I've been wanting to try this stuff for years. Today I was at the liquor store and saw they had a few bottles. I went middle of the road for my first bottle and it tastes terrible but I do have a odd buzz just after 1/4 of a glass.

They can't sell the real stuff here though can they?

the due to the high alcohol volume. it doesn't have wormwood anymore, at least outside of czech republic it doesn't. it uses wormwood extract which is not the same fucked up thing.

i love it at bars when groups of nimrods fork out large for a shiteload of shots and then set alight to it, burning off a lot of the alcohol, leaving you with an average tasting reduced alcoholic shot that doesn't actually contain the 1 thing you think it does that will fuck you up.
- we won't even start on the ones that stand at the bar burning off a sugar cube over it. try harder.airey

it was re-legalized in 2007

There was a bar here in San Diego were they sell it, I think its legal these days cause its not as strong as the real thing.
I pussed out and ordered a newcastle instead.

Yeah, it's not as strong as it used to be, here anyway.

I booked out a hall for New Year's Eve 2001, we drank heaps of absinthe, and at the end of the night, we pulled a big framed picture of the queen of the wall, and tooks lots of incriminating pics of us snorting big lines off the queen's face... seemed like a good idea at the time.... but that's what Absinthe does to you :)

It's more convenient to by herb, or a bag of shrooms.

If I would have bought the bottle of Bullet Bourbon as planned I would have already drank a 1/4 of it. I'm sipping my second shot of Absinth and I feel like I drank an entire bottle of bourbon.

you don't get time to hallucinate on this shit. it's so high in alcohol you generally go from sober to smashed in under 30 minutes.

It's a vile concoction!

i have a bottle in my cabinet that i just realized is now empty.... i seriously don't know how i drank that whole bottle - my wife can't stand the stuff - you can buy it at any decent liquor store, though it's made with a 'relative' of the wormwood family that's not toxic (i guess) and approved by the FDA - no hallucinations - but it definitely is a different, very unique buzz. Would love to get my hands on the real 'wormwood' made absinthe.

I had some at a bar in Tokyo in 2006. We drank a shitload. I remember enjoying it and not caring how much we were spending - I think we each spent $100 each a this bar on Absinthe and food.
I didn't go insane or anything, but it felt very different from typical alcohol.

I drank half a bottle of the real shit from Czech Republic and I can tell you that it does not make you trip balls, it does however make you vomit them up for the entire following day.
- a common story from friends of mine. i stayed with the beer when i was there.airey
