from what i hear the real Absinthe is a brownish color not that green color in movies and tv. Also it needs to be prepared with sugar and water (correct? to those who have done real shots). Also I’ve heard it does nothing \<---- has done some research when I wanted a bottle but never did get any ---

And lol at a shot and a half. EDIT\_ I didn’t see BuickGN said this lol And its funny at all the “its crap responses.” You people thought you would be all out of this world? right… Absinthe is one of the best liquors you can drink. Taste is acquired. Best is homemade 😉 ---

whiteandblue had it right you get a slight high feeling at the same time as being drunk. to sum it up … it’s a very mellow drunk … if you can stomach it there’s diffrent kinds from the low quality checz which is the most potent to the high quality spanish with is relativley weaker. i like the TRUL which is a nice strong checz one. tastes like anise very strongly. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/sprfreek/100_1597.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/sprfreek/100_1597.jpg) it is however 140 proof and it will eat a hole in your stomach if you drink it to much right around 2 and a half bottles. i never saw shit once drinking it. i drank a quarter bottle by myself the one night and never “saw shit” however i was very very drunk and walked around a hotel near clifton hill naked. overall opinion … it’s good stuff for novelty in the bar and a good conversation pice. i ahve it sitting right next to the everclear and green label jack amongst other things. ---

> [@Xrunner](#): > > No one was seeing stuff… it was bs… some green bottle of liquor 55% proof… ok didn’t see your other question… no you won’t piss hot on a drug test if you drink this … it’s similar in chemical makeup to THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol) however it’s very diffrent also. so you get similar effects but not the same … the active ingredient in the absinth is the Thujon which is found in wormwood. if you want to “see shit” drink a lot over a long period of time. also look for an absinthe with a high Thujon content … a high content is usually between 30 - 34 mg per bottle. ---

> [@Freek](#): > > i like the TRUL which is a nice strong checz one. tastes like anus very strongly. Fixed! IMO the stuff’s gross. Well, I’ve never had TRUL specifically, but the black licorice tasting absinthe that I have tried was gross. Maybe if it was prepared properly… ---

meh it’s an acquired taste … like jagermiester, i used to hate it … there’s all diffrent things out there and peoples tastes are diffrent. however the majority of the people on this board aren’t big drinkers so i woulden’t say this would be a good place to get opinions on what kind to get … there’s plenty of booze connaisseur forums to check out. ---
