Tastes like anise or licorice

yes it usually has about 72% alcohol content so you taste the alcohol very much in it
you can of course larp and do the water/sugar diluting thing but it honestly doesn't even taste better then, absinth just looks and sounds better than it really is

tastes like lickerish but not the sickeningly sweet kind.

it's quite nice if you get a quality one, I always feel very heavy after a couple doses. happy, but my limbs just turn to lead but my mind is nice and clear. this is one of the fun things about drinking booze of all sorts, the flavour and how palatable it is really effects how you pace yourself and it reveals all different kinds of buzz you don't discover if you drink the same thing alla time

>>18838175
Most absinthe is around 70% ABV so you can absolutely taste the alcohol. It has a black licorice flavor, which I can't stand.

If you don't like the flavor of alcohol, you aren't going to find a hard liquor that you like the taste of. You can taste the alcohol in all of them. Go for mixed drinks, wine, or hard cider if you don't like beer.

>>18838192
Well to be fair I never had a problem drinking Ale.

>>18838197
You said beer hurts your stomach to the point of shitting blood...

it used to have psychedelic effects, that's why it was banned under that form. now it doesn't anymore.

>>18838205
iirc that was more likely to be due to the shady, unregulated production methods used during the height of its popularity moreso than any wormwood content

>>18838205
that's a myth as far as I know, there was no way to pack it with as much of the thujone which is the active ingredients to have any effect
but it could be that back then they also used some crazy toxic food coloring or what

>>18838175
>As for beer? That shit hurts my stomach to the ppint of shitting blood and making me sick.
Might wanna see someone about that, son.

>>18838191
>lickerish
Good morning Sir!

>>18838191
>doses
>muh limbs are heavy bro
Shut up retard there's nothing different about alcohol from absinthe. Any liquor will have the same effect on your stupid ass.

>>18838214
I personally suspect it was all a meme, because people to this day will say things like "woahhh absinthe is so special bro it's another level it's not like anything else" and it literally is. But it's possible that the literal paint they mixed with absinthe caused other effects.

>>18838175
It tastes like one of those wizard potions that transforms you into something through a very painful process

>>18838191
Your english is fucking terrible, are you high or just third worlder?

>>18838247
It's pretty magical.

>>18838175
>Btw I only ever drink to get drunk, never any other reason (because again I hate the taste of that rubbing alcohol flavor you get from tequila and vodka).

People should avoid these kind of threads, where useless information are posted to make people talk

>>18838253
Did you know op shitting blood? that's more important than how someone being clueless about scheduled bait thread are moving 90% of 4chan

>>18838175
i think it's pretty unpleasant but i've only had it one time. so maybe that's unfair to say, because i've had very shitty rum, but other rum is nice.

>>18838233
if you had the time and reading comprehension to understand 3 sentences you would have seen how I was discussing how different boozes hit differently purely because of the pace that you drink them (and I'll add of course the alcohol content but that should go without sain).

when I drink whiskey vs. wine vs. vodka vs. absinthe it hits differently because some you drink faster than others and THAT'S what I was saying, the change of pace purely because of how you palate the drink gives you a different buzz. it has nothing to do with the absinthe meme and shame on you for not even reading before you came after me.

>>18838253
yeah nah

>>18838233
everyone knows this is untrue, though. different alcohols do effect everyone differently for lots of reasons. just because you think 'alcohol is alcohol' doesn't mean it's true.

>>18838175
absinthe was banned because it was competing with the wine industry of france. anyone trying to tell you it was banned for any other reason is wrong. they paid scientists to publish a lot of rumors about absinthe's properties, it was banned in the resulting shift of public opinion, and people still believe them to this day.

>>18838175
Liquorice

>>18838321
It’s a placebo caused by the scenarios people put themselves in when they drink. Tequila hangovers are ‘worse’ than scotch hangovers because most people only drink tequila in party settings and drink far too much, whilst scotch is usually only drank in quiet solitary intellectual settings.

>>18838321
you're wrong.

>>18838312
do you by any chance have abnormally high amounts of melanin in your skin? could your home be classified as a 'trap house'?

>>18838205
It was never psychoactive, the problem was it was popular with more ‘off-beat’ people in an era where the Temperance movement was at its peak, so people were looking for reasons to ban alcohol. “Oh this drink is only drank by weird people with weird ideas, it must be because of the drink. Ban it”

>>18838402
what are you saying

>>18838175
It taste like herbs but not like the jager that tastes like shit.
Actually the whole "green fairy" tale on how dangerous it was, is due to low quality alcool made like the moonshiners.

It's a meme like all wank connected to artistry.

ouzo with liquorice

>>18838189
Diluting it can do a lot as it opens up the flavour, lets you taste it instead of just numbing your tongue.
When done right it's almost minty and very refreshing.
The sugar is to make medicre brands easier to drink and serves as a "timer" to let it mix.

As for the fucking Hollywood burning sugar-cube thing, it's a trick used in shitty slav bars to impress tourists and disguise the dog-shit grain alcohol taste with burned sugar.

>>18838204
That can also be a function of the type of fermentation used, I have a terrible reaction to beer and homebrew using beer yeast too.

>>18838177
>Tastes like anus or lickherass

all these people in this thread with all their shitty opinions, and no one has posted a picture of the bottle they have. pic related, ignore that I used white rather than green creme de menthe; read the recipe wrong
>>18838175
>I heard that it was banned because the taste was so good that people could easily overdrink it and get alcohol poisoning from that one source.
you're retarded

>Can you taste the alcohol in it?
My Jade 1901 is 68% alcohol, so yes.

>>18838191
>but my limbs just turn to lead but my mind is nice and clear.
this is a horrible larp

>>18838189
>you can of course larp and do the water/sugar diluting thing but it honestly doesn't even taste better then
it does taste better although this is done in part for the louche effect

>>18838205
it never did you retard

>>18838377
and because it was favored by bohemians

>>18838507
>When done right it's almost minty
its never minty, what the fuck brand are you drinking where it tastes like mint

>>18840657
Based, love me some French Liberte. I have to get a new bottle sometime.

>>18838175
>to the ppint of shitting blood and making me sick. Btw I only ever drink to get drunk, never any other reason
See a doctor you fucking moron

You're supposed to drink it with burned up sugar cubes not plain

>>18838175
Absinthe is the liquor of the gods, my friend. It's fucking DELICIOUS, tastes a lot like sugary black licorice. However: ALWAYS water it down. If you drink it straight, you're gonna be in for a really bad time. For a beginner, I'd recommended 1 part Absinthe with 3 parts of Water, throw in some ice cubes and a crumbled up sugar cube. It ain't fancy, but it'll be ya nice and buzzed.

Absinthe is often flavored with anise, not licorice. And good quality absinthe tastes like absinthe, or wormwood. It is an extremely bitter herb with a very green/vegetal character hard to describe.

Dont buy the neon green shit and add some ice-cold water like you would with Pastis.

>>18840657
Not "like mint", "almost minty", y'know the cool lung and sinus expanding feel, figured minty was more apt than "like huffing vicks"

>>18840683
No, that's flimflam for the tourist grade green anti-freeze.

>>18838191
Alcoholic cope

Gin with food coloring

>>18841858
I know a few actual hardcore alcoholix and they drink exactly the same thing every day. and in fact one of them drinks pickerel.

>>18838205
>>18838214
It's a myth that absinthe was ever more psychoactive than regular alcohol, however the origin of that myth was because people would mix fucking laudanum with it and drink that, which would obviously have extra effects.

Easier to pocket than a 0.7 and actually "buying" a two-liter plastic wine.
