Absinthe, anyone ever try it?

**40plusnewbie** · 09-11-2008, 07:59 PM

I just ordered a couple bottles with a very high content of Thujone and also a variety pack. I've never tried it before. Hoping it gets here before a small annual work gathering next month.

Never tried and have no interest in trying it.

Im not sure you can really talk about stuff like that here. Especially since you mention Thujone.

I tried it about 4 years ago when they finaly allowed bottle shops and what not to bring it into the country again, it was banned from being imported into australia for god knows how long......
Anyway it got me pretty ****ed up cant remember much. I dont really drink anymore so not interested in trying it again

I'm with I_Want_Abs, the stuff is lethal (very strong) and it tastes like absolute crap, so if you're planning on have some, MIX IT with a fruit juice/anything that tastes good.

But yeah, I stopped drinking a year ago

Yes i've tried. Now there are a lot of veriaties with different flavors. I haven't drink a drop of alcohol since i was 16 though.
Abssinthe is a no no if you're not used to hardcore alchols, like those italian and greek liquors, orujos etc etc. Make sure you eat like never before before drinking that, if you don't do so that's a knockout drink.

**Freakish** · 09-12-2008, 01:47 AM

**Dizz28** · 09-12-2008, 12:27 PM

**BuffBuffalo** · 09-12-2008, 06:18 PM

It tastes like crap and didn't do much for me. I don't think I drank enough of it though.

Junk... the stuff nowadays is missing the key ingredient of old

**warchild** · 09-12-2008, 06:38 PM

**Bojangles69** · 09-12-2008, 06:49 PM

just buy wormwood and extract yourself, its really not as crazy as people say. I went through an absynth phase myself.

**Amorphic** · 09-12-2008, 06:50 PM

**running_scared** · 09-12-2008, 10:06 PM

It'll get ya drunk!!! You'll be ****ing fat chicks in no time!

Sorry, just finished watching Chappelle show. Now then...I bought a really good bottle of absinthe, and tried 2 shots. I started to write poetry (yeah, what the ****) and then passed out.

Yup...potent stuff.

**BlInDsIdE** · 09-13-2008, 03:30 AM

its not that great

**Dizz28** · 09-13-2008, 06:03 AM

Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off to send to his lady after a long binge on Absinthe, as the story goes.

Consuming Absinthe for long periods of time can cause psychosis

**importeater91** · 09-13-2008, 06:59 AM

You can get really potent stuff out of Checkoslovakia, high Thujone content.

**boxer08** · 09-13-2008, 08:04 AM

My mates drink it alot, the drugie ones lol.

**redz** · 09-13-2008, 10:37 AM

I brought a bottle back from france when I was in europe last year. That stuff did make me halucinate but only mildly. Definitely and experience but i would think it is especially hard on the liver with the high alcohol concentration.

I had some back in high school. Best way we found was a 1:1:4 ratio. 1oz absinthe 1 melted sugar cube(just hold it in a tblspn over a torch lighter) and 4 oz's of pure ice cold water. Turns it into a kinda foggy white color. It's called the louche effect or something. It floored my a$$ and gave me some pretty wicked dreams. Just be careful with that stuff bro. Saw it mess up a friend of mine pretty good.
