According to a new survey, most adult Americans support a powdered alcohol ban as they fear that it will lead to an increase in under-aged drinking.

The powdered alcohol will be launched this summer in four flavors, which include Rum, Vodka, Margarita, and Cosmopolitan.

The study was conducted by the researchers from the University of Michigan C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. The poll revealed that 60% of adults support a powdered alcohol ban, and 64% favor online sales being outlawed.

In addition, more than 80% of participants believe that alcohol powder would increase under-aged alcohol consumption. Alcohol powder is made of ethanol-containing molecules and gets transformed into instant booze when mixed with water. One packet of powdered alcohol mixed with six ounces of liquid creates an instant cocktail.

Around 90% of adults in the American survey are concerned about the substance's abuse by youngsters due as it would become difficult to trace the powered alcohol after mixing it into non-alcoholic beverages.

However, CEO of Palcohol Mark Phillips used a video to illustrate that a package of his powdered alcohol product is 500% larger than a 50 ml bottle of liquid alcohol. This would make it hard to hide.

Three states in the US, which include Vermont, South Carolina, and Louisiana have already passed ban on the product.

Matthew M. Davis, M. D., M. A. P. P., director of the National Poll on Children's Health said, 'Given that several states are considering legislation about powdered alcohol, our poll looked at what the public thinks about this new product. The majority of adults agree that powdered alcohol may spell trouble for young people".
