Has anyone ever drank REAL Absinthe?!


Question: Has anyone ever drank REAL Absinthe!?
not a cheapened version of it!.
tell me about the experience!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I have had many real absinthes!. My favourites are

Roquette 1797
Century Absinthe (100mg thujone)

The effects are more pronounced with the higher thujone levels and can be described as a heightened sensivity to colour, sound, movement and peculiar non linear thought patterns!. This is the thujone and the alcohol pulling against each other!. Alcohol and thujone are opposites - as alcohol is a GABA agonist and thujone is an antagonist!.

The experience is very pleasant and relaxing!. However that is by drinking one or two glasses at a absinthe / water ratio of 1:5!. If you over indulge with real absinthe you might not be so relaxed ;-) and the green fairy can turn into a green monster!. The idea with absinthe is not to get drunk but to experience the herbs - many people do get drunk on absinthe though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I had real European Absinthe years ago and the new varieties in the USA!. The difference!? The new ones tasted cleaner!.

As for the "experience": it's alcohol!. The experience was identical to drinking any other alcohol!. We louched sugar cubes into it!. We used water!. We even tried a bit straight up and in the end we could have bought some nice Scotch at that price and enjoyed ourselves more!. At least the new stuff is cheaper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah, 80%, 190 proof, two straight shots in a row, because i didnt know at the time you had to put sugar and water in it haha, dont rmember much after, was very drunk as i had lots of other stuff too, was in a nightclub (had the absinthe bottle in my bag, brought it home from lanzarote) so danced the night away n fell into a taxi after !.!.maybe it would have been different if i had done it at a party where your actually hangin out talkin, but caus it was a club i dunno


it burnt all the way down tho, you can feel the heat go thru you, your neck to your tummy

yeah!. It suuuucks!. There is no trip or whatever they say!. It's all bull!. It's just a lot of alc/volume!. It does not taste good!. If you try it once, you probably won't even want it again!.

It lights on fire though!. I took flaming shots of absinthe!. That was cool!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

My husband and I bought a bottle of it a couple of weeks ago!. A bottle of real absinthe!. But we haven't drank any yet!. I'm kind of nervous about it! lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

Yep!. It tastes like super bitter alcoholic licorice, and it doesn't make you hallucinate!. It will just get your really really drunk since it is usually 120-140 proof!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It was so strong!. for about 6 hours afterward everything I saw had a shadow!. Neon lines surrounded things and It seemed like I could see particles of light flowing through the air!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
