NEWS: Students Find Underage Drinking Loophole: Alcohol Powder!

Well... I'm pretty sure these chemistry students need to brush up on their Law studies a bit. I can't imagine (or even come up with a legal context) how selling this to children can be legal. Not going to happen.

As for dutch drinking laws: you can get wine at dinner from age 12 (provided you are with a parent or guardian) you can get light alcoholic beverages (max 5% I believe) from age 16, and the heavier stuff from 18 onwards.

And why the hell does everyone consider the Dutch weird?

Actually now that i think about it, it's probably for the same reason that everyone here thinks the rest of the world is weird...

Just stop already.

LOL Tennessee.

Hey, look! You just answered your own question!

YES! That's exactly what I was thinking coming into this thread!

Europe is light-years ahead of us...

fantastic.

Hey, look! You just answered your own question!

Zoomj!

I've written enough depressing articles in the last few days I think. Personally I find the idea of 20 year old Dutch kids coming up with their "brilliant business idea" of marketing booze to children through a powdered lime drink, well, pretty funny. As someone else has mentioned in the thread, it's not like their plan will work.

Ditto. And it's just a few 20 year olds. It's not like Dutch parliament is making powdered alcohol the nation's official pre-teen drink or anything.

so wait... if it's not liquid, alcohol is legal for underagers?
*goes and brings jello shots to local middle school*
paaaart-ay!

Snooooooooore. Don't be a baby. If you're coming to SG for the serious you must be snortin' some Booz2GO

I was just wondering if winesickles would be okay to hand out at the schoolyard.

The Dutch are awesome. Those who say otherwise just don't realise that the Dutch are awesome.

hehehe wow, this is insanely cool and weird. lol
