I drink absinthe, cant say it's my favorite drink, but I still break it out and have a drink or two.

Had it at Bar Absinthe in Montreal. Over rated.



toggletoggle post by Randy_Marsh at Nov 7,2012 5:54pm
isn't there two different kinds, the US version and the European version?

For one, Absinthe is no longer 'illegal' (it never was in fact, but just recently some shit blahblahblah to many words to explain, just Google if you want all the details, but simply: yes real absinthe is readily available all over the USA right now including domestic distilleries).


The 'best' example of now-adays Absinthe I would say to start with though, would be anything from Jade:

Or, if you want something that you can easily find at almost any the liquor store right now than Lucid is the most 'authentic' that is super easy to find.

Though recently there has been many more options on the local shelves, at least around Boston.



Speaking of Boston and Absinthe, I would like to get my hands on some of this:

Mainline wormwood or gtfo

Had it threw times. Only one time was it properly prepared. Didn't really feel much to be honest. It was allegedly smuggled in from Europe. Honestly don't know much about it though so I'm not certain it was prepared correctly.

I dont remeber the specific name brands but they had about 7 different kinds from cheapest/least potent to more expensive/most potent. I tried at least 4-7. They did the thing with the sugar cube and fire over the bent spoon. On the rocks I think. Was several years ago.

From what I understand if you homebrew it you can do so in such a way to minimize the alcohol content and maximize the thujone content so you can actually trip. Most commercially brewed stuff has too high alcohol to thujone ratio so you just wind up getting drunk before you trip. I could be wrong. I have not drank enough of it/done enough reading ont he subject.

Had some with crazy Finns in California. Ended up blacking out and getting in a fight in San Diego. Stuff is pretty strong to say the least. Its not "hallucinogenic whatsoever, just a another booze that feels a tiny bit different.

was that the shit we had at Nicks?

Yep.



toggletoggle post by Boozegood at Nov 8,2012 12:41am
Yea it's definitly not going to make you 'TRYP BAWLZ' or anything, but it is a different drunk (up until the point were you are just fucking hammered, obviously) because of the STIM-YOU-LAYTIN' HERBZ, sort of like caffeine-booze is different than drinking no-caffeine booze.



toggletoggle post by Burnsy at Nov 8,2012 12:43am
Ah okay, yeah each time I only had the equivalent of a probably a shot. Would try it again having realistic expectations.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Nov 8,2012 12:46am
I love absinthe.



toggletoggle post by Yeti at Nov 8,2012 7:44am
overrated. however it was definitely a different drunk, and not necessarily a good one.



toggletoggle post by trioxin245  at Nov 8,2012 8:14am
I like the taste and feeling of absinthe. Ive definitely had PLENTY of times where I have been a lot more than drunk from absinthe. Shoes and I used to have a weekly absinthe ritual, of sorts. It doesnt make you trip, it's more of a mild but definitely present stimulant like a really low dose of ecstasy. Marilyn Mansons absinthe is useless though.

i drank some legit shit in Prague with my sister once...shit got real.

I've never had an experience like that on any absynthe i drank in the states... i think the locals we drank with in CZE dosed us.

I had some in Helsinki, no idea/can't remember if it was supposed to be any good. Got wasted and made for a nice hungover plane ride home.



toggletoggle post by ark at Nov 8,2012 10:13am
It is a different drunk and the ecstasy effect makes a lot more sense now.

Yes. The only time I ever got really twisted off of Absinthe was when I imported a brand from the Czech Republic.

No other 'sinthe has ever given me a similar effect.

My sister gave me a bottle that she got from Italy last year. It was some classy shit, and expensive. Ended up bringing it to band practice and waking up the next day to an empty bottle :............C

I got a bottle from CZ that rules.

Absinthe PM is aaron's favorite.

That sounds awesome... Kind of tastes like nitequil



toggletoggle post by Muffins at Nov 13,2012 9:04pm
makes you see stars. pour it over sugar cube + burn it. not worth it if from a major label, doesn't work.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Nov 13,2012 9:16pm
could you please post a video of the "burning it" method?
I've seen the non-burning method...

I had some from Germany and in a nip years ago. I think it had a picture of Poe on the front or some dude going insane. Can't remember if I had in NRW or not....The nip I had was a different buzz, similar to Moonshine, like I was drunk but totally fired up ready to run a mile fight and fuck everything I touched.



toggletoggle post by Muffins at Nov 13,2012 10:58pm
the bar i used to go to in Rome they would serve this green stuff to you with sugar, dunk the sugar and then light it on fire. then you go stare at the river for an hour until its time to go back and get more absinthe

Lucid with a balance set is $49.99 at nh liquor stores

The first time I even had absinthe was when a friend smuggled some home from a Euro tour in a mouthwash bottle. I have no idea what kind it was, it was from Prague and we drank it the way Czech kids had told him to drink it: take a shot in your mouth, swish it all around, swallow it, and then take the deepest breath you can. The cold-air-in-mouth feeling was so intense I thought my heart had stopped.

Did any of you ever have the stuff a CERTAIN BOSTON MUSICIAN AND BODYBUILDER was smuggling into the country years ago, before it got easier to buy in the States? Decent. I think we drank that while watching "The Holy Mountain" for the first time.
