I've had it on a few occasions...
Incase you don't know what absinthe is, its an alcohol made from wormwood which is a hallucinogenic with THC in it. its usually a rediculous strength like 60-75% and has made several artists go crazy from drinking it too often.
First was last NYE. I finished a 500mL 60% bottle of it mixed with lemonade. It tasted quite good! It was a pretty wierd drunk as I had consumed quite alot (18 standard drinks if I remember correctly) but could still walk and talk normally. I found after a few drinks I got the giggles like I was stoned and it didn't give the quite the same effects as I usually experience but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The liquid itself was a very light green so I suspect that the hallucinogenic was almost non-existant so it could be sold over the counter.
Second time was a different brand and a bit stronger than the last one, weighing at 68% and a much much darker green colour. This time I shared it with a friend and we drank far into the night pouring it over the sugar cube, lighting the sugar cube and melting it into the shot...and not just that, we lit the surface of the shot, cupped the top of the glass and inhaled the vapour before shotting and chasing what was in the glass. We were obviously on a mission to get quite fucked up and fucked up we got! My girlfriend left the party because we were getting to sloppy and wierd drunk (as you would after having 20 standard drinks of this fashion in 2-3 hours).
The adventure began when me and my mate went for a mission through the suburbs to find a nearby park. I decided to put on a pair of flippers and strap a bodyboard to my wrist and walk to the park like so at 3am. I thought it was a completely normal thing to do at the time. On the walk, my friend was conviced that my girlfriend was still with us and he was having a deep and meaningful with her (in his head) and constantly needed to be reminded that he wasn't helping her with her shopping and that she had left over an hour ago. He would say some funny funny stuff too like "aahh they always play this song on the radio" (????). The park was a good fun with both of us acting quacky and both of us hallucinating into the night. Me, jumping on huge shrubs with my bodyboard then sliding off the side of it. I also found myself up a tree at once stage, still with the bodyboard and flippers attached. We snapped out of it after a couple of hours and ended up sleeping in my car. It was an awesome night.
The third was messy. 5-8 beers then back to a mates place and managed to finish half a bottle between two of us and we both couldn't handle it. He spewed then passed out half on his bed and I got outside the door to his units and passed out on the grass outside the door, after leaving 3 dribbled voicemails on his phone. I woke up to find out that I had spewed all over the front steps and my mates neighbour had cleaned it up while I was still sleeping on the glass next to it. Eeeeeek.
I don't know where to get absinthe in syd because isn't it supposed to be illegal? We don't want the places that do sell it to get caught out would we.....
