mixers and spirits

Nope, just prohibitively expensive. You can buy certain types of absinthe here-ffs, you are in Sligo, get down to Foleys offy and have a look at the shelf behind the counter!!!
But be warned, a bottle of absinthe costs around €70.

winner.

Do you wear a dress while drinking this or will a skirt with a nice blouse suffice? For shame brother, for shame.

Jagermeister ftw.

Scary bottle...scary liquid....scary stag on the front....and it tastes like "burning black liquorice death"

Mix it with some Red Bull and away you go

I've been to Foley's off license before and never noticed the absinthe before although the only time I go there is when I'm on my way to envy and I'm sober (a scary thought indeed) and need a nagan to neck back in the queue. What type of absinthe is it. *Starts pratying to the Gods of alcohol it's the black stuff*

Absinthe - the drink of lunatics. My first time ever drinking a bottle of this liquid death, I did not realise how strong it actually was (80%). I ended up drinking half of the bottle in the space of 2 hours and spent the next 6 hours being the blindest drunk I have ever been in my entire life. I won't scare you with details of the hangover brothers.....

AlmightyCushion

Yes it is potent stuff.

It is to my great shame that I must admit to sometimes drinking rum and blackcurrant in my youth. In my defence, it did turn my teeth a nice shade of black on a given night out.

These days it's pints or shots, praise be.

I like the very masculine gin and tonic but never in a pub that doesnt have a free bar.usually on holidays..5 quid a bottle of gin,nice big bbq'd steak and sit at the harbour afterwards pissed out of my mind!

Its the proper green stuff with the absinthe lady on the label. Although perhaps they keep the black stuff out of sight??

€70 seems a bit expensive if it's only the green stuff. What percentage is green again?

brianthebard

65 or 70 percent. In terms of the beverages we might be used to purchasing it is expensive, but I believe it is cheaper than going to Spain or wherever to get the cheap stuff, as people have suggested to me before.

Anything that gets you merry is ok by me. Guys who are concerned with the 'manliness' of what they are drinking are pretty sad and probably gay.

It's not the 80% of the black stuff but it would be good for an occasion. Still €70 is pricey though. Might get a bottle for when I go back to college

A load of pints of either stout, carlsberg or bulmers. May have a gin and tonic after that. Not usually though.

TerrorFirmer

Vodka and blackcurrant is all I ever drink. No, I'm not gay.

First time I heard gin & juice I thought it was a pisstake, i.e. a slag "look at yer man drinkin gin & juice".

captain morgan spiced rum

Thats the stuff, and captain morgan dark is nice (pisses on that old seadog crap).
Rum is the best spirit, distilled from sugar based washes so has only trace amounts of methanol=no cogener hangover.

and pirates are on the bottle
