no it doesn't mkae you cut your ear off!!! Depending on which you buy it's either a little bit stronger or little bit weaker than everclear. Usually around 140-150 proof. There are a ton of places to buy it but if you are in the US it's going to cost you about $70-$140 to get it. Usually the shipping is just as much as the product. I've bought from THIS PLACE a few times and have been very happy with it. Just takes a few weeks to get here.
There are a TON of places on the net now... A good resource is this place another place is this place

I think it's now believed that Van Gogh had a severe chronic ear infection.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the 18th-century philosopher, complained of a buzzing in his ears that went on for 30 years. Vincent Van Gogh is said to have cut off his ear during an excruciating bout of tinnitus
it has a licqorice flavor.. cut it with a little bit of water.. not much though.. just shoot it likea shot of jager.... if you like jager you'll like absinthe

Juicy
You can buy Vincent Van Gogh Absinthe in the local liquor store ( Bottle King in Bloomfield NJ carriers it) and im sure they have it on the island too. The US version is not made from wormwood but a close cousin of it and takes alot to get a good trip. Try the stuff from Europe (Amsterdam) it really gives you a good high

correct!! and the US version is bogus, don't even bother! It just gets you REALLY drunk.. it's got just such a high alcohol content is all. It's a little bit different kind of drunk... kind of hard to explain... you are very clear minded but very warm and fuzzy. And as you come down it's nice... just goes away smooth!

The original stuff really makes for a fucked up evening.. it has some herb in it that acts as a medium strength halucinagen (sp)..
Last time my friends and I had a bottle, some of them decided to pick each other up and run headfirst into the wall.. But atleast they were fun to look at the next day..

its the wormwood that gives u the high,
its all over alberta and has been for a long time, im not 100% sure about other provinces,
always ask if the absinthe contains wormwood if it doesnt it is a fake.
the stuff taste like sambuca imo for the people that havent tried it,
not bad if u r looking to get smashed, but i prefer to take a few shots in between drinking gin.

Tastes like nyquil to me.. doesn't make me hallucinate.
Seriously, it tastes like what's in it. It has a licorice taste, sorta. You can buy all kinds of it and get it shipped to the us. http://www.eabsinthe.com/ is a good place to start.
I'm pretty sure that's where I bought the first bottle for my hubby. I got a small bottle, glass, spoon and some sugar cubes. It was only enough for about 2 drinks, but it was fun. Since thne he's bought dozens of bottles and had hooked up with some people here in Seattle who love it and have parties occasionally where they get together to share different kinds, etc.
Hubby has drank the most in one sitting out of the two of us (I sort of think it tastes a little gross). I think he had 8 of them at a party a few months ago. Still no green fairy. Just drunk.
It's a fun drunk though. Good energy and lots of brain activity. I can see why the artists liked it. But it's not like LSD or shrooms so don't expect crazy hallucinations.
Bush can no more fire Rove than Charlie McCarthy could fire Edgar Bergen.

Quite apart from the high alcohol content, traditionally 68% abv, absinthe contains the herb 'wormwood' (Artemisia absinthium). This bitter herb contains a chemical called thujone, which is very similar to the active chemical in cannabis, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Analysis by scientists in the 1960s & 70s shows that this similarity is not a coincidence. Both chemicals are terpenoids. This means that 'both thujone and THC exert their psychotomimetic agents by interacting with a common receptor in the central nervous system', said scientist J del Castillo when writing an article on similarities between the psychological effects attributed to absinthe and those of marijuana (Nature magazine, January 31st 1975).
Unlike La Fée Absinthe, some contemporary brands may be made without Artemesia absinthium, and thus, do not contain thujone and are not strictly absinthe. Look at the back label of any absinthe brand, and if you find mention of a wormwood mash or infusion you may also see in brackets (Artemisia vulgaris). This herb is a member of the wormwood family that does not contain thujone and is commonly known as 'Mugwort'.
Both alcohol and thujone are drugs, and as such, we recommend that you drink absinthe in moderation. In short, wormwood offers an experience other than simply just becoming drunk, but is not comparable to the effects of a potent hallucinogen such as LSD.
Does anyone know what percentage it is? I looked at a bottle at the shop the other day and it had a sticker covering the real percentage saying 60% but the actual percentage was 70%. The strongest drink I found was some kind of rum I cant remember what type but it was 81%.
