Maybe you mate doesn't like you.
Or your shoe doesn't like you.

Don't blame the absinthe!!

I think it's a drink. Boring people consume it to look wacky.



That includes you, reader. You're boring. Develop a personality instead of relying on novelty foreign drink anecdotes to make friends.

Absinthe causes your shoe to attack you, but Psilocybin causes your shoe to take the form of a enormous pink frog dressed as a judge who will go on to deconstruct your understanding of the world with waves of impenetrable logic.

Or, deconstruct your ego and transport you to the ninth circle of hell.

hahahah unreal

Jose Jones

my friend just picked a fight with a rugby playing mate that's built like a tank and has now run out of the house singing jibberish

I once knew a girl who ended up in hospital after drinking the stuff. Told me the next day that her drink was spiked, her Bebo said otherwise - friends calling her the "shot queen."

rossie1977

i love how in prague they have pictures of vincent van gogh on the bottles of absinthe, as if to say, drink this and end up cutting off your ear

sounds a bit ghey..........could he not find his handbag????

jimthemental

That stuff made bits of me once or twice. I will never touch it again. Only meth from here on out to play it safe.

stovelid

I read a deeply fascinating article about it in an in-flight magazine la fortnight ago but have forgotten the gist of it now. It was about some guy that makes it in the old fashioned way with the correct historical machines and that the vast majority of what is sold as absinthe is basically industrial alcohol with food coloring.

kylith

The weird thing about absinthe is that you don't get drunk, you just go mental. Got trashed on the stuff years ago and wound up trying to get rid of ant nest with an improvised flame thrower. The campsite manager was not impressed.

jimthemental

Industrial alcohol is for the most part ethanol with a small addition of methanol to make it unsuitable for drinking so I doubt that goes on a shelf. Ethanol on its own with some water is no worse than poitin and doesn't cause the same degree of hallucination. I'd love to run some absinthe through a lab and really find out what's in the stuff because I've been fairly far gone on drink a couple of times but never as destructive as after absinthe.

Sounds like you need a better drinking partner!
The absinthe you can buy now is just strong alcohol around the 70% to 80% mark, all it will do is get you very drunk, very fast, plus it tastes like piss, it's really not worth the effort.
The original stuff had wormwood in it which is what made it a mild hallucinogen, which is why it was so popular with artists like Van Gogh and Touluse Lautrec, but it also had the side effect of causing pemanent insanity in a lot of cases.
These days there are much easier and safer ways to trip if that's what you're into!

anniehoo

Its one of the mankiest drinks ever, dont go near it :eek:

FatherLen

your mate is definately putting on a show. have had absinthe and it makes you do nothing like this. either your a liar or your friend is a liar.
also it tastes like shit. burning shit.

Jose Jones

My mate was back on the absinthe tonight.

he was grand actually, i think he's getting used to it.

forced me to listen to divine comedy and max richter but sure it's better than another beating... or so i tell myself

Bought some for a house party I had and we did shots, nobody went psychotic just drunk.

Jose Jones

Bit of lemon is all you need.

on the rare occasions that i do drink alcohol i usually attack inanimate objects such as school railings and toilets but sure each to there own.

Arnold Layne

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,..........as well as your knob the morning after

TouchingVirus

Snort it, it makes you think your nose is bleeding for a good hour.

PeakOutput

unless you can get proper absinthe its just another spirit, most people drink the crap stuff and then just placebo themselves into a crazy night
