ELI5: how come alcohol is only consumed as a liquid?

Let me clarify, we all obviously know there are alcoholic beverages, but I'm wondering why there are no alcoholic consumables. Yes, yes I know this sounds just a tad ridiculous but when I was stoned out of my mind last night this question entered my thoughts. I've seen alcoholic powder before, where you mix it into drinks, but I'm wondering why there aren't, for example, alcoholic pills. Thanks!

Bonus question: I have the opposite question for drugs, do liquid drugs exist? (I literally sound like a five year old asking this)

Rum cake, jello shots.

Alcohol is the chemical ethanol. Ethanol is a liquid at most temperatures we consume food at. That limits the choices. Frozen ethanol is cold enough to damage us. Vapor ethanol is a thing, but dangerous.
