Hello :) Yes absinthe is alchohol, its very potent, around 70% I think.. Its bright green, tastes of aniseed and is made by soaking dried wormwood in ethanol alchohol, along with some other herbs. It is said to be hallucinogenic, though I still need to test that theory myself
:D

like liquor?
how much should you take then that might equal like 1 can of beer or something

[SensiRide]

Well here in Glasgow, you are only allowed 2 shot glasses of absinthe per bar. I guess it would take you about 5 or 6 shot glasses to get really out of it! Dont be drinking the whole bottle or anything though! Remember its almost twice as potent as vodka and I have trouble drinking straight vodka!

[laurajustlaura]

damn :D i don't know how much to start with, i can't take a lot, 1 can of beer is enough for me

[SensiRide]

If 1 can of beer is enough, stay away from the hardcore stuff! lol :D

[Nullific]

Abisnthe also contains thujone from the wormwood.

:D if i could get beer i would, what's like alcohol but you can get easier (when you're under 21 :( ?)
absinthe was the 1st thing i thought of

21 for alcohol!? Sounds like USA lol. Poor you, you can't even get a can of beer (not your fault though, they should lower that instead of doing shit overseas.) Anyway until you mentioned that 21 thing I was kinda wondering where you lived. I live in cananda and even some 14 year old can get a can of beer (with help from 18+) so if you can't get anyone to buy you alcohol then I don't think you'll be able to find absinthe (it's kinda hard to find in US/canada) because its illegal. In places like Germany they permit up to 80% alcohol or around there so absinthe is legal, but in North america.... I've never heard anyone around here that got absinthe. (but in canada salvia IS legal hehe, or at least never heard it wasn't). Anyway, good luck finding absinthe! (btw, I don't know exactly how much absinthe is a can of beer but if absinthe is 70% and beer 4-10%, then it's like way less than one shot...)

Peace,
Dewave.

If you live in the states and you're under 18 check out salvia or dxm.

Absinthe is more than just alchohol, a shot glass of hard liquor is about equal to a beer, but there is something else in that stuff. As to what it's like, Um, a drug I need to try, I'll have to do something about that.

itd be easier getting a case of beer than it would be getting absinthe. you sound like a lightweight. absinthe would wreck you.

[highjinx]

black absynth is fucking crazy-90%.....mental!
i can drink a shitload but this stuff takes the piss!

[Tholiak]

Absinth is nothing more than Alchohol mixed with various herbs(anise, licorice, hyssop, veronica, fennel, lemon balm, angelica and wormwood), IF you mix it with Ethanol Alchohol, youll get one result...Death. Its always good to research on your own then listen to the 20 year olds on this forum that think they know everything about everything. It has been assumed by many that the so-called "active ingredient" in absinthe is wormwood, although that is apparently not really the case.

The Green color of Absinth comes from the chlorophyll content of the herbs, BUT some bootleggers will add chemicals to make the green, and they have been tied to Death also.

1 can of beer is all you can take? That doesnt even get you tipsy does it?? And how old are you? You have to have friends who have older brothers, or something, that can buy you alcohol, its not hard to get at all...

[highjinx]

uhh thanks for clearing that up tholiak. :rolleyes:

[EternalEnemy]

Here in Finland drugs are rare, but i know people who have been drinking since like 11-12. Yeah, we finns are drunken fuckers.

Also getting alcohol is really easy for a minor. I dont know how it is in America, but here every second drunken guy will aid you for like 3 or 5 euros.

[jbuckets]

absinthe is 140 proof...i can get completely fucked off 5 shots of 151 so go for 5 or 6 or 7 ...KNOW YOUR LIMITS ... lol gettin sick next day sucks be carful

[CannabisGeorge]

Isn't absinthe also hallucingenic which is why it's illigal in the states? Or just a myth?
