apparently it can be found in the US.. 2 months ago

but the guy who bought it wouldn’t give any details about how or where he bought it.. he did say that it has to be French.

I just had a little sip, because I had to drive.. it seemed like it made everyone else (who had an actual drink, not a tiny sip) really giggly & more sensitive to light & sound.

it tasted like licorice.

I live in the US 2 months ago

so I have absolutely no idea how to do this, outside leaving the country…
The stuff here isn’t technically what I’m going for, since the United Sates is Thujone free.



French Absinthe 4 months ago

I drank a glass of well diluted and sugary Absinthe. The taste was herbal. :-) Not bad… I didn’t want another one immediately, though.

According to Bernard from Black Books this is ‘the drink that makes you want to kill yourself’... I’m just curious!

I tried absinthe in New Orleans. Made the traditional way and poured over a sugar cube, the whole deal. Bleech! It was neither sweet nor bitter, just kind of an oily, licorice flavored alcohol with no addictive feature as far as I was concerned.



Finally did this 7 months ago

last night at Quentin’s party. If I may quote Nelson Mandela: “Never, never and never again…”

The first time i tried absinthe I have no memory of it. In fact a few months later when I stated to a friend that i wouldn’t mind trying absinthe, she looked at me like I was ‘slow’ and filled me in of what my mind had been trying to shelter me from.

Of course being far too drunk before I even had the absinthe in the first place didn’t help, and so i decided to give it another go when slightly less inebriated.

I then promptly forgot about it until i was in Moscow this year.

Earlier in the night I had only drank one glass of wine with my meal, and so when we got to the bar i was feeling more in the mood to drink and wanted something to catch up with my friends who were already well on the way to being drunk. Looking over the menu, absinthe seemed the perfect choice. The novelty of being able to order 100ml shots in Russia had not quite worn off and so three 100ml shots of absinthe later [followed by a few vodka shots] I was just as drunk, if not drunker than my friends who had been drinking beer and vodka for the past 3 hours. The taste was unpleasant, but no worse than tequila, but the after effects are much stronger. I would describe what I remember from the experience as being not unlike a stimulant. At the begining of the night I was inebriated while still feeling clear-headed, then later in the night when everyone else had passed out I found myself unable to sleep. After lying in the dark for an hour with my mind racing, i decided to read a book. Why I thought i could read a book is not clear to me right now. Suffice to say the book was a blur no matter how i held it and i don’t actually remember getting in bed.

I would try absinthe again for sure

I found a bottle today in a liquor store called “Lucid.” It purportedly has real wormwood in it (which many brands, especially in the US, do not), and no artificial dyes or flavors. It is made in France. The bottle was pretty cool looking, too, with a pair of green eyes on it. I’ll have to do a little research and see if I can find out if it’s a good brand. I don’t want to waste $60 on something that won’t give me the real experience.

there is a period of time in mexico that I still have no memory of …. but it certainly provided for some pretty hilarious stories. relayed to me, of course, once I regained conciousness.
