SAN FRANCISCO, 28 de abril de 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Alcohol Justice informa que 31 estados ya han legislado o regulado prohibiciones completas sobre el alcohol en polvo, y que California está en vías de hacer lo mismo. Hoy, la Asamblea de California aprobó por unanimidad la AB 1554 (Irwin, demócrata por Thousand Oaks). Una medida acompañante (SB 819, Huff, republicano por San Dimas) fue aprobada por unanimidad en el Senado el mes pasado. Hasta la fecha, 113 de 120 legisladores de California han votado a favor de una prohibición del alcohol en polvo.

Alcohol Justice reports that a super-majority of states now ban powdered alcohol and California may soon be next.

"Esperamos que California sea el estado número 32 en decir no a otro estúpido producto de alcohol que atraerá a los chicos", dijo Bruce Lee Livingston, director ejecutivo y CEO de Alcohol Justice.  "Ahora que las dos propuestas de California que prohíben el alcohol en polvo se han aprobado en sus cámaras, esperamos que sigan adelante, se combinen y se presenten al gobernador Brown para que las firme rápidamente".

El pasado marzo, Alcohol Justice solicitó una acción legislativa de emergencia en todo el país en respuesta a la noticia de que la Oficina de Impuestos y Comercio del Alcohol y el Tabaco (TTB por sus siglas en inglés) de Estados Unidos había aprobado etiquetas para el producto de alcohol en polvo, Palcohol. La aprobación de la TTB le dio luz verde a las etiquetas y las tasas impositivas, permitiendo a los estados permitir el producto, regularlo o prohibirlo.

Desde entonces, se han aprobado nuevas leyes en 31 estados para prohibir la posesión, la compra, la venta, la oferta de venta, la distribución, la fabricación o el uso de alcohol en polvo. La mayoría de los estados penalizan con multas la violación de estas medidas. Hay diez estados que están considerando proyectos de ley para prohibir los productos. Solo tres estados permiten las ventas.

En California, Alcohol Justice copatrocinó la Propuesta para la Asamblea 1554, que junto con una SB 819 le dará un alto preventivo y total a una escalofriante serie de preocupaciones sobre salud y seguridad asociadas con el alcohol en polvo o cristalino.

"El alcohol en polvo es un producto peligroso que se ha creado y comercializado como una forma de hacer cócteles sobrecargados sobre la marcha. El consumo excesivo de alcohol y las muertes relacionadas con el alcohol ya son un enorme problema en California, y añadir alcohol en polvo a la mezcla es una receta para el desastre", dijo la asambleísta Jacqui Irwin (demócrata por Thousand Oaks), autora de la AB 1554. "La votación de hoy refleja el abrumador apoyo bipartidista a la prohibición del alcohol en polvo, y aplaudo a mis colegas por dar un paso decisivo para proteger la salud pública".

"El alcohol en polvo tiene un elevado potencial de atraer a los jóvenes con su conveniencia, sus sabores de frutas y la facilidad de llevarlo a cualquier parte", expresó el doctor Jim Kooler, portavoz de la California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) y administrador de la California Friday Night Live Partnership y del California Center for Youth Development and Health Promotion. "Los jóvenes que empiezan a beber antes de los 15 años de edad tienen cuatro veces más probabilidades de desarrollar una dependencia al alcohol y dos veces y media más probabilidades de ser consumidores de alcohol en exceso que los que empiezan a beber a los 21".

"Seguimos de acuerdo con el senador de Nueva York Chuck Schumer, quien dijo que el Palcohol se convertirá en el 'Kool-Aid' del hábito de beber compulsivamente entre los adolescentes y causará graves intoxicaciones con alcohol y muertes", expresó Livingston. "Damos las gracias a los estados que han puesto la seguridad y la salud pública por encima del comercio. Seguiremos exhortando a los líderes electos en los estados que todavía no han tomado medidas a tomarlas, para eliminar también de sus estados la amenaza del alcohol en polvo", agregó Livingston.
