Don't get me started on Absinthe, which is the real thing, the 140 proof European concoction, actually made from wormwood, or its 110 proof "American" counterpart, called Absente, which is actually made in Canada, I believe. There's a couple discussions here on it somewhere in the back pages. I'll just say that whether it's the 110 proof North American imitation or the real-deal European stuff, yeah, if you want to try something that doesn't really make you feel drunk, but has a similarly narcotic-like high to Jagermeister, go ahead. It'll also add some mildly hallucinatory semi-psychotropic properties to your adventure.
It's nasty tasting, very interesting stuff to fool around with just to say you did it, but I can't see having this stuff around the house to drink on a somewhat regular basis. Stuff like Jagermeister, Absente/Absinthe, Goldschlager are very popular with college kids bent on majoring in sex and drunkenness. They're also popular with rock stars, rappers, athletes and movie stars who get their pictures taken a lot. It's a "big thing" to be seen with a bottle of Jagermeister or Goldschlager in your hand, and to be a big-time athlete or movie star. Jagermeister is also combined with heroin by many young folks, including celebrities, for that REALLY narcotic effect.
Have fun with your Absinthe, and remember, if it really is the 140 proof European version, it's as illegal as Cuban cigars over here, so don't talk about it too much, or ask questions here about where to get it, etc. Thanks.
