No, it's a type of alcohol that's illegal in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

I've become fascinated with it now, and want to try it. I read it's over 60% alcohol!  :o

I wonder if odeon has tried it? Apparently it's sold in all liquor stores in Sweden.

Apparently it tastes like shit, so I've no interest in getting any - they sell it here also. if its a question of getting completely off your tits, i'd rather have bigger shots of tequila or decent rum than rocket fuel for its own sake - at least most normal spirits taste good. :happypuke:

I think the fact that it is illegal here is what has me interested in it. Also it's supposed to put you in a euphoric mood, which is always fun.

But if you were bipolar you would have the ability to achieve euphoric moods without aid.

But people with bipolar don't get to choose when to experience that euphoria.

I read the wikipedia article about it.  It's interesting.  I thought absinthe was supposed to be the reason Van Gogh cut off his ear?  I have never tried it, but I believe it is supposed to taste very bitter.  I think it is illegal here becuse thujone is a poisonous neurotoxin.  I have never wanted to try it, but I don't want to eat Fugu or arsenic either.  If you are desperate to try it, you could go to Quebec or Mexico.
