[pct-l] Pack weight?

[Austin Williams]

Seriously, when is someone going to come up with powdered alcohol?  It's
time.

I was thinking about this for about 300 miles on the trail and this is all I
could come up with:

A little sealed plastic pouch of moonshine (equivalent to the amount of
alcohol found in one beer) and a little package powdered "beer flavor" that
includes something that makes it fizz or bubble when added to water.  Then
you just mix the "beer flavor fizzy" package with the "moonshine" package in
a bottle of water and BAM!!! instant ultralight trail beer (that will
probably taste terrible but will certainly do the trick).

Now I just need a degree in chemistry and we'll get this party started!
