Absinthe. Ever heard of it? It's an old green alcoholic drink made from alcohol and woodworm oil...It makes you kinda dopey, like your on opium.... My friend got a bunch for a halloween party at his house tomorrow night. I found some good info on it. I cant wait to try it.

Its kindof a myth what it does to you. It just has a shitload of alchohol in it and gets you really drunk.

Real absinthe? Because in the states it is banned, or at least the woodworm oil is so there are knock offs that are just a high level of alcohol without the fun stuff. When my friend had a bf in Germany he would bring it over whenever he visited, I never had a chance to try it though

i got a buddy who brings it home from spain. good stuff.

we soak some sugar cubes in absynthe then put it on a spoon with holes in it over the shot, then we set it on fire and let the sugar melt into the shot. it takes off some of the edge.

you CANT get the real stuff at stores in US.

I tried it, it was kinda bitter. And it wasnt a knock off. It came from the Netherlands. It made me feel great. I dont know the name of the Absinthe I had, but it was the shit. We didnt mix it, or use the spoon, we just took shots.
