my mate paid 30 quid for half a litre of the stuff from fenwicks. its 85%. its total rocket fuel when u drink it after sambuca followed up with loads of beer
my mate got 2 bottles from the czech republic a while back, after the town we went back to his to play shot glass chess. we used absinthe and the fucker isnt the best chess player so i was having to down the peices i took. singles for pawns doubled for knights, rooks, bishops etc. ayway needless to say i won the battle but the absinthe won the war. we went through a fulll bottle of absinthe and into a bottle of bells whiskey. i vaguely remember leaving his and running through the streets with me mate playing an acoustic guitar , then i remembered being in a small boat which was on someones drive, after 10 minutes of pretending i was popey the sailor i tried to get out when i realised my legs werent working anymore thus i fell over and smashed me nice watch, then once in me mates house i remember playing or trying to play silent hill 2 for 10 minutes giving up then falling akip / passing out. woke up at mid day with cuts and bruises everywhere and a broken watch good stuff tho you will enjoy it
remember Kronenbourg Deco...1664 with a shot of 40% absinthe attached to the top...best stuff is the black 80%+ stuff from abroad likes
Go to prague and buy a bottle there... Its powerful stuff but most of the stuff you buy here is on the absolute bottom end of the absinthe scale. I dont think it has any wormwood extract in it either - which is what causes the trippy experience people talk about. Had a few shots with my lass in prague ... im not sure it was that or the skinful we had to drink, but it ended up being a fun night thats for sure.
the night van gough lopped his lug off he'd had nearly a bottle of the red stuff & he was smoking opium.. it get's people really drunk what ever else it does
Innit. over here people will buy it under the pretense of strong alcohol. I don't really see the point unless I'm going to get wankered on wormwood.
