Oh happy day! Something that combines my favourite pastime—drinking—with my second-favourite pastime—washing down prescription medication with alcohol. Russian professor Evgeny Moskalev of Saint Petersburg Technological University has invented a technique that can turn alcohol into powder to be compressed into pills.

This new method is capable of solidifying alcohol renders it dry to carry around in your pocket for emergencies. Any alcohol can be solidified, including beer, champagne, vodka and scotch.

What a wonderful idea. No booze breath, alcohol free from impurities and a plethora of ways a devious mind can devise to abuse it.
