Just the thought of Absinthe shots makes my stomach want to curl up into a ball and wish the world away.
Steeping a sugar cube into it with ice-cold water - the French method - is farrrr more appetizing. Plus, you don't get trashed and can enjoy the taste and the lucidity way more. |
Maybe I wanted to wake up in a trash can, eh? |

Hallucinations caused by Absinthe = myth.

Yup, you need the kind from the Czech Republic however.
It makes the world feel like a perfectly composed painting, very artistic, and it enhances colors similar to the way a dose of shrooms does.
It's awesome, and I can see why painters used it for inspiration. Just remember... czech is the only one with real thujone. |

| 72% CHHHHYYYEEEAAAA! absinthe is overrated, the flaming shot style is cool but you know how much they cost, pffff. it's funny if the hallucinogen propaganda thing is true because that only makes it sweeter and more people are like "OMG OMG absinthe" |

any absinthe you get in Canada or USA is just a cheap imitation of the real stuff. You need to go to Europe to get the real stuff. |
Incorrect, we can get the same brands here now. |

No hallucinations but if I did I probably wouldnt remember them, when I drink too much I start forgetting... alot.
It's fun stuff but if I am in the mood for some fun drinks I stick to mixed shots and cocktails.
It's good but a once in a while drink. |

Well to be fair it doesn't cause hallucinations, which I think is what people seem to expect.
It does just what I said if you get with real and sufficient thujone content -- very artsy, creative coloring and mood.
It's distinctive and apparent, not something you would miss if it worked, no matter how high the alcohol content is. |

My first (and so far only) experience with Absinthe followed as such:
I live in the U.S., so it was the cheap knock-off stuff. But I was 17 years old at a house party where everyone else was over the age of 21, and I needed to prove myself.
I drink a glass, diluted with water and sugar. Someone else poured it for me.
I drink one or two Heinekens because I like Heinekens.
Feeling macho, I drink a second glass diluted with water and sugar.
I then go out to the backyard patio to share a blunt with my new friends. This was when I blacked out.
I wake up in the passenger seat of my own car, parked in front of my house. There is vomit on my sweater. I do not know how I got home.
The next morning I was told that this happened:
I took the bottle of Absinthe and starting pounding it like a college freshman drinking a Bud Light. I got maybe one-sixth of the bottle down before my body refused it, and I became a steam-tank.
I ran around the house making mechanical noises, with my arms pushing away at everything I saw because I was a ing steam-tank. Apparently I knocked a few paintings off of the walls, and utterly destroyed a bathroom in my bio-mechanical fury.
Fun times. |
