KR absinthe is alot more fun

While I was Shopping around in my local liqueur store for a new drink I happen to find a bottle of absinthe. So I though ohh joy perhaps this will be fun. So i bought the bottle and rushed home. I did all the steps to properly make the drink. Well 4 drinks later...........no fun amazing colors, no drunken blindess , and no green fairys ( even though the bottle had the green fairy on it). Absinthe just gets you really drunk. No cool hallucinations.

That would be because these days what you can find on shelves is without wormwood, which is the hallucinatory agent.  There are only a few places in the world you can still get real absinthe, but not being a buyer I can't recall which countries.

Any drink that messes you up from over seas is always watered down when it's made in America.  It sucks, because some of the things I've found from across the globe has never been the same as the stuff here.

The hallucinatory agent is also highly poisonous, if I remember correctly, which is why it's illegal in the USA.

Though it grows wild like a weed all over the US and Europe and it is highly toxic if concentrated and taken alone. I see it all the time on hikes and things here in NY. I do not suggest any do-it-yourself absinthe making however.

I got a bottle of the real stuff (yes, from out of the country). We tried it once and since it tasted worse then rubbing alcohol, we have left it alone since.

If your not gonna drink it Chris , ill gladly take it.

I'll drink it with you, Quags.  Absinthe is one of the hallucinogens with which I am not personally acquainted.

and it tastes like ass...and you only get drunk. It's a bunch of hype, IMO.

P.S. Buy absinthe lol

Germany is one of the countries, its in the terminal we flew through for leave, but since we travel under orders not to drink, we werent allowed to buy it at all.

Though you could by the chocolate covered cherries that had rum in them and eat them......

sometimes the military makes no sense....

I had absinthe while I was in England. I didn't get the hallucinations but it made me drunk for two days...
