What is Absinthe?!


Question:

What is Absinthe?

Is absinthe good? Is it legal? i've heard all sorts of rumors about it. How much of it can you drink before your passed out / drunk? How strong is it? i've heard it's really strong...?

..And why do they call it the green fairy?


Answers:

The real absinth is 90%, and is usually found in Eastern Europe. This 90% version is illegal in North America and most likely many other parts of the world.

However, you can buy the 50%-70% kinds in North America.

With the 90%. 1-2 shots and you'll be drunk.
With the 70%, it'll take about 2-3 to get drunk.
Thats for your average male. Women should drink less.

If you dont have a buddy keeping an eye on you, you could kill yourself.

Its called the green fairy, because its neon green, and it makes you hallucinate pretty bad.
