Hey

Went to a trade fair today and a hotel from Prague was there handing out shots of absinthe!! I had previously me this guy before actually in Prague and he managed to talk me in to having some, it wa disgusting AND on top of that I have found out a standard shot is 4.5syns, what a waste....

Oh well it's what the syns are for I suppose, just can't ge over how grim it was
 
Did you have it neat, or with water? The proper way to drink it is to put a slotted spoon over the glass, with a sugar cube in the spoon, then pour water slowly over the sugar cube. You want to aim for about 4 parts water to 1 of absinthe.

At the height its popularity at the turn of the century you used to be able to buy special spoons for this - they are very pretty and highly collectable now.

People used to think it was a hallucogenic (it was banned in many countries), but it isn't. People just used to get very very drunk on it back then! So did I - just the once. The worst hangover ever!!

Chalk it up to experience and pretend you are Oscar Wilde!!!
