I used to get it from South Africa when it wasn't legal, but now it's legal I guess. I didn't know that until recently.

Ahh gotcha. Maybe they just don't have it in TX? I wonder why Spec's says *NOT THE REGULAR. (Spec's is a TX chain, cheapest prices I've found in TX.)I tried the one from France but did not like it. It was wayyyyy too sweet and Absinthe is already sweet. I actually still have some of the French Absinthe in my house but I don't like it, so I should probably just throw it away.
They had "fake" absinthe for a while in the states and it had no wormwood, which is why I got mine from South Africa. It definitely works now in the states. lol
The wormwood is what you're looking for. That's the mind eraser stuff.
For some reason I only black out on Anheiser Busch beers. IDK wtf they do to them but I've blacked out on Bush, Budweiser, Bud Light platinum, and combinations of any the 3. Other alcohol-related blackouts I've had don't count here though because I mixed Xanax with them haha. Seriously I've drank like half a 750 in a few hours and remembered everything. But throw in some xanax and the next thing I remember is waking up the next morning. Don't get me wrong, Bud Light Platinum is a strong ass beer, it's practically bud light with just a little everclear mixed in, but the hangover is downright nasty even after just a few I get insomnia and jittery like if I just drank 3 cups of Starbucks on a xanax comedown. Last time I had it thought I was gonna get a seizure or something when it wore off.I did manage to try absinthe in some bar in the south of France a couple years ago - it's illegal usually but they had some special license. It's literally the only time I got drunk to the point of blacking out completely. For the life of me I've got no recollection of that evening, I don't even remember if I liked it or not![]()
^ I can and will drink more of ANY other beer, but Anheiser Busch!! I've done way too much stupid shit on those I can't remember, and I didn't lay off that brand until I noticed. My dad's the same way so IDK. I tell him to lay off that brand he didn't even realize until I told him all the stupid ass shit he's done. No other alcohol has that mind-erasing effect on me, yet I have yet to try Absinthe. I don't like forgetting what I did the night before though. It can be rather inconvenient when people are pissed off at you, and you don't have a clue why.
I noticed some alcohol's give a worse hangover than others also. For instance I'll pay the extra few bucks for Belvedere over grey goose just to feel better the next day.
^ How does one go about getting absinthe?
Personally I drink Belvedere if I'm in a vodka-ey mood. But usually I enjoy TEQUILA.
My personal favorite:

And if you're wondering... YES I AM FROM TEXAS! :D
Oh trust me I know about the anheuser Busch black outs. I'm in the St Louis area so we get their beers cheap around here.
^ that sounds like a good time.Vacationing in Waco, TX? Traveling down I-35? Why not join us at the distillery and experience how we make our award winning whiskies and spirits? Call us Monday–Friday (254) 755-6003 and schedule a tour of the Balcones Distillery. We'll show your party around our distillery, explain how we make our spirits and end the tour with a sampling of our range
@ pagey ^ I'll drink a jack daniels if there's no TX stuff around. It's probably something just around here. Maybe like Oklahoma, Arkansas. I don't think it's a mainstream company as they give people samples and tours of the distillery. Hand crafted smaller-scale than JD I'd imagine.
If you're in TX, I'd say it's worth trying. Every bit as good as JD, but also stronger. 46% is their weakest flavor. I wanna do that free tour thing and sample ALL the flavors hahaha even a tiny little sample sip of each one they have should pan out to enough to get a buzz at least.
^that's good you stopped really man. it's taxing on the liver. I had to stop drinking liquor as I felt it taking a toll on my liver. Usually I just drink modelo out of a can, barely get buzzed off it unless I open up some tequila and start taking shots.
