350 ml of Absinthe 80% - insane headaches this morning

[precious007]

I basically never though this stuff could be so tough, I don't drink much

but last night I just said, why not lets have some fun (ended up feeling like shit at about 3 AM

while still in the club.

This stuff can basically kill you if you drink more than 500 ml I'd say..

Anyone had experiences on absinthe ?

[Nuusku]

Absinthe is good for you.. What kind of absinthe did you drink? I remember drinking something what had some drug inside it..
I think i have drank about one whole bottle in my life. Not more.

[Nuusku]

It was called Tujon or something.

[precious007]

I'm not sure which one it was..... they served in small shot glasses and it was kinda' warm -


I think it's the regular absinthe -

Dude, 350 mL of 80% Absinth is almost equal to one bottle of vodka. No wonder you feel like shit. My liver already shivers with the idea of processing that amount of liquor. ;D

Strangely, I have never tried Absinthe in my whole life, but I like italian vermouths (who also make use of the Absinthe-plant), and a week ago I've bought some seeds of Artemisia Absinthium. If it grows well, I'll try to mix it with wine and korn.

The neighbours will probably think that it's something else

For starters, absinthe isn't made to be chugged down in shots.

The Proper Way To Prepare Absinthe In Society

Second, I bet they didn't even louche the drink (especially since they served it to you in shots; which is ridiculous to begin with) -- and I'm almost willing to bet that it wasn't even true absinthe being served.

Here is a true absinthe that I enjoy from time to time:

Next time, take it sloooow and make sure you're getting the real deal served the proper way, otherwise it ruins the whole experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Absinthe

[sgreger1]

I had a nice bottle once from Mexico that I bought. It's the wormwood in it that acts as a mild hallucinogen, though I didn't experience much. I just got really ****ing trashed and don't remember much. Like with any alcohol, if you feel like shit today than just drink a lot of water and you'll be fine.

It's strong as shit, 350ml of 80% is going to have you feeling pretty bad today for sure but you'll be fine. And it really isn't meant to be taken in shots. Some put it in sugar cubes and caramelize it, makes it more potent or something.

Yup, that plant does remind me of another plant chainsnuser ;-)

me neither - didn't hallucinate or anything, lmao

and I wasn't anywhere near SHARP MINDED - I basically felt like crap even on absinthe (well at the beggining it was ok............. then it gradually got me to vomiting)

definitely won't drink that much again
