A researcher at a Russian university has developed a powdered form of alcohol that will soon make the consumption of vodka more convenient. From The Times of India:
Verily, we live in an age of medical wonders.

Russian professor Evgeny Moskalev of Saint Petersburg Technological University has evolved a technique that allows turning alcohol into powder and packing it in pills. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer.
“Dry” vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when “consumers” would be able to calculate their exact required dosage.

Despite that I would love to be able to predict my buzz. Too many times i end up drinking more BECAUSE I am buzzed. Despite that I would love to be able to predict my buzz. Too many times i end up drinking more BECAUSE I am buzzed.
And how about water in pill form?
And OIL! that would be so easy! Just drop a couple pills in the oil fill and be Done! Plus I'll bet it would be easy to get the old oil out too just pull the drain plug and the dust would pour out. No more messy spills!

.....Ehhhhhhhhh..... So...? Isn't that done also with the wet type when in bottle........?
It's unlikely that you can increase ethanol's density significantly by combining it with other things - even if you can it's not going to be by much. More likely it'll bulk it up considerably.
So - a 35ml "single" measure of 40% vodka will have 14ml of ethanol in it. That's around three teaspoonfuls even if it's 1:1 bulk when "dried". That's a bulky pill.
And : what happen when you swallow them with alcohol?
There are recipes all over the Internet for solid alcohol. Look for "Jello Shots"
WANT.
@zaneology
don't see how this will become legal in a lot of countries.
I am disappointed that the Times of India ran such a story.
Yeah, right! Pills in party environments are known for good calculability.
Certain people being drunk all the time.
People being more drunk while partying.
People getting drunk way too fast.
More people getting laid.
The price of real alcohol plumetting.
No barf in bathrooms.
LOL, looks like the OP has already been using them!
