    I've drunk it quite a few times while at uni... quite expensive due to high alcamahol levels, but it's got a kick to it.

    Was often the case with mates at uni that if you turned up a pub or two late into the crawl then you'd have to shoot a double absinthe raw. Sets you up for the night that's for sure.

    Yeah it's nice.

    You can drink it the traditional way, with a sloted spoon and sugar cubes. Or, I normally have a teaspoon of sugar with a shot of Absinthe.

    Theres a brand of Absinthe with a high level of thujone in it, can't remember the name, but i know it's expensive.

    Only once while in Bulgaria. Never again. It was like taking LSD (alledgedly). The walls of the building I was in kept crumbling. Spooky.

    I don't know what the stuff that can be bought here is like though.

    Worm wood has been used by some cultures as a poison or in witch craft for seeing shit that don't exist outside some loonytunes head.

    It was legalised in Europe a few years ago. I've tried the original Czech stuff and I have one piece of advice - don't drink it neat! It's really not good for you.

    Hemingway favoured a cocktail called Death In The Afternoon:
    1 glass of Champagne (A flute)
    Dash of Absinthe
    1 Sugar Cube
    Pour 4 jiggers (large Dash) over a sugar cube into the Champagne until cloudy.

    Never tried it myself...
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Flirt with the green fairy at your own risk. Hard to understand the logic behind legalization, unless it's a lot weaker than it used to be...
