FINALLY!!!! I'm sure it'll be some dumbed-down blend though, as god-forbid the american government let you get fucked up on absynthe. I may see if they have it in the liquor stores nearby my house...

I'm sure it'll be some time before it's at stores. And at first probably just in the bigger metropolitan areas.

Absinthe is nifty. I heart it; I heart it a lot.

absinthe is a fag drink. if you're gonna drink booze, drink scotch...or at least some whiskey.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Nov 16,2007 2:40pm
absinthe a fag drink?

it's like 140 proof...what?

HTB is so fucking wrong and has never done a shot of 180 proof absinthe. that stuff is the bees knees. it makes scotch and whiskey seem like crotch and kitten whiskers.

I downed a few shots and was pleasantly annihilated. Definitely not like a traditional drunk; it's hard to describe exactly how it's different, but it's a whole different ballgame.

Absinthe ruins lives. For example, there's me.

It is a less potent version but I tried it and got blasted...

My friend brought me back some when he went to Europe. I use it as a date rape drink.

is this real absinthe or that fake absinthe?



toggletoggle post by RichHorror  at Nov 16,2007 4:31pm
It all depends. There's a whole industry dedicated to making psuedo-absinthe, so I'd definitely do some research on whatever brands they're selling before assuming you're getting anything other than 120-proof gin mixed with mouthwash.

just cause you posted that on the internet doesn't make it true. plus, if it taks me getting called gayer than two boys fucking so that I can get absinthe in the US fucking A, then bring it.

paul, this is about REAL absinthe made from wormwood. if you wanted the filtered crap, they ell that in the US already and it tastes like balls.

I'm obviously being a dissenting asshole. I don't know shit about it and if it really produced a psychedelic experience and is legal, i will likely try it.

absinthe is so potent, i held a double-shot in my mouth for a few seconds too long and could taste none of my beers for the next hour or so.

Had the real deal in Sweden I believe it was a obtained on a trip to Prague...Down for the count.
Although, a weaker version in US markets....This is good news! A step in the right direction for American alcoholism! Yargh!



toggletoggle post by thegreatspaldino   at Nov 17,2007 9:27am
im pretty sure you dont light it on fire before you drink it... your pour it over a sugar cube thats in a perforated spoon because absinthe is incredibly bitter.

Way we did it, is you take a spoonful of sugar, dip the spoon (with sugar) into the absinthe so it coats the sugar, light the sugar on fire (to emulsify it and allow it to mix) and then quickly stir it in with the absinthe shot and take.

Absinthe sucks.....hands down.

Should be legal anyway.

My personal experience with absinthe:
Ordered a bottle (anise-free) that supposedly has the highest legal thujone level in Europe, downed 3 shots, felt slightly stoned, slightly drunk, 3 hours later completely hung-over feeling and mounds of vomit. Wasn't worth the 100 bucks, that's for sure.

I am the Green Fairy
My robe is the colour of despair
I have nothing in common with the fairies of the past
What I need is blood, red and hot, the palpitating flesh of my victims
Alone, I will kill France, the Present is dead, Vive the future.
But me, I kill the future and in the family I destroy the love of country, courage, honor,
I am the purveyor of hell, penitentiaries, hospitals.
Who am I finally? I am the instigator of crime
I am ruin and sorrow
I am shame
I am dishonour
I am death
I am absinthe.

I drank about 8 or 9 shots of the real deal stuff at the 007 club in Prague
one time on tour with Dropdead...somewhere during our set I apparently
pulled my pants down and hung upside down by my feet on a pipe.
For some reason too, I kept cracking hardcore Abraham Lincoln jokes on
the promoter who had a beard...he stopped thinking it was funny after the
30th time. It could have been partly that I was smoking alot of hash too...or I'm just a douche. probably all of the above.

Funny; sitting here listening to Arcturus' "La Masquerade Infernale," and that fit perfectly. Definitely absinthe music; I think it'll be the soundtrack to my next green fairy experience.

well if by that you mean the real original absinthe recipes that have been made in the same location for over 200 years, then yes, gay. The people there are saying that the reason absinthe was banned in the first place was low quality absinthe that had too much of the wormwood stuff.
