Do you drink absinth?
 

I just had a shot... following a few shots of vodka

:thumbsup

I tried this for the first time a week ago. Very good stuff :)

Stupidity causes cancer.

what does that have to do with this thread?

It didn't make me trip...

I don't drink anything anymore... I can only imagine what pics would end up on GFY if I dipped into a little absinthe! :1orglaugh

What kind did you have? The real stuff or that homemade crap with vodka?

My husband is a fanatic about it. We have all different kinds from all over the world.

I think it tastes like Nyquil. :)

I'm going to try it soon.
Do you need the real thing to go tripping? There are so many diffrent brands.

The real stuff

I don't drink any cheap or homemade stuff

I only drink stuff that don't give me hangovers :thumbsup

all the time :glugglug

What is absinth ? Post a link or something ? never heard about it ... how do you pronounce it ?

Absynt contains poison, called thujon which is a neurotoxin. Why do you think this product is forbidden in most countries?

Illigal in most countries :)

I tried it. I had a bottle of Penrod that I got from Germany.

It was definitely a different buzz.


Anyone ever read Tucker Max's story?

"That devil juice is brewed from the urine of Lucifer."

it's the shit...

Any good sites to order quality absinthe online and ship to the US?

ok
well i don't drink it every day...

only like on ocassions and stuff

I only had it twice untill today

Order from me

hit me up on icq

:winkwink:

I got three different kinds. I got one that I can't remember what it looked like, one with the lady with the spoon on the label, and one random flask from the duty-free in the airport. Three different kinds, no tripping. Although I drank a shitload each sitting, so it may have been user error.

Absinthe isn't actually illegal in that many places... I'm pretty sure it's legal in the UK now. And please, anything that makes you feel good fucks with your brain/kills brain cells. That's why you do things in moderation...

Nothing wont happen, you get drunk because it contains a lot of alcohol.

Please read this before you spend money on useless things:

We had some at Serge's during Internext. It was the real stuff.

It is NASTY. I did 4 shots, and did not see anything....

I make my own and its very good :thumbsup

"Thujone is present in absinthe, but in such trace amounts that by the time you consumed a toxic dose you'd be dead of alcohol poisoning, many times over."

You damn right its nasty, and you look like you didn't like it all :Graucho

yeah well it's 60% alcohol too

and there is one which is 80%

There are various kinds of absynth. Some which are colorless and contain more thujon (toxin) than others do

number?

hehe, there's only one way to find out :winkwink:

Personally I can't get the stuff down. I still haven't tried the czech method of dripping the absinthe over the sugar cube and then lighting it on fire, but the french method, where you drip the water over the sugar cubes just makes it more gross liquid to drink. To me the stuff tastes like anisette- but 10x stronger. Just turns my stomache and leaves me feeling queezy the next day, if anyone has any tips on how to mask the taste I'd love to hear them. The grapes in a blender idea sounded interesting.

Is it any good!?

Ugh, does anybody read the link i posted?

Is it any good. Well, it gets you drunk. So if you like being drunk then its good, if not then not.

You wont get high, you wont hallucinate, nothing, you will get drunk, just like beer or whiskey or any other drink with alcohol.

I thought drinking to much absinthe kills you :helpme

apparently so does not smoking.. its true, i saw it on a commercial on t.v.

I imported some of the good stuff from Europe. It tastes like complete ass. Had to mix with some Mountain Dew to make it drinkable.

good shit, mmmmmmm

I meant the taste...not the effects

Smoothest buzz I ever experienced, Great to do with Black Vodka.:glugglug

Nah. Just makes you cut off your ear... http://www.davethefox.com/words/booze/absinthe.htm

I find the taste pretty awful

I don't drink anything that would kill me. I only drink beer.

I don't like it!
