Tainted Lunch Meat : Alcohol
So I tried some Absinthe. Delicious. But I like licorice. If by chance you do not licorice, Absinthe may not be for you. The anise is strong in this one. Sort of sticks to you. A strong drink to be sure, even diluted with four parts water. Which made for a nice milky green tinted drink. I only had one drink, which was just fine. Could have handled a few more easily, but I was tired. Plus it is 140 proof. Having six or more of those would probably be fun and could potentially make for a miserable day when you wake up. Hope to find out during further research. The color is amazing before and after you dilute the drink. The taste is perhaps an acquired one, but it shouldn't be too hard to acquire after one or two drinks. In fact I think most things could taste OK after a few of those. Hallucinatory effects seem to have been overstated throughout it's history. Perhaps a lower grade Absinthe with sketchy ingredients could be the trick. More updates to come. Hopefully. Maybe.
