What the devil is absinthe, You ask? When in doubt, consult the Wiki - for it is all knowing.
wikipedia Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but can also be colorless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the Green Fairy). Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe was not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a spirit. Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a very high proof but is normally diluted with water when drunk. Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious 'bad men' of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy. Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirit. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, have been much exaggerated.  A reservoir glass filled with a naturally colored verte, next to an absinthe spoon.
It's a thing of beauty, it is.

Just picked up a big bottle of Juarez tequila, a bottle of Bacardi Gold spiced rum, a bottle of McCormick orange vodka, plus a few single-shot mini-bottles (they're adorable, haha) of assorted varieties of the more expensive stuff.
Might have a rum & coke after I get something to eat. Tried playing The Secret of Mana on my SNES last night with a friend after we had some vodka shots. Quite fun! And on the subject of absinthe.... I'm not sure if I'd ever be willing to try that.

Oh no. it's perfectly safe. What they make here in america and what they sell is very fine spirit that tastes like licorice and is in no way poisonous. Also as for the supposid hallucinations that come with this... I hear it is no worse then a few shot of yeggermeister, which is quite popular. Not to mention it's freakin' classy!

Don't drink cofee or tea. Usually water or milk. Sometimes juice or water infused with mint or lemon.

I have to admit. I'm counting down until my 21st birthday simply for the experience of absinthe. Other than that, alchohol interests me very little.
More often than not, you can find me drinking coffee, coffee, tea, and sometimes coffee. :]

Dixie Dellamorto Xeigrich And on the subject of absinthe.... I'm not sure if I'd ever be willing to try that. You must have misunderstood. sweatdrop I know it's not poisonous or anything like that. I meant that I'm simply not sure if I'd like the taste or the strength, in the same sense that I don't like Bailey's Irish Cream because of the flavor and I wouldn't try everclear for the extreme alcohol content. Although I do generally prefer liquor and spirits over beer or wine, anything above 40% ABV is stronger than I'm used to. I've never liked licorice and I don't think the anise flavor is going to be much different to my palate. That being said, though, I'm not exactly averted to trying it, I simply haven't any interest. If a friend suggested trying it with them at a bar and it was their treat, I wouldn't see any harm in that, hehe. I think for now I'll stick with my orange vodka shots.

Ice cold Kool-Aid, Tropical Punch flavor, with exactly one cup of sugar.
One cup of sugar per PITCHER, not per glass. xp
But what I really want is a Pepsi Throwback. Ohhh, yes!
