Anyone order a bottle of real absinth online and had a good experience? If so, tell all where and what it was like...ever since I saw Eurotrip i've wanted to try it but haven't gotten around to it, I found one site that seemed expensive but im not sure of the conversion of 75CL to OZ or Liters or whatever, anybody know?
100 bucks for 75CL
l loive beerte
There are a few drunk off wine, including me...what are you drunk off of?
75CL seems like itd be the same as 750mL aka a fifth...
I ordered 20CL and it was exactly 6 shots... me and a friend each took 3 and we got pretty drunk but didn't hallucenate or anything sweet like that.
I've drank some in europe and some in the USA, and I gotta tell you that the stuff I had in europe knocked me on my ass, while the stuff imported to the united states was just a strong bad tasting drink. I think it has to do with the worm wood percentage that can be legally imported. Not sure though.
do a search on the net for a absynthe kit. friend of mine got one comes with a bottle of absynthe, the sugar spoon, and the glass. if you dont know what im talking about watch the movie "from hell" that was johnny depps kick in the movie. only he added Laudem(sp) into his cocktail which is an opium derivative i believe. that will knock your socks off hahaha
absynth? pah! polish stuff my sister in laws mum gets in is 90% alcohol!!
yea you can get grain alcohol 80-90% in a few places. that gets you drunk, the absynthe make you trip and gets you drunk.....
Order it? I take a trip to my local liquor store and buy it off the shelf.
ahhh thats what i wanted to know!! good ill be smuggling some from canada this summer when i make my annual pilgramage to montreal.

He he he reminds me when I was in college... an italian buddy of mine had his grandfather send him Grappa from the Italian Alps. Grandpa brewed the stuff himself...
No need to tell ya it had a kick on it like a rabid mule tripping out on LSD :)
Grappa... the smoothest rocket fuel I ever tasted :D

I drank it from most european countries, I have to say the best one came from Poland and Slovakia........but don't expect that much, its just reaaaaally strong alcohol, the halucinations are BS
RED KETCHUP......I love grappa, its apple schnaps, tastes real good and has a high alc % - I always drink it when I go skiing to Italy, that and prunja (don't know how to spell it, its the same thing but made from plums)
my friend ordered the 20CL (6 shots i think). he said he was tripping face for the whole night (off 3 shots)
Yes, I've tried real absinthe (smuggled into the US by a friend after his trip to Europe). Tasted good. I didn't drink enough to get blasted on it, but I had enough grappa before it to buzz on both.Quote:

Some info on absinthe:
The substance Thujone (a chemical that occurs naturally in wormwood) is banned by the FDA. This chemical is what gives absinthe its mild hallucinogenic properties. You will not see fairies flying around. However, after two glasses it is possible to see slight color changes on white surfaces. The true hallucinogenic part has to do with the fact that you feel drunk, yet clearheaded. It also--supposedly--enhances creativity. This is one of the reasons many artists and poets drank it.
Drunk yet clearheaded, thats well put!
i drank some in england. i was tore up but i don't remember hallucinating... then again, i don't remember how i got home that night either
i'm pretty sure that i tried karoake for my first and last time that night tho...
From what I have heard the absinth of today is nothing like the stuff of old. There are restrictions to ow much wormwood and stuff they can put in it. I have heard that it is overhyped, didn't stop me from getting some Czech absinth, didn't get that buzz though.
The stuff in england isn't the real deal. You can get the real stuff in the czech rep and a few other european countries.Quote:
