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

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!

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

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

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.
