Absinthe

edited March 2007 in Social Entropy++
So hey, this may be best suited for H/A but I figured it was more of an SE++ expertise.

Im looking to import some absinthe, I've found a website that will do it, the bottles pretty expensive, so I was wondering if anyone had heard of the brand. I'd rather not pay muchomoney for crappy americanized absinthe that will be really, really shitty.

So what I've found is called Logan Fils Genuine Absinthe made the old way and Swiss La Bleue Suisse La Blanche.

Anyone heard of those? Good? Bad? Never going to find good real absinthe in america?

    dude, fuck absinthe. For less money and far superior results just get a bottle of Bacardi 151 and a few tabs of acid.

    This website, it's based in new york, so I'm assuming they ship within the US. Of course, I could be way wrong and this whole thread moot.


    I only started searching because I was at a gathering last night and some guy had imported a bottle, and he said he did it on the internet.

    I dunno, I had some homemade absinthe once. It was pretty fun. Different than other hard alcohols, at least.

    The one time my friend drank it he got thrown out of this restaurant we frequented for getting into a fight with the waitress, which is really out of character for him. Made for a good story.

    I've had absinthe before. Took about 3 shots and also had vodka, tequila and red bull.

    That... that night didn't turn out very well.
    Apparently some girl accused me of touching her ass.

    I mean, come on.

    Wait so you're maintaining that you didn't touch it?

    Was it a good ass at least?

    Absinthe fucked my girlfriend, raped my mother, and beat up my dad while I was forced to watch.
    Oh and it very well ruined one of my favorite musicians.

    Seriously my experience was that it made your body feel drunk but your mind stayed relatively active. I get a similar feeling from Everclear and Kool-Aid, so I mean really...

    Well considering it's still illegal to import or sell absinthe in the US due to the FDA's regulation of products containing thujone. So it's prolly fake anyway.

    It would have if I had a car. Instead, it did everything it could to prevent me from owning a car in the first place.

    For what you get, aren't shrooms safer and, with the assistance of chocolate or something, quite a bit easier to ingest?

    Bacardi 151 is cheaper, not to mention both less pleasant and more potent.

    Damn guys I was supposed to go to a bar tonight for someone's birthday, but not many people I like are going and I'd honestly rather stay home, get drunk and listen to Tom Waits. Hell of a lot cheaper. Am I a freak?

    Absinthe does nothing more or less than vodka, rum, or any other alcohol. Whoever tells you that it in anyway shape or form will cause you to hallucinate is a fucking idiot.

    From what I've heard Absinthe sold in the US is dumbed down or missing an ingredient or something.

    Meh -- it's just a different drunk like whiskey - vodka - tequila can be different drunks as well, that's all. It's not worth importing, but if it's available, go ahead and drink that shit.

    Seriously, you can homebrew the stuff with just some hard A and an internet recipe. It's fun, but it's not like the drinking scene in Dumbo or anything.

    The only difference is that drinking Absinthe makes you a fat goth.

    Not even the Europeans make real absinthe any more. You could probably get a little if you tried really really really hard. But even those liberal europeans realize that it is dangerous to purposefully poison yourself just for a little euphoria or hallucination.
