Alcohol in Absinthe

-- By Kos in Helsinki, Finland on Tue, 27 Mar 2007 at 07:15.

The alcohol level is sure very high. That means that absinthe is like 136% proof? I know what it means about the alcohol being kind of hidden behind the flavour. I tried some French absinthe with water / sugar and felt very weird and spacey. Not sure if it was just the alcohol though..
