Tastes like shit, and you don't hallucinate.  It's pretty much like any other alcohol.  Anyone who says they see shit after drinking it is full of shit, just like people who say they see elephants and dancing faeries on acid.

Do you know why you think it tastes like shit.

Because you suck, that's why.

edit: Ok so maybe it's not the best tasting drink out of them all, but still, I reckon I've had worse

I've had it...  It's not that great.  Pot, ecstasy, morphine, and acid are better.

This is a drink that fits perfectly into the English drinking culture of "who can get pissed first?". I prefer enjoying alcohol when I have it, and getting drunk is by no means a priority.

Yeah but they don't get you as drunk, as fast
Being drunk isn't my goal when I drink.  I'm usually doing something else enjoyable while drinking, like dinner with my bride, party with friends whom with I'd like to have a meaningful conversation, and even while gaming.  Hence, I like my drinks to have a good taste and gradually move me to a buzz.  This in contrast to insta-hammered shots that render one completely useless.  Personally I don't see the point, but to each his own.

Edit: I am a father of 2 young children and not in the college party scene so this could be why I approach drinking from a different point of view.
Im still going at school and i think exactly like you...i never get drunk...get a good little buzz then its enough...Like you i prefer not to be laying on the ground completely useless.

Heard that the hallucinate part that some claims you can receive from drinking absinthe are quite a rare one and only in certain sorts... well i think that sounds mostly like BS. If some reeeally wanna hallucinate Inhale gasoline oxygen's that mess you up completely. However that´s also really fucking dangerous and should not be done under any circumstances your brain ( with other ) may take allot of damage.

I've had it without wormwood, just tasted like any other high-strength spirit/liquer TBH.

It's fine, in France we use to drop one volum in a glass, put a spoon with holes in it with a cube of sugar on the glass and drop five volums of very cold water on the sugar to make it fall as fluid in the absinthe (drop slowly!). Drink it before lunch is perfect.

Anyone done vapour inhalation with this? kind of like french way, only put out the fire with your hands and breathe the vapour that comes off when it burns in through your fingers before you drink it. It is legal here in the UK, but it is the pussy stuff, you can get the czech (sp?) stuff and the french stuff on order on the internetz. I had some (technically illegal) absinthe designed by marilyn manson (yes i know hes a fucking weirdo) called mansinthe, did the inhaling thing and got the rest of it down and then was out for the count for the rest of the night. When i tried to speak it came out as one long slurry word. i.e iiiiiiiineedshhhotaaaekkkapisssithinkssshshh good fun. The reason its supposed to make u hallucinate is from the wormwood and that its just a shitload of crazy herbs fermented until you can taste god... but it didnt make me hallucinate. Just fall over...alot.

Haven't tried yet, but czech is made from wormwood, is the strongest and is called absinth (without 'e') ain't it?
Shocking
sorry you feel that way
+333|6441|...
this is most likely the piped down version, the czech bottle has a warning label for side effects that may cause hallucination.

I never saw a warning label and me and my mates went through 10 or so bottles.

Thats how absinthe is done... you dip a spoon with holes in it with a sugar cube in the drink and stir then set fire to the top and down it.

Infact from the sound of it no one in this thread has done absinthe the way its meant to be done.
Booze is for drinking.  Chants, games, pretty colors and fun mixes, etc. are for chicks.
Drinking 80% alcohol straight is for morons who dont feel like having an actual night out.
