Hell, I would regard myself as a seasoned drinker and I generally steer clear of it :erm:
Yes, I'm definitely joking! I've tried absinthe once, and once only. It was a few years back at a friends house, I had one shot of it and was like "oh I'm fine!". So I had a second. BAD IDEA, I could barely stand.Quote:

My friend chose to have absinthe as her drink during a drinking game one Hogmanay.
Needless to say, she was out by 10pm.
Did the game start 9:45pm? :pQuote:

Go hard or go home.
(Wait, that doesn't sound right.)
Go hard, then go home.
(Better.)
Definitely not the same thing.Quote:

Highest amount of alcohol I've ever had, so I don't recommend it. Fairly sure it could kill you.Quote:

And unless you weigh at least 200 pounds, that will kill you.
something tells me that it tastes alchoholy. like vodka.
tubby_osprey said it tasted like something, but it was another thing i never heard of.
Absinthe tastes of anise, a herb that tastes a lot like licorice. It's a pretty thick, and light green liquid. It tastes more like certain types of cough syrup than lemonade. Proper absinthe can have 80% or higher ABV, but you're supposed to mix it with water and add some sugar as you drink it.
The absinthe I can get around here is only 55% so I drop the water when I drink it.
