I did for the 1st time tonight. It's illegal in N.America,
but there's this very cool club 'round the corner that sells
it by the glass.

some guys did it at my going-away party last week. You get
so wasted if you drink to much.

Illegal??? Strange countries there.
It's just alcohol...
Too sweet for me. It' s cool to see it burn. I like fire.
And burn stuff.

I suppose there are few things I haven't been drinking yet.

Also should try ABsynth from Native Instruments.

The original Absynth IS banned world wide, the original
strain of it anyway. Van Goch chopped his ear off while off
his nut on the stuff, there's an Absynth bar by where i
live, still to check it out.
The original was proper hallucanegenic in its day, one or
two glasses and you where nutted.

Brandy Alexander all the way for me, qorgeous drink

nice stuff, maybe im a pussy, but when i first drank it my
insides felt like they were on fire.
apart from that i don't do too much of it but a couple of
the weaker stuff gets you going. but then again so does a
whole bottle of wine, what do i know?

they were giving away free absinthe at the tate modern on
sat .
had loads - it was the picasso and matisse exhibition and
the galery was open all night and packed out.
i've got a bottle in my room from spain - i like it but only
with water and sugar - how you are meant to drink it

you can still get fucked off the french and czech stuff -
it's the wormwood that does it - it's banned in france but
they export it
here is the web for the main dealers in the uk who were at
the tate

i've had it a cupla times - strong little drink.

i've had a shot of some stuff that was meant to have quite a
bit of thujone - the label was DIDO or something along those
lines? Didn't do much, apart from warm my upper body for the
next minute or so.

I thought the effects of thujone only occur after
prolonged/regular use?

well wormwood is the bit that gets you tripping - me and my
girlfriend bought some camping the other week and we got a
bit spun out in the tent - it works just like mushrooms it
sends dodgy neural messages to yr brain cos your internal
organs don't deal well with it

Me and 2 friends shared a bottle of absinthe....that was a
bad experience. I was more than drunk, it had something else
than just the normal-pissed feeling, something much harder,
like if it really was a poison..(wich it is). Me and one of
the guys were spent hours kicking garbage cans in a park,
screaming that we wanted to be sober. the other friend was
completely knocked out, just drooling and stuff....

now that's what i call a party;)

with enough wormwood (the type you can order online) can you
make the "classic" absynthe that makes you hallucinate?

I'm sinking into some sort of stupour just rembering.

Yea I was laid up semi unconscious in bed for three days!

And that's only the half of it :-
What's being said about different strenghths I never knew...
And may I just add, just incase you do happen to get hold of
a bottle. It is impossible to stop untill it's too late.
If you're that curious go to one of these fair things where
I believe glasses are on offer.

HOLY SMOKES i tried it ONCE and only ONCE in a bar in
Prague....oye that place is NUTS.....=0)

it tasted like shite so i didn't drink much of it. the weird
GREENISH colour through me waaaaaaay off. i wanted to try it
cos i knew how much of an addict my fav artist Vincent Van
Gogh was and i was curious. plus it's banned all ova so i
thought if i don't try it now i never will. i heard from a
pal in vancouver that they sell it there now.....so i guess
the BAN is ova!
