Just bought a bottle of the stuff. for £20 quid... UGH!!! how gross is this stuff!!
I was curious, as ive never tried it before and theres loadsa hype etc. but i really cant get it down my neck, which is a shame cos it could be fun seeing the 'green fariy' :D
I can sort of do it with sugar and canada dy, it seems to be less tasteful...
but just tried it with coke and just had to hold my nose and down it almost being sick..... boy what a waste of 20 quid!
Dreadful stuff, just force it down and be done with it! :D :thumbs:

Its best to drink it in real small (and I mean REAL SMALL) shots without actually hitting the sides of your mouth or your tongue.
Works for me <hic>
BTW does the bottle you got have a warning on the bottle as its lethal stuff.

You're best bet is turning the lights off first ;)
buy a carp bottle, and it is terrible.
and, i'm sorry, but £20 is too little to pay - that is almost certainly a crap bottle
sorry :(
if it tastes like aniseed balls, you're on to a better one.
and ihave drunk 8+ shots of the 80% czech stuff in one and still never seen the fairies :(

There's Absynthe and there's Absynthe. Not all of them are that bad. I've had some and it gets you pissed right enough but the halucinations? That's a myth I think.
I do have a bottle of Mezcal with a worm in though.....

Fraid so, the fool!
He couldn't do anything except sit there and drool aimlessly. Not sure what happened to him as I was only a temp worker and I left that day. There were mutterings as I left that someone should take him to hospital for an old fashioned stomach pumping if he didn't come around shortly. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yeah the stuff i have has a warning and its 79% ?
It tastes of pure annaseed balls its horrible!
And i understand its the wood stuff they mix with it that makes you hallucinate, some smoke the stuff too!
I had a big shot earlier and i could see how it would make you see stuff, i thought the cat was an elf for a second lol!
Im not gonna give up though, maybe get drunk 1st then down some so i cant taste it, either that or i put ice cubes on my tongue....

Not anymore my friend...
though where are you, cos Im on about England...
And Tesco's :)
You cant buy the good stuff (with wormwood) over here, though you can get it on the internet and import it. I got stung £25 for customs duty. I've only managed one large glass of this at a go, with no fairies i'm afraid but felt horny as fcuk for an hour or so. Ended up rubbing my bell end raw. Put a smile on the face of the misses though.:thumbs:

cheesegrater?
rofl ouch.
The key to Absynth is the Wormwood content. In most of Europe there are strict contol on the amount found.
Got myself a bottle of 80% Czech Absynth. But aniseed is truly vial.
One classic way of drinking it is to pour a shot into a small glass. Then place a sugar cube over a strainer and slowly drizzle cold water through the sugar cube into the absynth. This should turn the drink into a cloudy hue. Drink and try to hold it down.

yeah as instructed on the bottle.... HOWEVER I found if you tip the sugar in the absynth, and fill the rest up with canadad dry you cant taste the anaseed (well hardly anyway.)
Dunno what the wormwood content is, but could do with finishing 1/4-1/2 a bottle and see what happens :D Could find an easier way to hallucinate though and for less than £20 without the oribble taste;)

With the amount of wormwood in the stuff tescos sell, you'd need to drink 10 bottles before you hallucinated. :p
Pernod is concidered by some as an absynthe, but not illegal.
The really good stuff can be found in prague, the stuff sold elsewhere on the continent is not supposed to be up to much, lthough the Tunel one is pleasant to drink ;)
