I cant say I've had it more than once. You cant get proper Absinth in the UK or most of the EU anyway, the woomwood is far too low, you'd pass out from the alcohol before you ever got any effect.
Are you sure Sebor has wormwood in it? I won some in a competition a couple of years ago and it just seemed like very strong (55%) alcohol to me. Didn't mention anything about wormword on the label either.
evil stuff
Woodworm isnt strictly a hallucigentic I'm fairly sure its actually a poison.
Correct. But then again, so is alcohol
I don't drink now though.
ohh you trust me
drink as much absinthe as i did on my brothers birthday and you'll hallucinate too
that depends there are some evil pretendy ones and theres the real thing the real thing has v. little alcohol in it :P
wormwood is actually alive it drills evil little holes into your brain and makes you go mad
Nah, 'real' woodworm still has a very high alcohol percentage, but with a higher thujone content. Woodworm being the other ingredient, with the active thujone causing the hallucinations..
does absinthe have a low alcohol percentage then? you've confused me with all this talk about worms.
I wasnt saying that you didnt hallucinate, I was suggesting that its actually a poison, not a hallucinagen. There is a clear difference.
And yes, I got it the wrong way round. But you know what I mean.
Stuff I get over here, can't remember the name, but its 85% alcohol (140 proof) and pretty mad stuff in high doses
I guess you're the man in the know, what exactly does % proof mean? It always baffled me.
I'm not sure why you think I'm the man in the know, I'm barely a drinker let alone a heavy one. (and I'm not a man)
Almost correct! From a google -

You lie!!
We had a 700ml bottle of 70% absinthe my brother had brought back from gran canaria (i think) between 4 of us (ok so it wasnt quite full but there was only me and my friend who drank it properly)! Needless to say we were absolutly trashed!!!
My brother had told me to go in his room and get it along with the half bottle of vodka that was there because he didnt have a chance to get our drink for us- when he got back the next morning and found both bottles empty he was in shock- i dont think he expected us to drink the lot!!
Anyway that night my friend full on hallucinated this little boy walking across the room and getting in bed with her and lying next to her- :eek2: !
I know you cant buy bottles of the stuff over here but its legal to serve it in bars- my friend is remembered by the bar man in town because him and a friend of his are the only people to spend a full night drinking it!!
Quick tip aswell....dont have a shot of 1/2 vodka and 1/2 absinthe- its V.v.v.v.v.v. nasty! :crazyeyes
