Tater Totts Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I thought it did, well real absinthe that was drunk in 1700's/1800's (dates might be wrong) did cause hallucinations but the stuff you get today does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) I done a whole bottle of it one sunday whilst reading naked lunch, goes down like water, feels like it ain't doing nothing...and then you try and stand up No hallucinations though, no different from doing a bottle of any spirits really.Bit of a poofs drink though really.

Dazey Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I wouldn't bother it tastes like drain cleaner and there's much nicer ways to get fucked. The only way it'll make you hallucinate is if you buy stuff made back in the 1800s and only then it's cos the wood the stuff was aged in had some form of fungus growing on it if memory serves.

Nobodys_Fault Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Absinthe doesn't, and never did, cause hallucinations. The stories of hallucinations came about because they used to mix it with laudanum, which contains opium.It does get you shitfaced drunk though.

Moop Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It's fun when you're a teen. When you're older, it's just over-expensive window cleaner that gets you drunk. Doesn't make you hallucinate.Absinthe doesn't, and never did, cause hallucinations.

bran Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 i drank absinthe a couple of times and it was quite nice, it wasnt a sloppy drunk like booze though it was a great buzz loli think the hallucinations were because people added opium to it in the 1800s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 For the record, who pronounces it as its spelled vs saying "Absanthe"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I pronounce it correctly, but then I'm a cunt who insists on pronouncing these correctly too (which nobody else does):CaesarNew OrleansEverestLinux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbominableHoman Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I tried it once in high school after some glue sniffer's brother came back from Europe with some "authentic" wormwood Absinthe. He offered a shot to me when I left the class to take a piss. I took the shot and for the next give minutes he kept asking "Yo. You seeing shit? Seeing anything yet? Are ya? This is crazy man". I just went back to class with a faint buzz and forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNightrain Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Its def true. I took a few bottles back from a holiday in Ibiza. One red bottle - 70% proof and one Black bottle 85% proof. Cracked them open at a house party and one of my friends tore up my carpet, wrapped himself in it and started making out with my bin thinking it was a woman.

The theory about the fungus and shit in it, makes sense that'd cause hallucinations, like mushrooms and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
