not taken seriously. But the company received a license to produce a dry drink. However, later the public was indignant, and the production permit was revoked. For many years this project lay unclaimed. But in 2015, this company managed to get the long-awaited permission again. Now the release of the first batch is waiting for the summer of 2016. However, some states were still adamant: they banned the manufacture and sale of this product by local laws.
Before America, a dry green snake was already trying to break into the markets of the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, but under pressure from the public and police it was banned.
Dry green snake
So, Palcohol. Under this name, it is planned to produce drinks of 4 types: rum, vodka, two types of cocktails. The powder will be sold in sachets at 29 grams. It is extremely simple to make a low-alcohol drink from it. You need to add the substance to a glass of water. Naturally, a larger degree will require more powder and less water.
Manufacturers of dry alcohol position it as a good alternative to the traditional drink, which people buy at concerts and other mass entertainment events at too high a price. As a result, their right to enjoy and relax is allegedly violated.
But such propaganda again caused a storm of indignation. And she was changed to an advertisement for a wonderful and easy way to relax for those who like to actively relax. As a big plus, it was possible not to carry bottles and other containers. He took out dry alcohol, poured it into a glass, spread it with water, if this is enough, then you can just seal the bag. You don’t have to carry anything heavy with you.
Manufacturers claim that the effects of alcohol, both dry and ordinary, on humans are the same. However, confirming this research and experiments have not been conducted. Therefore, the question of the features of how alcohol made from powder affects the body remains open.
Manufacturers say that using it for sniffing will not work. It hurts and quickly leads to a severe burn of the nasal mucosa, in addition to achieve at least some effect you need to sniff for a long time. It is easier to dilute the powder and drink a glass of vodka.
Potential large buyers
Manufacturers also position this powder as an ideal option for travelers who do not have to carry excess cargo with them.
In addition, hotels and resorts remote from a large civilization can save on roads and transportation of heavy loads of alcoholic beverages.
Ice cream producers became interested in the idea: why not release an “adult” version of a cold treat. Do not stand aside and the doctors. Such a dry antiseptic is not difficult to transport in a medicine cabinet.
But, above all, the problem is that a new temptation has come for youth. And the benefits of such sales will block all the cries of common sense. One can only guess how alcohol affects the body systems, what consequences will be in a year, three, five years of its wide distribution.
