Last night was fun. Had a great time and tried the absinthe, as well. After about two seconds googling, I found that the FDA allowed absinthe to be imported to the US, but only if it contained 10ppm or less of thujone. That translates to about 10 milligrams of thujone per liter. Traditional absinthe was about 100 milligrams per liter, so the effect of the absinthe I purchased was more of making you drunk easier. However, it tasted damned good, and the louching was a really cool thing to watch. Would definitely try it again, just need to get a decent glass and some sugar cubes.

What do you think? Should I do it? If I do it, I’ll write about it. Ought to be a fun time, right? Maybe it’s good for getting rid of headaches. I’ve been having insane headaches lately. If it sucks, at least it was pretty cheap.

UPDATE: I’m going to be saving this for another day, when I have cause to celebrate rather than drown my issues.
