There be Absinthe in New York. (hat tip to syreene for the link)
Supposedly, it is thujone free. Sadly, even the modern day thujone content in today's bottles of Absinthe did not appear potent. Apparently they are selling out, though, so I won't be sampling it any time soon.
It doesn't say anything about chemical contents, but it is 140 proof.
Have you ever drank real Absinthe? Man, it really messes you up. My brother was hallucinating and having panic attacks in the middle of the night and woke up everyone in the hostel. Good times, good times... ;)
I have, but it did not have that effect on me, sadly. I ordered it from France, though, and as I understand it, it's weaker than the Czech goodness. I plan on acquiring some good Czech stuff soon and doing a "Pepsi challenge" test with Lucid.
Do you know the trick with sugar and fire? It really makes that evil tasting stuff easier to drink. There is a special kind of spoon they like to use, I stole a couple. Every bar we went to had a dish of sugar packets and those spoons on every table.
I just remembered one of the oddest experiences ever. We were walking around in Prague (awesome city, btw) and there was a small stage set up seemingly at random on a sidewalk and a really, really good ABBA tribute band was performing. There wasn't any kind of festival or party or suitible atmosphere, just a random city street with a stage and an ABBA tribute band. Odd.
