WOW, that is insanity. I wouldn't want to drink again after that either if I woke up and was like that.
There is also an Absinthe Night Bar in Amsterdam.

It was my last night in the city and we finally found out where it was as we were walking by but we were too fooked up already to go inside. I will definitely be going there next year :) |

My last adventure on Absinthe didn't turn out too good!
I had a bad day at work and went out with a friend. Drank a half bottle of wine, and then headed up to a bar to have some Absinthe. I had four shots in less than 45 minutes then headed home. I was having a great time then it hit me about 45 mins after my last shot and I don't remember anything else about the night. My friend told me I was so sick and slept in the washroom all night. I was extremely sick the next day and couldn't hold anything down.
It's too bad, I did enjoy having 1-2 shots every now and then, but after the night I had above, I don't think I can ever go near it again.:( |

NICE!
but I must say... I find you brave to drink it as a shot. I'm surprised you didn't puke or singed your throat. As a Czech I pour 2oz over a sugar cube or two through a holed spoon, flabee'd until the sugar caramelizes, then dropping in the glassputting it on fire, then adding water until the fire goes out.
There's a French restaurant just to the right of Montana's (in the clubbing district) that serves it this way. They call it Van Gogh's Ear on the menu. |

| i've always been curious about getting my hands on the real stuff. as yet, i have not! the first time i had it in oban, scotland, i thought i had burned a hole in my throat. then a few years later we brought some back from england, but it was really a waste as it doesn't taste good with anything (although i seem to recall us mixing it with something - maybe redbull LOL - that wasn't too revolting), and i'm not gonna do shots of something that tastes so horrific if it doesn't have any wormwood in it. and if what y'all are saying about having to drink it several nights in a row for it to do anything is true, then that seems like too much work for me. ;) |

Do it like the Czechs do, and you won't regret it. |
