Advantages: Gets you smashed very quickly, It's Green..oooooh!
Disadvantages: Gets you smashed very quickly, VERY expensive
"How dare he say that?, van gough cut his ear off while smashed on this!"
Yup, i can hear you all saying that but to be honest from my experiences with this mint-green drink thats what i've come to find out (i've tasted several varietys of this stuuf and found that although it does get you VERY drunk VERY quickly thats about it, now i'm not saying those people who state they have gone on 'trippy' rides after downing this stuff are lying but i take those opinions with a pinch of salt.
Firstly i once necked about 5 shots of this stuff in one go, did i get drunk? YES! did i cut my ear off/see flying elephants/think i was on the moon? NO! It's just not true in none-lethal volumes! I'm sure if i drank enough of it i'd be flying somewhere but i'm sure it would only be 'towards the light' after the paramedics not pumping my stomach fast enough!
The drink itself tastes quite like ouzo, you either love it or you hate it, there's no in-between with this stuff, personally i like it, you get the aniseed-like taste as it slides down your throat followed by the "oh my god it burns" feeling (which can be fun depending on your sadistic intentions) as it hits your stomach, one favourite of mine is too breath in deeply afterwards, gets 'em every time! This sorts the men/women from the boys/girls!
THis stuff is not cheap though, at over £30 a bottle from some places it makes you wonder whether you might as well go and buy a few cheap bottles of vodka seeing as you aren't gonig to savour either and after a few shots you'll be comatose on both drinks!
Overall it's a nice drink, you can't take it on a quiet night in though, its something you can only drink when your on one of those 'lets see who gets admitted to A&E first" drinkathons with your mates, you HAVE to neck it no question, anyone who sips is either mad or thinks its tea (which is a hard
mistake to make)
For taste... 8/10
For alcohol content... 9/10
For ear-cutting'ness 1/10
For fun value with your mates 8/10

- 05/03/03 I personally am a fan of absynth, It's a good drink to make even the heaviest drinkers choke.
My favoirite tricks are pouring two shots and then drinking yours allowing the other person to attempt it themselfs (for the first time), making deadly coctail shots with it and garggleing with it to show that it's not THAT bad.
Personally I do like Absynth, but then again I like Extra Hot Tobasco Sauce as a food dressing (don't get me wrong I have very sensative taste buds)
Thanks for your time and I hope to have convinced a few others to make the plunge...
