On my last day at uni last year myself and three mates went for a drink around our campus bars. As it was the end of term we all have **** all money and so decided to pool together to buy a bottle or "the nastiest stuff behind the bar".
Out comes this 0.75 litre bottle of green stuff that had been brought back from Turkey by one of the bar men. Being all macho we also had a couple of shots of 'Julia' - a Turkish whiskey.
Four shot glasses and we were off...
2 hours later, having polished off the bottle, none of us could walk - we had to crawl back to our rooms half a mile away. I'd snapped a pool cue over a mates head and nearly knocked another unconscious with an empty beer barrel. I also decided it would be a good idea to phone my g/f and propose to her, only to phone her back half an hour later to call it off
(goes without saying, we're no longer together 
)
For some reason there was a metal cage with wheels, like those you find in supermarkets, hanging about - in a wannabe Jackass mood we all climbed in and pushed ourselves down two sets of stairs - result: one broken thumb and a badly damaged ankle.
Thankfully we managed to get back to our rooms, the next morning I felt shyte! Having not drank any water before I went to bed I woke up with an overwhelming smell aniseed. Jumped out of bed, thought I was fine then it hit - harshest headache I've ever had and within 2 minutes I was at the sink discovering what I'd ate the previous night - most of it coming out of my nose
So, the moral of this story is: avoid absinthe!!

Well, my wife is Polish and she is going home soon for a visit.
So if Mr. BuRR can't get you any, put your orders in now.......

Tried it. Spent the next day wandering around work feeling paranoid..which was weird.
Bro sank god knows how much xmas a few years ago. That and a few other drinks. Found him asleep in the bathroom the next day with blood all over his face, two broken windows on the way into a house and (from a later police report!!) seems he decided getting out of a taxi at 40mph was a good idea. Apparently the only reason he didn't break anything was being so drunk!
