Dont do it Marc mate. Me n Kenzil decided to give it a blast. Kenzil didnt even make it to the toliet and was :sick: all over........................me. F**king makes your stomach implode when you swallow it. Was in Ibiza and asked for a shot of Aftershock. Wiatress replied saying she didnt have any but would give me something similar. F**king palmed me off the Black, yes, black absinthe. Had to fight about 10 pints of salavia rushing into my mouth for a cupl of mintues with the aid of some heavy breathing.
i remember about 4 years ago when the only place you could get it was that fizzywigs or whatever in the metro centre. cost 50 quid for a bottle, blew mine and my mates head off but didnt make us trip so disapointed, we searched the net and there is a story behind it and how they changed it to make it legal. now if you can get your mits on firewater good luck to you!
Its not that bad to be fair lads!! Me, jess and my mate kate drank a load of it at mine once. Its mad its a different sort of drunk to say the least... You will have the trippiest dreams of your life. :angel3:
I've never tried it but I've heard its lethal. I'm pretty sure it's not the 'real' stuff though as that is banned. It doesn't make you trip like the original stuff does/did and isn't sold as strong over in the UK (legally). I might be totally wrong but that's just what i heard.
Anyone who buys it in this country is a mug, its so expensive they sell it in Discount Wine Centre on Chilly Road and its £30. I bought the EXACT same bottle in Barcelona a few years back and it was £4
Especially when we mixed it with Blue WKD! How young and foolish we were! *We'd definately still do that now...*
proper absinthe would have wormwood extract but its pretty rare to see that stuff. its the extract that could cause hallucinations but u wont find it in the shops. pretty horrible drink if u ask me. ive got a bottle of black absinthe and i dont fancy drinking it. we used to drink it when we were about 17 cos it got us wrecked, but its not exactly nice to drink,
Re: Absinthe Legitimate absinthe used to contain substances that are psychoactive but I think you need to drink that every day and become addicted to it like Van Gogh! (I think they banned those types now) I've never drunk just absinthe on it's own though so I couldn't tell you how much you need to get smashed but it doesn't take much at all! You'l definately enjoy it tho :bonkers:
You tell em. If you don't book a flight over to barcelona and back next time you fancy a bottle of absinthe you are indeed, a fool! I know what u mena thouhg, Turkey was about 30p per pint and spirits were't much more at all and that was just in bars.
