Now under House consideration, Senate Bill 5292 provides that current laws on the use, possession, purchase, and sale of liquor apply to powdered alcohol. Persons under age 21 cannot possess or consume powdered alcohol. Exemptions apply to powdered alcohol for medical use and religious services. Powdered alcohol is also added to the definition of spirits so that any revenue-related laws and rules that apply to spirits will apply to powdered alcohol.
