Absinthe is a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV), anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called “wormwood.” Absinthe is typically of a natural green color but is also produced in both clear and artificially colored styles. It is often called “the Green Fairy.”

Real Absinthe is made with herbs (and can be very dangerous is not mixed right) and tastes of licorice. It causes a "high" feeling and can induce hallucinations. It's a thick, cloudy light green color.

Modern Absinthe has been stripped of most of it's potency; it is now just a regular alcoholic beverage.

High ABV alcohol that some morons still believe is hallucinogenic or otherwise dramatically different than other spirits. It isn't.

its a little green fairy...

lol jkz no its a drink, there are 2 main kinds of absinthe, the normal one, and the one that makes you really f*cked up. most people refer to the latter though.

its an alchoholic beverage that is brewed in a particular kind of wooden vat, and as the drink is in the vat, the wood mixes with it and releases some kind of substance that causes you to hallucinate when you drink it. its illegal in most countries... if you've ever seen the movie moulin rouge, they have a scene where kylie minogue plays the little green fairy after they have been drinking absinthe.

i'd love 2 try it one day


EDIT: NOT ALL ABSINTHE WILL MAKE YOU HALLUCINATE. ONLY THAT WHICH IS MADE IN THE WOOD VATS. gotta know your alcahol mate...
