Finnish way to drink absinth

[puistis]

That is nothing more than raping a perfectly good drink =/ Finnish way to do it is to perfect the taste but keeping the ability to drink it in big doces =)

This one is just drinking =)

[LTKarlWinslow]

We believe in nothing Lebowski, NOTHING

[MrDistrugator]

Mmmm ... wery good.

[nalyib]

Wow, is that Tabu 55? It's one of the most disgusting things ever posed az absinthe. Just a low-grade anise liqueur (yes, it's sugared) totally messed up with some bittery flavourant. Also smells like the wrong type of fennel, not as if that'd really count here.

[orangeracer223]

Hmmm, i like Absinthe to but thats kinda creepy.

[gypshasballs22]

i need to drink absinth and have that music

[Enuxxx]

wery good

[tatiana888]

That music in the background - what is that ? I meand - the title ?

[tatiana888]

@tatiana888 - *mean :)

[LiliMercury]

The sounds this gay makes are creepy xD

[lhigg17]

i can confirm thats how the Finns drink!

[StinkyAMVs]

THE SOUND is Soo fucking AWESOME!!!

[jps9901]

Calling Tabu absinthe is like calling a McDonald's burger a filet mignon. It has wormwood and alcohol, but calling it absinthe seems like an insult to the real thing.

[advisablyparentable]

lol he said wery good. wonder if he says pussy like wagina

[nalyib]

The toxic chemicals and low-grade alcohol certainly contributed to absinthists' worse condition, but absinthe was NOT banned as a psychoactive drug, BUT as a toxic beverage that causes illnesses.

Of course, the latter wouldn't fit too good in absinthe imitations' marketing, so they stay with the "hallucninations".

[fleshgordon1]

any high proof alcohol drank in high enough volume is bound to give you hallucinations. plus adding to junglelistsoldiers comment, the reason absinthe was thought to do this is due to shortly after the ban. there were really bad absinthe brewers that used literally anything in their brew (including known toxic chemicals) well, this is where this came from. however, again americans during prohibition were doint the same thing.

[nalyib]

@fleshgordon1 Reality is even more simple. All chronic alcoholics were known to hallucinate regularly, and having delirium tremens at given conditions. Dr. Magnan started off stating that alcoholics drinking absinthe have it all "more actively".

Later, anti-absinthe campaigners tried to pose hallucinations as a privilege of absinthists. Then, in the 1970's, knowing very little about the above, some ppl tried to explain hallucinations with the structural similarity of thujone and THC. Taraam:D

[iskateandbake135]

i love finnish people

[aivokallo77]

Alkon absintista ei näkyjä tule sen enempää kuin muillakaan verovaroilla tuetuilla huumeilla. Sama vaikka valuttaa sen blandin sokerin tai lego-palikan läpi. Kovan humalan sillä kylläkin saa helponlaisesti.

[lecrapauddejerri9]

what did you mix it with?

[stormossenFIN]

@lecrapauddejerri9 vodka,i guess.

[BioHazardous235]

real absinthe is illegal

[nalyib]

@BioHazardous235 In the Republic of Vanuatu, yes.

[dodo00o00]

Seuraavan kerran kun tätä tulee alkoon niin täytyy nopsaan hakea oma satsi, menee nimittäin alle päivässä kauppa tästä tyhjäks.

[rydoskek]

I've heard that some absinthe was kind of fake, without the ingredients causing the euphoria and so called "Hallucinations". They stopped producing it with the original ingredients or something. That's what i've heard atleast.

[nalyib]

@rydoskek That's because some people just can't believe that an ordinary booze was banned just because its imitations were poisonous. Some can't believe that the whole world got fooled 100 years ago.

[munkeefork69]

could one use carbonated water instead of plain water for this?

[slayer66616]

Mitä tisseilyä tämä on. This is not the Finnish way. Real Finnish men drink 80% vodka without water.

[LilyISay]

love the sound effects...oooyoyoyoy...oyoy...­.ah!

[greetings05]

wery good

[lowaces]

i got drunk on absinth a couple night ago

[Theblackchromatic]

why does it say (RIP)? did that guy die?

[nikkari88]

@Theblackchromatic Nah he didint die

[fearof33]

0:24 - 0:27

[Dimdez]

Jesus Christ mate, overdose on Wormwood!!!! he's fucking Redfield form Dracula XD

[goreombola]

Just bought a bottle from Rome. All I need now is a spoon.

[mrAbsinther]

!!absinthe less or more water!!

A:W=1:3

[framerunner1987]

@mrAbsinther it's a matter of taste and alcohol in the absinthe....

my absinthe is 66% Acl.

i mix it 1:3-1:6 (depends on what i "aim" for ;D) sometimes with and sometimes without sugar...

[TheSvemocniMalossi]

suck cock

[DancerwiththeShadows]

I think that sugar is required at least as a tribute to the great drinks. Today's youth are enough perverted way of its use.

Let us recall the sound of a French bohemian drops of water falling on a piece of sugar. And raise a glass pronounced-For the green fairy!

[sigge951]

how is this finnish way

[garhailija]

@sigge951 because we are alcoholics and use it too much

[sigge951]

@garhailija thats not much

whats finnish about it

[Snaiperskaja]

Onko tuo vettä tai sokerivettä mitä heitit sekaan?

[DancerwiththeShadows]

Dilitant. too much absinthe, without sugar.

[krycer123]

@DancerwiththeShadows good absinth needs no sugar (french used it cause their absinth was too bitter back during the grape famine), but yeh the idiot needs more water v.v

[Verradonairun]

that's pretty screwed up.

[Jcolinsol]

It's werey good. And what nice looking louche.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

You might wanna add less absinthe at the beginning, people usually add at least 3 parts water.:) Tabu is pretty low ABV, but still, ha ha...

[utubeNERD995]

you added wayyy to much absinthE

[bored693]

Not if he wanted to get drunk.

[mutzilnosoundl]

Maybe that's why it's the finnish way?

[karasumusha]

That looks like a bottle of Tabu Absinth.

[Dada8282]

what is asbsinthe I dont get it. Is it dangerous or something...??????

[JungleListSoldier]

It is not dangerous if you can hold your liquor well. If not, don't even bother fucking with Absinthe because even when watered down it is still about 34% alcohol. No it won't make you see things, that is a myth.

[Dada8282]

oh ok thanks for answering

[cobra6freak]

@JungleListSoldier actually it has been proven that it will give you hallucinations but you will need to drink a lot! and by that i mean most peaple will pass out before they get to those ammounts xD

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Since it must be a brand new scientific breakthrough, we'd happy to see that marvelous study about this being proven. Show us, please.

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib just go find it i am not gonna do the work for you what do you tink i am?

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Ah, I see. The trouble is, it's been found that the most dangerous element of present day and pre-ban absinthe is alcohol and it could cause brain damage and hallucinations scores faster than thujone or other components.

It's been also proven that early 20th century absinthe imitations that flooded the market were poisonous. No-one proved that actual absinthe is dangerous or psychoactive, though.

You're right, any hi-proof booze can cause hallucinations, if you drink A LOT:)

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib absinthe contains thujon and it has been proved that thujon can cause halucinations

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Look, why don't you make your research?

Martini Rosso contains more thujone compared to its alcohol content than any real absinthe ever existed. (It's even drunk at a similar proof as absinthe). So Martini drinkers are supposed to hallucinate, aren't they? Why don't they go crazy and such?

Check english Wikipedia about Absinthe before you reply, please.

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib again it can only be effective in amounts higher then a normal human can consume

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Oh I see; so following your thoughts, one can hallucinate when drinking too much martini:DDDD Thanks, you've made my evening:)

Read that article, seriously.

Hallucination was reported only about alcoholics who drank imitations, anyway. Those imitations didn't even have wormwood or thujone.

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib hmm then i really have too see if there are still imatations for sale somewere

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak No, but it's quite simple. You may want to try industrial ethanol as a base spirit, or perhaps a bit of methanol, copper sulfate, antimony trichloride for a start:P You'll have to drink it regularly.

I also hope you can distinguish the term 'poisonous' from 'psychoactive', because absinthe was officially banned for the 1st reason, not the second, and I don't want you to kill yourself for the wrong reason:)

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib well now i have found a kit to make homemade absinthe afcourse not real absinthe but absinthe kind drink with effects and i know the store it's pretty reliable so yea i might try that one out

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak I know about those kits; you'll end up with a dark mesh with an awful taste. I've made such a thing at home before. No hallucinations of any kind,; it's only classic absinthe effect on a level that is not really enjoyable. I got drunk VERY slowly and I got somewhat tense. Feel free to try it, tho', but I'd advise you to make your own using a historical recipe. It's much cheaper and not any more dangerous than the kit. (Still a little dangerous, though, since it's not distilled.)

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib hmm that could work too but then i need to find them first are the ingredients easy to find?

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Absinthe herbs are sold in herb stores as leaf tea. Historical recipes are at feeverte.net (usually for 100 litres of alcohol!). Without distillation, they'll be an overkill already. Get 80-85% booze (preferably vodka-like) and if you soak the stuff for less than 4 days; it'll have most of the oils, with a drinkable extreme of bitterness. After straining, drink it diluted with water.

Regular comsumption may inflict brain and liver DAMAGE,but won't make u see things on its own.

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib hmm always drink it with water okay that might be the best advice ive ever heard =p

[nalyib]

@cobra6freak Considering what I've seen and heard from 'absinthe-tripper wannabes' you guys seem better be warned about everything:P

[cobra6freak]

@nalyib and seeing that they advice to use 85 degrees alchohol it might be a great idea to use water xD

[smeghead666]

@JungleListSoldier Wrong, Thujone was a major component (though its content over estimated) in Absinthe, and causes siezures and hallucinations, the content of Thujone (wormwood) was restricted around the 1900s because of so many folk tripping off their tits.

you can still get it with higher concentrations of wormwood than what is legal in most countries, drink some of that and tell me it's a myth

[smeghead666]

@JungleListSoldier indeed, apologies for hostile toned of a drunkard ;) the "hallucinating" is definately overrated and a lotta mainstream production absinthe is found to contain similiar levels as was in pre ban absinthe, still theres folk who like to soak in more wormwood and play. You find your hallucinations not much more impressive than being extremely drunk but things grow and shirkn, twist, turn etc. no green fairys though...

[nalyib]

@smeghead666 I also have to tell I can archieve those strange dreams with mugwort tea too, which is very low on thujone.

(Wormwood tea course [about 3 weeks] also means quite a much thujone compared to any historical absinthes, and still no-one feels funny meanwhile.)

[nalyib]

@smeghead666 Wrong. Wormwood wasn't regarded as a hallucinogen in the 1900s, but merely as a poison. The other herbs were said to be 'stupefactives', but hallucinations were ONLY reported as a result of nervous breakdown caused by absinthe.

I've drank undistilled absinthe tinctures of high thujone content (between 100-200 mgs), and I've got totally drunk several times, but it only made me tense. It also had a strange after-effect while getting sober. If I went to bed, it caused strange dreams.

[lolmisinformed]

@JungleListSoldier Absinthe is still lethal, watering it down doesn't change the alcohol percentage, rather it changes the volume of standard drinks it in, say a single shot of 85% is 3 standard drink, if you decide to water that down it'll still be 85% alcohol but it will be diluted enough to be treated as about 1-1.5 standard drinks meaning it will take longer for the effects to hit you and it will be processed through your system faster... TBC

[JungleListSoldier]

@lolmisinformed What are you talking about? Let's say for the sake of simplicity and arguement you have a liter of 100% alcohol. If mix it with a liter of water you now have a mixture that is 50% alcohol. What is so hard to grasp here?

[lolmisinformed]

@JungleListSoldier, You're right, except you still have the same amount of alcohol in your blood system as you would have before you mixed it with water, except now there's more water to dilute it faster.

[lolmisinformed]

@JungleListSoldier

I shall also tell you yes, some Absinthe will make you hallucinate, however most won't. Absinthe is distilled with Wormwood, this is what makes you hallucinate, how ever the newer shit is distilled with 10 serving or less wormwood to make it more legal for most countries, this has made the effects of the wormwood in the drink less effective and is neutralized out by the alcohol in it.

Good day.

[nalyib]

@lolmisinformed Too bad it WAS NOT considered a real hallucinogen 100 years ago, not even by Dr. Valentine Magnan... too bad all that ppl read about absinthe are Z-category web articles and Czech 'thujone progaganda'.

Read original studies before writing nonsense , they are very illuminating. Wormwood and ALL OTHER HERBS ins absinthe were considered poisons. Not drugs, but poisons.

[MrBeerbug]

@Dada8282 It is a very strong alcohol beverage (60-80 percent alc.) That tastes amazing and has a little bit of hallucinegen effect sometimes, wich makes it illegal in some countries.

[Dada8282]

oh Ok thx for the information

[MrBeerbug]

@Dada8282 For the record you can get it stronger than what I said:-)

[La1Li5Lu4Le3Lo]

u will die drinking this^^

[narusakagami]

aditionally, what kind of absinthe did you use to get that kind of louche?

[narusakagami]

me and 2 friends took out 2 5ths of absinthe last night (save for a single half shot we coudlnt finish )

I gotta say for me it was magnificent. my one friend losth is memory after 2 shots, and the other guy wouldnt water it down at all, he reaaaly got it bad.

but for me, it was about as perfect as it could be.

[alinakabullet]

absinth don't give you hallucination and other sensation that i've read about, but it really makes you drunk very fast:))

[live7x77]

three shots and i was gone!!!

[J4cKKI]

@alinakabullet

That is true, you get drunk so fucking hard.

[isoperuna2]

@alinakabullet

it gives always to me.. cuz i have strong medication

[hellcatjay]

@isoperuna2 shouldn't drink anything alcoholic on any medication moron

[tudvemppi]

@alinakabullet it doesn't cause after they unbanned it they also added an limit of how much Thujone you can have in it.

[skatekoh]

i believe there is an 'e' in absinthe

[LesboLeslie]

Yum : )

[ohjuli]

It's not creme, it's cold water. It turns the absinthe opaque.

[freebyrd07]

Its called the lushe .

[bored693]

*louche

[freebyrd07]

Ok. Ten points for the spelling queen.

[bored693]

lmao, that was probably the best comeback I have heard in a while lol. Nice.

[freebyrd07]

Jack of all tades, Master of none. Happy to piss your parents off and ruin all large occasions. At your service.

[IndustrialFascist878]

Finland sucks!

It's all about AMERICA BIIIAATCH!!!!

[rikahorror]

It looks delicious.

[EliteGhostR]

why would u drink that? that thing is deadly.

[Nonsa]

Deadly? Are you serious? I should be long dead then...

[SirSpoon84]

i usually just go about quarter absinthe and 3 quarters water, couldnt imagine going more with absinthe

[MicrowaveMechanics]

sugar sucks, go water!

[melmothd]

what is the point of adding sugar and water? is it lighter?

[BatoNY65]

Because if you don't dilute it you'll go mad and blind, that's why.

[melmothd]

oh.

[ZOBBIDOBBI]

water releases the aromatics that are soluble at high alcohol concentrations and sugar masks the bitter flavours of bad absinthes. so u if u have a gd absinthe water > sugar

[freebyrd07]

Being in the states sucks, Sadly we cannot get a great product.

[jonmath1]

There is a brand called Lucid here in the US

[melmothd]

same as sambuca then. right, gotcha!

[tatorsal]

It has a strong taste even with sugar and water. Same as coffee, why add suger and creme?

[freebyrd07]

Why did you add creme?

[freebyrd07]

Taste

[melmothd]

I don't want to.

[freebyrd07]

Dont want to what?

[melmothd]

you said "taste" and I said I don't want to taste it!

[freebyrd07]

Why not? how else will y ou know if you messed it up?

[melmothd]

I'm scared

[freebyrd07]

Are you serious? Its like drinking alcoholic drink. Thats it. You dont hallucinate or go nuts...

[melmothd]

are you sure? that's not what I heard of. from what I know of, it makes you see monsters and aliens.

[freebyrd07]

Im sure, Bck in the day Absinthe was made with opiates. Today its not, Worm wood is not strong enough to make you see things.

[melmothd]

oh ok! well, I might just give it a try! :)

[freebyrd07]

Good.

[freebyrd07]

Ok..why not?

[freebyrd07]

Because its extremely strong....

[BatoNY65]

>>>"Ummm, wery good"

LOL.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

I'd have picked a different brand and added more water than that, but I'm glad you didn't set fire to it like all these other fools!:)

[guitaneman]

that looks good dont tell us lucid is real absinthe less tha 10 % thujone...dont be silly

[chiasere]

That absinthe he's using looks like crap, any absinthe that color of green is obviously made using dyes, like Tournment Vert. I prefer a more historically accurate absinthe like Lucid.

[wowfireblaze]

Suger Water Added to it

[LegendzLastForever]

Yum lol.

[kasisb]

what is that thing you added to absinth ??

[maryjohnson2134]

I gotta go with Le Tourment Vert when it comes to absinthe

[billMe08]

that looks really good

[poeticalmath]

trust me, its good, and you get lit.... super strong!

[michelleskimo]

that looks like some kind of witch potion! haha gotta try that stuff!

[DeadandDECAYED99]

y do they set the sugar on fire anyways??

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

NO. He probably should've added more water than that, but otherwise, did it correctly!

Burning sugar makes it taste TERRIBLE. There is NO point to doing this!

[epikindina]

This is most definitely not an enjoyable way of preparing and conducting an absinthe ritual.

[althalius379]

This dude's voice creeps me out.

[hunnes90]

hahaha lol :D kova video

[FreekoSwaheez]

Wary goot. HAHAHAAHA! This guy cracks me up.

[AlexandrusMegus]

do not mix absinthe with anything. absinthe is too good to be mixed.

[ariez12r]

its usually mix to avoid drinking too much and avoid alcohol poisoning which is kinda easy when u drink up to 85% alcohol

[AlexandrusMegus]

yeah but if you don't have the guts for extreme strong drinks don't drink it.

[ariez12r]

i do, but drinking 2-3 shots is enough to the get stone, i rather mix it to enjoy it

[paaskee]

BLING

[lolas33]

oh yeah , good vid though.. yayayya absinth..whahahah

[Audinos]

Perkele!

[letterpool]

mix it with sprite and your good to go.

[JimmyTheKirkie]

Fuck yeah!

[xxxDEATHCORExxx]

i love absith

[oron1000]

some good stuff to relax...

[heavyharpoon23]

This video is all about the sounds, the eerie background music, the bell like sound of the bottle striking the glass, the absinthe being poured, the water being added and the stirring. its also beautiful because its a completly new way of preparing it, even if its not the classic way, it doesnt have to be, its not a classic absinthe.

[Synefra]

I don't believe Ive ever seen the ritual done so intensely. All the sounds come together in a great sonnet meeting somewhere around my quim. Is it just me or does that voice ring anyone elses bell?

[KeMoniito]

why is that guy on the video sounding like he is experiencing an orgasm and as if he's about to ejaculate??...☺

[FantasyMindedMan]

wheres my glass? Me is wanting some of that glass of silky drink! Love the Drink! Nice Video by the way.

[solidabsinthe]

Really enjoyed this video! What's the background music?

[nimitjain121]

damn it....how in the world is a friggin person to know that an absinth is real or not...my friend got absinth tabu from us...now i have drank it...now i'm not hallucinating....now life it shit...ppl...plls keep it simple,yaar....we are all not Connoisseurs...abssinth should make you hallucinate...and i am not hallucinating...this sux

[YieArKungFu]

Ok, it can't get any simpler than this...

Absinthe should "NOT" make you hallucinate.

You don't have to be a connoisseur, it just takes a little effort to do some research. Here is a site with reliable information I can vouch for:

wormwoodsociety(dot)org

Read the FAQ's in particular and then browse the forums.
