10:52 It's possible. there is a special way to prepare it which involves pouring it over sugar.. but when you do that and you drink a lot, hallucinations happen.
Absinthe is the shit. Taste like licorice. YUM.
I heard of a girl at University in Hamilton and was mixing vodka and absinthe, she went missing the whole night and fell down the bank into the Waikato River. Full true story too that girl could drink!!!
LOL i know who your talking about JACKY REUBEN lol she was in the dorms with me funny as what happened..the next morning was even funnier how she found her shit on the bankside. She could drink though pretty much anything.ha ha
10:48, sir you are a dumbass. Legal US absinthe is not the real deal. It's not even close. I'm American, and proud of it, but you do not know what you are talking about!
I think everyone is underestermating the ability to binge on stupid amounts of alcohol that us Kiwi's have. The only people that can keep up are Australians. i believe you!
12:13, preparing it with sugar does not bring about hallucinations... it's just the traditional way of preparing it. People only believe absinthe leads to hallucinations because it contains a small amount of the chemical thujone, which has slight psychoactive properties.
As for alcohol toxicity... yes, hallucinations are a symptom, however, that does not mean that hallucinations are strictly caused by absinthe, but merely by a high level of any alcohol.
1:27...coulda sworn the last time i was in New Orleans and at "The Old Absinthe House" the bottle that they took out from behind the bar said IMPORTED FROM FRANCE! So i do believe that I do know what im talking about!
NO WAY did you do nine shots of absinthe and survive. Sorry, but that just doesn't happen if you're using the real stuff.
And as for hallucinations... it's all a myth, or exaggeration at the very least. Sorry guys, absinthe just gets you REALLY drunk.
absInth? maybe even absInthE? dumb.
but in all fairness, absinthe is amazing. Don't get cheap stuff though, it's the equivalent to dubra in shitty alcohol=shitty black out and hangover
