Absinthe.....

[clarkey1984]

Thats some potent fuckin stuff aint it!

I have had the odd one before, but usually mixed with something, but last night, we started doing shots of the stuff, it does say on the bottle do NOT drink neat, in about 6 different places, but we did it anyway.......

Now, i cant remember if i had either 3 or 4 of them, but all i know is that i had been on the beers for a good few hours which must = at least 6 or 7 pints for starters, and i felt totally clear headed despite the absinthe, pity nobody told my legs that, because they wouldnt work properly.

I went outside for a fag and fell over, and for the life of me, i could not fuckin get back up again, i had to shout my mate danny who was round the corner to come and help me because 'i am stuck on the floor' not my finest moment.

It was really odd because i could still see straight, i could talk ok, i even managed to make a roll up and smoke it, which isnt something i can normally manage to do when drunk, i just couldnt bloody walk!

God only knows how i didnt injure myself on the bike ride home by falling off, it was a bloody close thing, getting on the thing was nothing short of a miricale to start with, there was also about 3 or 4 times on the short 2 minute ride where i was like fuck, kerb, then, oh fuck, white line, shite, grass verge, oh no, hedge etc.. But i didnt hit anything, miraculously.

Then there was the hangover.... Truly bastardly, i felt like total shite for about 4 or 5 hours, havent felt anywhere near as rough as that since i drunk a massive bottle of whisky on my 18th, it was one of the worst hangovers i have ever had, i wont be drinking absinthe ever again!

probably the most disgusting tasting drink out there,the fact it is made from wormwood does little to make it sound more appetising.

there's 2 kinds really,you've got the little boys version that they sell in the pubs now that's not the full strength stuff ............and then you've got the proper gear at about 80-85 % for the hardened lunatics out there.i've been known to have the occaisional peer pressured, forfeit based sesh on it .

the group of loonies i used to drink it with insisted on lighting it first until one of them set fire to his own face .

This was in the pub, i dunno where he got it, cash and carry i think, but it was in a slim tall bottle and is 72.5 % it did the trick anyway, unexpectedly pissed i was!



I think thats the same one as they have in there

I had something of a session on Friday. Left work at 12:00, after booking the afternoon off and the next morning I just about recalled getting through 17 different pubs, spanning Gravesend, Dartford, Bexley and Barnehurst (lol).

Naturally, my Saturday was pretty much written off, but now and again isn't so bad.

The things you do though, eh? I remember it had pelted it down for about an hour and the next pub me and my mate wanted to visit was the other side of this tunnel, which was flooded (about a foot deep, at least). So what did we do? Had the brillian idea to 'run through it as fast as we could'. Yeah, that worked - soaking wet shoes, socks and jeans for the rest of the afternoon - not that we felt them much after that. LOL
