no wonder they saw "green fairy"
;-)))

Forest, MikeW,
prime your livers for Saturday
;-)

Serge,

That stuff is pure EVIL....we'll it's evil when you decide to have some after drinking vodka all day ("The Day that NEVER Happened" as we like to call that one) or as we did in Canada once after drinking Gibsons rye whiskey all night. Anyway, sounds like your in for an insane Saturday evening :hic:

JohnV, I DID see the "green fairy"
;-)

..and this stuff is legal in USA, at least in their new version, first time since 1915
;-)

The only side effect I can think of is I woke up 3:30 in AM
;-)

...but my woman is happy, very happy
;-))))

Waking up at 3:30am after drinking the EVIL Green sauce, I bet your woman is very happy, VERY happy :bdance:

I still have near a half 1.5 l bottle left to drink... it scares me just thinking about drinking more of the EvilGreEn :hic:

Serge - can you give details please
What's the name and where did you find it?

I vaguely recall drinking some at Mardi Gras 2003 in Pirate's Alley

Uh oh ... so what you're saying is "dont make any fuckin' plans" for sunday?? ;-))) :hic:

MikeW, au contre....MAKE fucking plans for Sunday,
it's ALL good
;-)))

I found it at the local ABC Liquer, at "international" section, where they sell Averna, Jagermaister, Campari and other "exotic" drinks..

it's called:
Absente, about $40 per bottle, and if it's sold in a box- it has Van Gogh portrait on it
;-)

Vick, side note:
it's STRONG!
110 proof!

Thanks Serge

:hic: :agrin:

Vick,

This site is damn good...

http://www.absinthebuyersguide.com/

this is the stuff wit wormwood extracts yes?

what was the buzz like? were you hallucinating?

Correct, wormwood. Buzz was heavy...literally, I felt heavy both times I drank it....prolly drank way too much or not enough...I forget how that works :hic:

Absinthe as always been legal in Canada....

makes for interesting evenings...

Great link JohnV - thanks



What does absinthe do to you?
Absinthe is a strong alcoholic beverage.

Absinthe can have an effect that has been described as a "clarity" and a full-body high.

Chemist and absinthe expert, T.A. Breaux describes it as a push-me, pull-you effect of the various herbs, some have a heightening effect while others have a lowering effect.

Vick, just keep in mind that the one we can buy in US and what guys drink in Canada- are two different drinks,
one has halucigens and another doesn't...we are CHEATED!
;-)))

Absente used to be huge in NO back in the day.

I have never tried it.... Guess I need to soon!

I used to drink Goldschlagger like it was water back when it was like 126 proof. They pussified it a couple years ago and depending where you are it's anwhere from 73-86 proof now :(

you have my address, don't you?
I'll be keeping the bottle home from now on
;-)))

I had the real stuff in Prauge last year

Ill just watch you guys drink it

:blink: :okthumb:

Forest, did I ever tell you that you are a pussy boy?
;-)))

ALL I have to say is, after 3 times drinking it in japan in the early 80's and waking up in 3 different places, I havent touched it since :hic:

I am what I eat

:rolleyes: :groucho:

Yup, your story sounds about right....drinking the real deal from Eur. or CAD is a little rough on your system. I'd do it again though :ph34r:

yeah, I would prollly have to also : ) The 3 times were all three in a small jap bar in okinawa. woke up once in another unit's quarters :( then one morning at homeplate of our softball field and the worst was awoken one morning in a real qutter in town with a local going though my pockets...that was enough :hic:

what a man does for his country :salute:

If you watch Carnivale, it's what the blind guy (who used to be in "The Pretender") who can read minds drinks. Maybe it's what helps him read minds :)

Is it true that Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder?



Sorry I had to do it

:wnw:

Serge, i get shivers just remmembering it :)

Dig you light it up before drinking it?

Saw a bottle on a store on Decatur St the other day.. glad I did not get it : )

I dunno about heart, but it definatelly has a growing effect on one's dick
;-)))

nope...I know it burns
;-))

Russians do it in the dark
;-)))

i just overnight express ordered a bottle for AFTER the timerwolves VS the nuggets game 5 friday night

hmmmmmmmm

have had it many times

and it shows......brain cells are irreplacable,
once they are killed - they are dead forever
;-)))

Got mine from Prague and it is PURE evil very rough to drink around 160 proof on the stuff John and I have drank.

Toolz, what exactly have brought you into this thread?
;-))))

;)

I'd say "never again" , but I am old and know better.

;-))

but does the job :)

We should have cracked open my bottle with the wormwood Serge:)

I am off to Prague soon, lmk if I should try grabbing the wormwood stuff for you:)

I've never tryed it but I would like to... Is it legal in the UK because I've never seen it anywhere...
