Absinthe Myths

The X Connection

In 2007, after being banned for almost a century, absinthe became legal in the United States. The re-evaluation came after European distillers pressured American officials to conduct real research on the supposed deleterious effects of the herbal liqueur. With scientific data debunking the common public misconception that traditional absinthe caused hallucinations or had toxic side effects, the U.S. government lifted the ban and brought glee to American absinthe connoisseurs and distillers. But among the general public many of the myths still prevail. To help set the record straight Laurence Liss, Web Editor for Outside's Go, went to Alameda, California to speak with Lance Winters, Distiller at St. George Spirits, the first American absinthe producer in nearly 100 years.

@twozigzages you would probably need 3/ 4 glasses of a ratio 1:6 to get fucked up. i say if you going to drink it you need to start on a ratio 1:7 and then find the ratio you like just don't drink it straight also always use cold water don't use warm water it like drinking a warm beer and nobody wants warm beer

Everclear has a higher alcohol content and if you can drink it right it won't burn nearly as bad as you would think

@Arrowhead43 They've discovered that absinthe is not psychoactive, but they can't discover that about weed:)
