Its peerfectly legal in the uk (As I presume we can handle it) There is no 'trip' as its just and alcoholic drink!. Earlier brands in the 1800s had a lot more contaminants in them which along with the ingredient wormwood which is present in absinthe and gives it its green colour could produce psychotropic anomolies but now there are regulations on purification!. You can get Hapsburg Absinthe which is at 75 and 85% but the tastiest one for me is called sebor absinthe and it is at 55% as it has an aniseed base to it!. It does not how ever smell of drambuie nor does any absinthe!. Try it with sugar to soften the sharp taste!. put sugar on spoon and dab a bit of absinthe on to spoon!. Light sugar and let it burn til it is a sort of paste but do not burn it!. mix with absinthe in glass and neck it straight down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The only place that I know of to get real absinthe is France!.
You can get an alcoholic drink called absinth pretty much anywhere!. But what makes it real absinthe is the wormwood!. Wormwood is traditionally a medicinal herb, but in larger doses (like you would get from drinking absinth) it can make you hallucinate!. Wormwood can also make you die, and long term use can screw up your brain, which is why it is illegal in so many places!.
Most likely the absinth that you have access too is not the real thing, so it won't make you trippy, or anyting like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"Absinthe is an alcoholic liquor made from a blend of herbs!. Among the most popular herbs used for production are anise, licorice, hyssop, fennel and most importantly, wormwood (artemesia absinthium)!. Absinthe is also known as the Green Fairy ("La Fee Verte") and is often characterized by its green colour!. This green colour comes normally from the blend of herbs used, though certain modern absinthes are clear as well!.
Most modern commercial absinthes have high alcohol concentrations ranging from 40% - 70% (80 - 140 proof)!. However, most also have a low level of thujone (the active chemical in wormwood)!. Absinthes supposed special effects of greater clarity of thought and creativity comes from the mixture of the high concentration of alcohol and the mixture of herbs including wormwood!."
I do not think it is illegal and I have had it many times at different bars in Hamilton Ontario CanadaWww@FoodAQ@Com

Absinthe in a very strong tasting anis-based liquor (tastes like killer licorice)!. It was banned in France in 1915 because a prominent doctor studying the association alcohol-insanity claimed that drinking absinthe could result in loss of one's mind!. Obviously, a sip or two isn't going to hurt anyone; it is overuse of any alcoholic beverage that damages the brain!. However, at 90 to 144 proof, absinthe is one of those drinks that is easily and quickly OVERused!. It burns on the way down and it burns in the stomach, and personally, I can't understand why anyone would take a second drink!.
To see 'effects' of absinthe drinking see Monet, Picasso, or Degas paintings on the subject!. I particularly like the Degas, which shows the hopelessness and loneliness of alcoholism!. In those days, it was a cheap escape, and the poor and desperate escaped by getting wasted, as you put it!. Don't get wasted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It smells horrendous!. I have only smelled the liqueur - which is available in the US!. I have heard the real deal is a lot like blk licorice!. It has an herby smell like Drambouie though!.
There's a reason why it's illegal - you could easily end up with alcohol poisoning or death!. That would be a fun trip, eh!? Then people can start calling you "Charcoal Boy"!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's awful!. The smell is awful, the taste is awful!. It felt kind of foamy in my mouth!. If you like black licorice, you might like it!. Not sure where you can buy it at!. I got a bootleg version that a friend snuck into the country!. And the trip is just an urban legend!. It's not going to do anything that a bottle of Jagermeister won't do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
