Absinthe contains hallucinogens, IIRC.

 

[Fausto]

It's really nothing that special. Very high alcohol % and that's about it.

Go for it. Where did he get it? It's regulated in some countries in Europe just as it is in Canada here to the point where there is so little thujone (wormwood stuff) that you'll get insanely stupidly drunk before you start to feel the effects of the wormwood. You can get stronger stuff though that apparently makes you hallucinate.

what the hell is it?

 

[laurenlex]

I think the folks that made "Alice in Wonderland" were drinking absinthe.

 

[Anubis]

yes, unless he paied out of the ass for it it wont have mych of the stuff in it that makes you see thing, its just like any other really strong alch

 

[Ketteringo]

high alcohol content, that's about it. don't do shots if you have a weak stomach. it's a different kind of drunk, but you won't hallucinate unless you psych yourself into it.

Get ready to Trip Out! (swirl of hippie colors to follow)

 

[haveblue]

Go drink some and come back later and post, and we'll all try to guess what you're trying to say!

 

[Mo0o]

It's really not that big of a deal. It tastes like licorice alcohol.

no its not, if it has enough wormwood in it it will make you hallucinate,

 

[PHiuR]

go for it. I want to try it. I heard that you should get a sugar cube and pour the absinth onto it.
