What's it taste like, and how is it served? A place downtown opened up an upstairs lounge with absinthe as the attraction.

Thanks for saving me a trip downtown. Another "it's an acquired taste" beverage, lol

the piss poor abstinthes taste like terpintine. there a few different kinds. the main flavoring is anice which has almost Liquorice taste to it. basically each brand has its own herbal mix and some brand dont even use the anice. the main difference between this the illegal stuff is the amount of wormwood by vollume. next time you are in the city i sit you down and we can do a tasting flight.

o and the proper way to drink it is to a have a cold water drip over a sugar cube. when the cold water sugar comb hits the absinthe i get very cloudy which is what clasic absinthe should look like a cloudy green haze.

WOW! my head is spinning just from reading the how to drink Abstinthe instructions I think I'll just stick to a nice cold beer and keep repeating that over and over and over and over

it is a social drink with a ritual. it is fun to drink in a group of people. much like an after dinner drink.

i was never really in to Ouzo but that would make sense.

And Sambuca. "Buca Slushies were a tasty part of my repertoire for a while.

Do you guys drink because you like the taste of booze or because you like to get drunk???

Nowadays the taste, mostly. The buzz is an added bonus.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

I never get "stupid drunk" anymore. Can't even recall the last time. A small buzz is nice, but booze in general makes me tired and sleepy these days. If I drink more than 6 of anything in one sitting that's a lot for me these days.

a 2 beer buzz in the afternoon is heaven

1 pint of Guinness after a day of work does wonderful things.

Of course, it usually leads to a desire for 2,3,4 and 5, but that's another story.

part of the reason I've somewhat given up drinking during the week. I'm pretty much sticking to Friday / Saturday night these days unless I'm out seeing a show or had a particularly rough day of work. For years I'd drink 3-6 glasses of wine pretty much every night and the belly reflects that. Figure time to chill on it as I'll lose weight and save money....more money to be spent on skiing

i actually have pretty refined pallet. so i love tasting all sorts of things so i drink 80% of the time for taste but there are nights when im out DJ'ing that we are pretty much going to get drunk. good thing is we only get drunk off of the best stuff.
