Re: absinthe

i've never been hung over from absinthe... and i have hallucinated on it.

i've also taken one shot of it and been completely wasted.

i love the stuff. dunno much about the quality of stateside bottles though...

Re: absinthe

not recommended. Soul-crushing hangover not worth it...

Re: absinthe

and a MASSIVE hangover. took like 2 shots one night before going out, really didn't drink much more and felt awful the next morning.

Re: absinthe

^sounds like instead of buying Jaeger and Absinthe, i should buy myself a bottle of green NyQuil and do a little q-trip.

Re: absinthe

it doesn't make you hallucinate...it just makes you drunk a lot faster than other alcohols. There are many sites out there that will alude you to Absinthe's history and you'll find out a ton.

And no it tastes nothing like Jager. Jager has a madicine taste, where as Absinthe just takes like Black Licorice.

Re: absinthe

anyone try this now that it's available stateside? thinking about buying a bottle tonight. recommendations welcome.

I've only had the real stuff in Europe, smuggled 2 bottles back. Black and a Green one. Fecking great twisted times I tell you. One suddenly gets a moment of clarity and everything look really in focus; it's all downhill from there though.

Just in case someone says pic or STFU:

Re: absinthe

I thought it was supposed to make you hallucinate... You're saying the US stuff doesn't make you do that, and it tastes like shit? What's the point

[thesightless]

Re: absinthe

so is it like jagermeister?

worse by a ton.

this shit is worse than any medicine you had to take as a youngin. and the US shit doesnt do dick. you want the "real" stuff... go to amsterdam.

Re: absinthe

lucid is the big brand here in new orleans. it's made here and supposedly top-notch, but i always think about grabbing a bottle at the worst moment.

Re: absinthe

Lucid is the main one in the states right now. Started by the guy who does the most expensive of the French Absinthes. I tried some and the black licorice taste and the anise was so overpowering that it really made my tastebuds go....EEEEEEEK. I haven't tried it since and i'm really glad to have not spent 100$ on a bottle from Europe.

If you like Black Licorice, you will probably like this drink.
