How To Drink Absinthe

[dorinioanaalexandra]

why would u drink absinth??

[justanotheriraqi]

[b0sscake]

it's pretty funny how people copy what top rated comments say in hopes of one day making it to the top

[Fireflygunshot]

itt: People never having drank absinthe, thinking you can just drink it raw.

[MGshooter1234]

how to drink absinthe!

step 1 : take a random glass

step 2 : pour the absinthe in the glass

step 3 : drink it

"did you know absinthe is dangerous?

[RodmanShah]

@MGshooter1234 No shit, it's 140 proof.

[1socalshocker]

@MGshooter1234 , Absinthe is not "DANGEROUS" Hooo! That was a lie that the wine industry pushed to help law makers ban the sale of absinthe in France around 1905. That ban spred to the rest of the world. People liked the stuff better than wine or beer. Don't get me wrong, it is alcohol and will mess you up if you over do it. But so will Jack.

[robert33182]

I used to drink 1 or 2 oz of absinthe....then my balls dropped.

[movement26]

Make mine a beer.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT? :(

[blobby427]

slotted spoon aka fork.

[MrBurkdawg]

i DON'T HAVE SPRING WATER, ONLY WINTER WATER

[ScraqpY]

140 proof is pretty insane but everclear is 190 proof and it wasn't banned. our government is stupid.

[nalyib]

@ScraqpY It wasn't banned for its proof. It was banned because "it is generally recognized that this beverage is dangerous to health". They were into alcohol prohibition and they were happy to have a cause to ban some booze in advance.

[ScraqpY]

@nalyib Oh I get it. 

[RaAussieYY]

I got the moves like jigger

[BeerIsFuel4B]

i can just picture what this lady looks like...shut up and get me a beer

[GDZjeenik]

I wish to see all those saying, step 1: open bottle, step 2: drink it out of bottle. Many tend to talk a lot, but when they effectively have to drink a 70%alco liquid out of a bottle, they fail, and even out of a little glas. Basically, this video, shows how you can drink absinth in a nice and enjoyable way. I prefer to get drunk by drinking good tasting stuff, as drinking like an idiot without taste.

[kornrocker89]

I didn't have any of these so i ate a match and inhaled the lighter gas.

[HotSausageStealer]

Step 1: drink it.

[JokeriPokeri17]

looks like "liquid emerald", smells little bit like vough medicine and tastes like fire. I love absinthe

[trekkerac]

this is good, but i perfer the Suicide Girls version

[icohp]

Step one: Buy Absinthe

Step two: Open it

Step three: Drink it

Did you know? You're a dumb ass

[MrJimheeren]

Its still illigal in the netherlands

[BboyArmo]

A jigger???

what if I don't want to drink with black people?

[nicknamer123]

@BboyArmo Do like everybody else: from the bottle

[Torro321]

Am I the only one that laughed when she said "jigger"?

[itachi9374]

@Torro321 i did too

[TheAaron1924]

is this stuff legal in northen ireland?

[andersDnielsen1]

@TheAaron1924 It sure is

[thatGUYfromSKWL]

derp.

[halowarrior1000]

I got an epic mealtime advert before this xD

[veeohlehtah]

where can I buy absinthe? any brand recommendations?

[NumeralKillerlive]

@nalyib in my experience german absinthe (especially from rot) tends to be superior to most brands/and or regional breweries

[nalyib]

@NumeralKillerlive My personal favourite is Eichelberger from Germany, but it's far from being superior to French or Swiss (or American, for that matter) premium brands. Germany grew famous for crappy brands in the first place, and only afterwards appeared real absinthe like Eichelberger, Neuzeller and such (I don't even know if there's more).

[AlperenBirim]

Don't be a beech just drink the god damn absinthe.

[woodstockman6972]

the absinthe used in clip looks like crappy american fake ass absinthe

[andersDnielsen1]

@woodstockman6972 It is. I tried it and it's direct insult to absinthe.

[nalyib]

@woodstockman6972 It is made in France. American distilleries rather make premium brands like Pacifique, Vieux Carre, etc.

Since there's no law in the whole Europe Union controlling absinthe production, most "fake ass" brands come from Europe. I'd LOVE to have American brands in my country instead of these Czech and Spanish (and occasionally even French) crap.

[theamunra]

Well, about the 'drink ALL the absinthe' ... it's the same with us while on a party. But people should try the many tricks you can do with absinthe.. it's a pretty magical drink actually. :)

[theamunra]

burn some sugar then mix it with the absinthe and drink... orgasm :D

[crapriffictastic]

wrong oh so wrong

[Francy1991h]

yum :X

[ZulJim09]

I fucking shower in Absinthe

[Valete85]

i used to drink a lot of absinthe with friends when i was like 16, it was the way to get drunk faster and none of us died lol, we just drank from the bottle

[SomeGuyWithAFace9]

A Jigger? that sounds racist...

[cub3ofd3ath]

get real Absinthe and stop being a cunt, drink the shit. You are taking the fun out of drinking for me slowly but surely. cunt

[Milliusism]

LOL @ the fucking idiots saying all you need to do is just "drink it"--if you do that, you will pretty much die. They clearly know NOTHING about absinthe.

[nzomg]

MADNESS? THIS IS ABSINTHENESS!!

[njarvis1977]

It used to have large quantities of thujone in it, that's what made you feel like your tripping, it's still in absinthe just smaller quantities

[intersanctum]

don't listen to this shit, just poor it in the glass and drink it

[thezephyrsong]

@intersanctum, everyone else bitching: this is actually how you're supposed to enjoy absinthe.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@thezephyrsong

Don't bother. They're just trying to get their e-peens to grow.

I came here to see how it was actually done, my friend got a bottle (it's quite rare where I live).

[JYleung22]

step 1: drink the absinte

done

did you know the sun is hot???

[nalyib]

@JYleung22 If you'd aim for being only a tinge less ignorant, then you could find out that it's technically impossible to bottle absinthe at its drinking proof (due to precipitation of essential oils), so absinthe goes to the bottle unprepared (as opposed to vodka, whisky and other spirits that are DILUTED to drinking proof before bottled.)

[onedegeneration]

@JYleung22 Simple absinthe is for redneks;)

[JYleung22]

@onedegeneration like me i'm redneck

[GmanIsMe100]

i drink it like a proper man and drink the whole bottle in 1 go.

[Fudgiiix3]

^^ the goth's drink!

[Orihime854]

Lolz epicmeal time commercial XD

[EastWiq]

This video is all wrong, pussified mainstream way of preparing absinthe. Sugar was used to hide poorly made drinks that probably didn't taste well balanced or was too bitter back in the day. Simply add ice cold water till drink is cloudy, that's it. Absinthe usually comes sweet enough. A drink that's 120 proof or more and you're gonna do the ol' flaming cube preparation? Real smart. Oh boy, just like beer..the mainstreamers are going to turn absinthe into watered down crap for the masses too..

[nalyib]

@EastWiq Sugar was used (and heavily marketed with) 19th century Pernod Fils, too. Pray tell, what were the quality 19th century brands if Pernod Fils was "poorly made"? (It was usually drunk – and heavily marketed – with sugar!) I've had a score of premium brands, and indeed, they don't NEED sugar, but hell yes, some of them – for some people – are quite more pleasant sweetened. Some people like their drinks extra sweet, and extra sweetness goes well with absinthe. Accept it.

[SuperAnimefan123]

I heard that it was called the "Green Fairy" because when you drink it you see. ... Well fairies!!

[QuickManaNoNova]

@SuperAnimefan123 Apparently "real" absinthe does that, like stuff you can get in Europe, cause it contains some sort of hallucinogen or whatever. The stuff in North America probably won't do such a thing. Don't quote me on this, its just stuff I've heard from.. sources.

[Fitski18]

@QuickManaNoNova That is absolutely right. Absinthe contains a herb which is used to get high or something in eastern europe countries, but it doesnt contain the herb any more.

[nalyib]

@Fitski18 "That herb" (Arthemisia absinthium) is sold as an herbal tea one dollar a pack in all over Europe and no one gets high on it because thujone is no recreatinal drug, if not in dreams of junkie-wannabes. It wasn't exactly called HIGH back in the 19th century, because it was acute (or chronic) alcohol poisoning that was attributed to wormwood, and that's definitely not the best trip of your life.

[kerrigold86]

absinthe taste like Hack mints! You drink it straight up in my country.

[Clamasis]

dont you drink absinthe out of a shot glass?!

[RandomeGirl13]

that shit is nasty :S

[miliholic]

It cause madness!! hihihihi

[ceroelceroel]

How to Drink Absinthe

You will need:

A mouth

Step 1: Drink the absinthe from the bottle

Did you know: Alcoholic drinks make you drunk

[kotonizna]

The last time i had absinthe i didnt remember what happened after the last shot..

[hilerc]

hey guys I'm in mexico right now and we bought a sleeve of this shit. I've never tried it but i hear its a hell of ride so I'm gona try it tonight. any advice?

[kotonizna]

@hilerc drink it at home and never drive a car after. I remember when the last time i had absinthe after my last shot ( 7th or 8th full shot glass) i dont remember anything i did seriously. found myself lying at the garage the next morning lol

[TheIDivineI]

I was thinking of trying absinthe using this method.

[typhlosion566]

If you need to do this, you must be white. haha

[69zobazoba]

The real absinthe is still illegal in most countries. I hear you can get it in some eastern europe countries or up north. Real absinthe is hallucinogen...

[nalyib]

@69zobazoba Too bad no GC-MS tests found any hallucinogens in pre-ban bottles. I guess pre-ban absinthes were also all "fakes", then. Xaxaxa.

[STILLAliveDJ]

step one: drink

[PykohYT]

They prefer to be called Jegros.

[killsaba]

it doesnt need sugar if you go in club!! omg and it causes hallucinations(only original on, that is not with sugar and flames)

[ThePGeraFuckingSucks]

@killsaba It does not cause hallucinations, that's a fucking MYTH

[rcmeyerson]

@ThePGeraFuckingSucks The actual absinthe that is in europe does. It's made with worm wood. Not the absinthe in America.

[whateverpr0ducti0ns]

@rcmeyerson Lucid sold in cali is made with real wormwood, difference is they removed the thujone content which is like a natural chemical found in wormwood. It is also what is considered to cause all the hallucinations and secondary effects<<googled 2 seconds earlier

[MrZhabadasher]

Absinthe is better without the sugar. Just add cold water into the absinthe and drink. It is delicious and perfectly acceptable. The process of turning it to a milky color doesnt need the sugar at all, and unless you have a severe sweet-tooth, the sugar doesnt add to the drink. The sugar is totally unnecessary.

[nalyib]

@MrZhabadasher It does not NEED sugar, it's just that some people like absinthe (or some absinthes) sweetened. 100 years ago, even Pernod Fils were drank with sugar. It's like telling 'a good tea doesn't need to be sweetened'. But I won't go to hell for it, either:P It's true, though, that sugar is overpromoted as a 'part of the show'.

[MrZhabadasher]

@nalyib Yeah. I know. I had a bit to drink, and was a little over-opinionated. Sorry about that. I prefer my absinthe without sugar, but I dont really mind people who do like it with sugar. :P

[sasuketiger]

,,all the videos, all the comments, disappear, disappear, disappear!''

[MGRaiden64]

step 1: take a sip...

[Fire23eater]

Looks like horse cum...I bet you drink a lot of that.

[mynameis2616]

Absinthe makes the mind go crazy. It was banned like forever ago?

[xXMaggieMaeXx]

@ShadowtigerNeverDies No the real stuff comes from France. Not Spain.

[nalyib]

@xXMaggieMaeXx I can recollect 8 countries making some perfect absinthe anytime, and I also know crappy absinthe imitations made in France... the ONLY country where only real stuff is made is Switzerland, by the way.

[MrZhabadasher]

@nalyib Except that traditional absinth is BY DEFINITION french, and Swiss absinth is imitation and much stronger in wormwood content. than traditional absinth.

[nalyib]

@MrZhabadasher I think you meant to say that Czech absinthe (and not Swiss) was an imitation. Absinthe was born in Val-de-Travers, Neuchatel canton in – or prior to – the 1790's, and also was commercialised for the first time there, before its French debut in 1805, There are, unfortunately, loads of worng definitions of absinthe around, but just check your facts, please. Wormwood content of Swiss absinthes are comparable to French ones.

[VindictiveMire]

Wow, the world has diminished itself to pantywaist idjits

[MushroomedAnymore]

6-8 Parts Water to 1 Part Absinthe, Suger Cube (optional). Give five minutes to drain water slowly over cube. The result is a kind of strong wine.

If you just want to get drunk and don't want to appreciate the blissful flavours, get lost.

If you are real you will put some Pink Floyd, Acid Mothers Temple, Steve Reich or Nico Muhly on the stereo, dim the lights and surf channels on YouTube. If you have company even better.

There is only one way.

[niggergotswag]

Oooooh. I thought it said how to drink Arsenic.

[azakki]

Causing madness?

Madness?

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinkkvine]

open your mouth , drink .

[sucklava]

To everyone argueing over absinthe. It was banned because: It was commonly associated with violent crimes, and social disorder, aka-Fighting and argueing-like drunk people do, except more intense because of it's high alcohol content. As for the whole "hallucinogenic" properties. In the 1970's a scientist mistakenly related a chemical in absinthe to THC. It's been proved not to cause hallucinations, but it can cause muscle spasms. That's it, argument over, shut and enjoy the video

[nalyib]

@sucklava Actually, it was banned because it was the only alcohol that prohibitionists could quasi-scientifically demonize as "more dangerous than ordinary alcohol". It was usually drank diluted even by alcoholics. Most men in 1900's France were hardcore alcoholics, btw, with a typical alcohol consumption of 0.6–0.9 litres of hard liqor every day. They also wanted to ban vermouth, gin and other herbal drinks, but they couldn't convince the senate.

[St0omp]

Madness ? No .. THIS IS SPATRTAAAA ! >:D

[dungeono]

@St0omp no this is patrick

@St0omp No, THis is Patrick

[Hunts1681]

What is abstinte?

[sigge951]

@Hunts1681 alcohol

[SkiitzzzBeJesus]

Fuck Off! To Drink Absinthe You Need.... a Shot Glass :) That is All

[justoian]

@SkiitzzzBeJesus this is the original way to drink it. this method is called louching. its a whole ritual just like with drinking wine, when you decant it to let the wine "breath," smell it in the glass to get the aroma and sipping the wine instead of just chugging it.

[dezeier]

@SkiitzzzBeJesus

You clearly haven't drank real absinthe before.

[SkiitzzzBeJesus]

@dezeier Yes I Have and i Did It Excatly Like My Comment Says...........Be A Man And Shot It

[geimayl]

How to drink Absinthe.

[FuckVilleUSA]

@SkiitzzzBeJesus You'll also need a coffin. :)

[jckob1231]

@SkiitzzzBeJesus

Not actually...

[MiMcKee7]

Studies have shown (over and over) that even the old 1912 bottles of absinthe had almost no wormwood (the psychoactive chemical in absinthe). So really, there's no difference between the stuff that's being made now, and the stuff Wilde, Van Gogh, and the rest of them were drinking then. Quit hating, get drunk.

[DARi05]

Don't worry, what you find in the stores is not real absinthe, it's just the name [because of the fame]. Real recipe and ingredients are still banned in most of the countries.

[nalyib]

@DARi05 And what is banned EXACTLY in you professional opinion? Old recipes are tested already, old absinthes are tested already, no poison found, taraam, end of story. It was very well documented 100 years ago that poor men's "absinthe" was poisonous because it was artificial crap. It's just people hate reading.

[mrabudi1]

whats an absinthe?

[XWeedhunterX]

In here we drink absinthe with orange juice

1. lit the absinthe in flames

2. put the fire out

3 pour absinthe into orangejuice glass

4 drink the roange juice+ absinthe in one gulp

5 sniff the "absinthe gass" into your nose with a small pipe.

works well thsiway too :D

[robert33182]

looks more like how to smoke crack then anything.

[SexyKush420]

[XWeedhunterX]

@SexyKush420 Shit what makes you think the next morning "what was that drink i drunk"

[XWeedhunterX]

@SexyKush420 real absinthe has weed in it.. thats about it..

[SexyKush420]

@XWeedhunterX lmao no it doesnt dude. it has psychoactive chemicals but not THC, i heard REAL absinthe not "USA" absinthe has a similar effect to weed but theres none in it

[XWeedhunterX]

@SexyKush420 i know nothing about "USA" absinthe.. but the real absinthe got weed bro..

[NumeralKillerlive]

[spursfan112]

[wwwBixxTk]

Funny in the European Union absinthe is allowed ... but not in America :-(

[ryan473]

@wwwBixxTk it is in america. ban was lifted in 2007.

[GoldenChantarelle]

I never drink to get drunk (I have tried most known drugs, and alcohol has the most scary effect of all).

But I love taking:

➀ 2-3 tsps of fine absinthe

➁ 1 tsp sugar

➂ A small glass of ice-cold water

It becomes a mild wonderful low-alcohol beverage with aromas of an entire herbal garden.

Absinthe won't make you hallucinate, just a myth!

I make my own vodka spiced with wormwood and it contains a lot more wormwood than absinthe does, and yet it has no psychotropic effects other than alcohol.
