Absinthe rulez!!

-- By  Tiffany in  King's Lynn, England on Thu, 29 Mar 2007 at 20:37.

Had some absinthe the other day.. first time in my life.. a mate brought some over from Prague and hell, was that good!! absinthium 1892. Never drunk anything like it before. Not sure if its a drug as some people say, but it does something to you.. it's definitely not like other drinks. We finished the bottle by 3am (between 2 of us) and wished we had more. The funny thing was I had no hangover the next day.. but I still felt SOMETHING.. that thujone thing stays in your system or something?? but it felt good, really good. I'm going over to Czechia in three weeks and will bring litres back! Cheerz!

Absinthe: The symbol of 'la vie boheme' for over a hundred years. More than a century on, the drink still retains its original appeal.
