custom36 4 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm sure you know but don't care, but just in case: It's illegal to bring real absinthe into the US. I'm OK with you doing illegal things though, so bring me back a bottle? Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Does that apply to Canada too?Because whenever I see a Hockey av, that's what I assume. Hockey and sodomy; these two things, I think Canada. Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I got trashed drinking this stuff a while back (the bottle was like $150?). The buzz was super weird, very warm and mellow and ridiculously strong. Nothing like a regular drunk buzz imo. You'll see. And you better like black licorice too because it's like drinking a glass of melted Good n Plenty's.We ran out of sugar cubes half way through the bottle so we started mixing it with ice cold mountain Dew instead. Super fun night....and I was sick for almost a week afterward.All hail the Green Fairy.... Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Did the Mt. Dew help?At that point we would have drank it with gasoline.The sugar overload was near diabetic coma inducing levels and is no doubt part of why I was so sick later on. Link to post Share on other sites
DinkDonk 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I kind of like the high of real absinthe. It's somewhere between being normally drunk and as super mild acid trip. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 And you better like black licorice too because it's like drinking a glass of melted Good n Plenty's.This was my problem the one and only time I tried absinthe...I hate licorice so couldn't get past the first sip of it, didn't bother trying to dillute it any further than we had doing it "the right way" with sugar cubes and water. It would probably be passable with Mt. Dew, but then, what wouldn't? Link to post Share on other sites

uncooper 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Absinthe has been legal in the US since 2007. It is subject to the same regulation (10mg/kg thujone) as in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites
