tee hee....

They said NAKED

Unfortunately, Absinthe must be "thujone free" to be sold in the United States.

Dude, we're Blown Eyes. Not only can we probably get someone to smuggle each of us a bottle if we make puppy dog eyes at them, but I'm sure we could also probably knock back a neat shot or five and still manage to remain quasi-bipedal.

The Young SGT brought some home from the Czech Republic once. Something about seeing the fairies...

With a review like that how can you pass it up?

They say Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Anna - Reports that thujone ascribes hallucinogenic properties to absinthe are a myth. It wouldn't matter if it was in absinthe or not.

What makes absinthe absinthe is, like any other alcoholic drink, simply the ethanol it contains.

Ascribing mythical properties to certain types of alcoholic drinks is an ancient and erroneous pastime. Drink enough alcohol in any form and you get drunk and sick. Go beyond that and you risk death by alcohol poisoning.

By the way, "absinthe" does not require a capital "a" unless it comes at the beginning of a sentence. Sorry, I'm on a grammar binge lately.

No problem on the grammar, Mark. But 90% alcohol rates a capital in my book. :)

Myth or not, traditional absinthe is not legal here, or in some European countries, because of the thujone content. I think it's a crock, but my thought doesn't really matter.

Right. I don't disagree that the thujone is WHY it's illegal. And that is stupid.

Who the hell is Mark?
