Colorado is the latest state considering prohibiting “Palcohol” amid concern it will increase underage drinking. The product is marketed as an ounce of rum or vodka in powdered form, which is then added to water.
Each serving is the equivalent of a shot of liquor, according to Lipsmark, the company that owns Palcohol.
