Anyone got any stories about the green stuff?

Theres a little place in Altrincham that does some mad Belgian Beers, called 'le Trappiste' (you have to book a table its that popular) , they do several versions, I have tried them all up to the strongest and its wonderful, if the beer doesnt do the trick then you soon get tuned in after one of those, at 5 quid a shot its pricey though !

I bought a bottle from France a year or so ago and was dissapointed having heard so much about it, it was just Pernod type stuff, you need to get the real gear.

If you live near Altrincham, give this place a try.

Mate got some proper 77% volume Absinthe a couple of years back.

Mixed it with suger, and lit the shots - apparently the way to drink it.

The stuff is WAY too strong IMO - like drinking acid!!! Cant do tjhe internals any good at all!

Had my first ever Absinthe in Prague. We were waiting for out hotel rooms (11:00am) and made the mistake of forcing another mate to get the beers in. He got everyone a pint of lager and me and him an absinthe. 10 minutes later, he'd puked the lot up over thesofas in the lobby. We had been drinking since 3:30am in Manchester Airport, though

Place to go is the Absinth bar in Barcelona - mad mad place.

Bloody awful stuff - no idea why I drunk it to be honest!

Had a party at my flat few years ago, someone came back from Prague with a bottle of 75% stuff. I had one shot, burnt my throat out, like petrol with a hint of listerine, had another shot and started feeling a bit merry, after four, or was it five...can't remember, but I was getting quite pissed. In the morning, I found myself waking up on the floor of my bedroom in my own sick and felt like cattle stampead had went over me. Found the bottle in the washing machine, apparently guests had to hide the bottle from me as I already had about 3/4 of the bottle, only a few others had a shot. I couldn't eat or drink for over 2 days, took me about a week to fully recover...Never again!!! Can't remember a thing but did have some interesting photos!!!

theres some pics around of a certain muppet at a SN muppet BBQ colliding into some bushes after taking a large glass of the stuff in one go...

I had a triple of the 75% stuff at a BBQ once, was standing drinking a glass of wine about 5 mins later and just fell over backwards onto the floor giggling.

I was banned in Britain for ages. Something to do with toxins from the wormwood that the liqueuer is flavoured with.

Bubba po

A bit of caltchah for you all.

Crazy Chick

Why were you "banned" in Britain Bubba?

Bubba po

It was my wood. It had worms in it.

I nearly torched my kitchen; was doing the flaming sugar cube thing all night, eventually all the spillage on the surface caught light.

In between laughing our heads off, the best we could manage was blowing on it; we'd get right to the end of the surface, then run out of breath. At which point the tiny remaining bit of flame would ignite the whole thing again.

Happy days...

Green Stuff??? Proper Absynth is blue!!

alloy

Got two litres of 77% green stuff at home. We drink it with the sugar for added effect. Ended up going twos on 400ml the other night drinking it in whisky tumblers , the day after wasn't as fun as it could have been. Soon gets you in the party mood though, shame its only a vague memory

Sister used to work in the wine trade and got me some of the really strong stuff, did the bottle with two mates one night then went out - woke up the next day in the spare room in bed with my then girlfreinds mate who was topless and my girlfriend was standing at the door!

Never did get out of that one...

I found some Cannabis Absnthe in an offy in Tenerife (Damn, I sound like a chav!) which I was tempted to try but didn't fancy my chances of getting it home.

pete1977

Had a bit of an absinthe session with a good friend of mine ,cant remember too much but i woke up in a cell .This happened a few times ,im teetotal now

Dazzler

Tastes awful, but in a strange way I used to like drinking it. Esp before a night out with the boys over. Always got everyone in the mood

I used to get my supplies from Andorra, when visiting, picking up bottle of the good stuff for £3 a bottle. The mark-up some of the suppliers charge to us crazy English folk is unreal!

King RA

Brought a bottle back from prague and after the pub one night drank about 1/2 of it, I remember watching TV and it was dissapearing into the distance.

Woke up with one of the worst hangovers I've ever had, wouldn't recommend it.
