Jimmy Lucifer Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Flash, I odn't suppose you can remember which of the three Absinthe's Mel bought for myself and Chris on Firday can you? It was a pleasureable drinking experience I'd like to repeat. Escpecially when I get my student ID. Hot dang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hmm...this sounds very tempting. I'm partial to a bit of Absinthe now and again as some would testify but I don't have the time (nor indeed money) to locate and purchase the "good" stuff. I may make a visit next week once I'm off on-call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rass Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Absinthe is a digestant and paracide (it kills malaria).Wish i'd known that when i was 7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I was informed by Mark on Saturday that the new Absinthe is...and I quote..."disgusting."Two thumbs down then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Right, Im going to the Moorings on Saturday. No doubt my attitude will be "I can handle shit loads of drink, this absinthe will be no probs" but really, I will most probably not remember how I got home.

Afro Droid Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The effects hit in 10-20 minutes depending on how much you've eaten' date=' and are much more pronounced that we anticipated. Your body temp goes up a notch (very pleasant), and you feel happy and calm. People tell me that the feeling is not dissimlar to things they may have smoked once in the past. [/quote']It was certainly more 'druggy' than other absinthe experiences I had. Or so I'd assume, ahem, ahem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the glass was full up then you had it diluted with 5 parts water. It seems that most people prefer it 50/50 though.If you have student ID and come on a Wednesday then you'll find it incredibly cheap all day, as is all the other 'specialist' grog.

Flash@TMB Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I can verify that it does make an excellent digestant. Have heard this claim made for other drinks but this stuff really works. Had a big evening meal last night then sipped a Nouvelle-Orleans Absinthe whilst watching the movie. Within 20 mins felt this big welling up inside me, and up popped this fast but explosive belch, followed by 2 more over the course of the next 10 minutes. Afterwards all the bloating feeling was gone.Must remember this next time I eat an Indian meal! I'd class it right up there with digestive enzyme tablets.

layla Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 wasnt too keen on drinking absinthe on friday but was forced into it. it doesnt taste as bad as i thought it would, managed to avoid getting totally wasted by knocking over my second glass with my chest whilst standing at the bar. such a waste but at least i remember getting home this time.
