[milascave]

Someboy I know had an abscence party, the real stuff, A couple of old potheads drank it without the water and suger. They said it gave them a headache immeadiatly.

[lordofthepies7]

Oh shit, i would never leave a fine absinth like that and not drink it.

[PaleHearse]

@lordofthepies7

Neither would he.. but given it was brown to start and louhed like crazy.. it was probably not real absinthe.. just some poisonous prop concoction done up to make it look like absinthe... ish.

[likemelikeyou]

what's he sayyyyingg? I'm curious.. went to all that trouble and then wandered off..

say NO to re-colorization! no fair...

[heavyharpoon23]

Ah Sir! The streets are changing. Me, I've seen alot change. It used to be that clients would be regular people, now, we only have strangers. Yesterday we had a duke. - A duke? - Yes, watch out you will drown your absinthe - Thank you - He ordered champagne, we didn't have any so he drank absinthe like everyone else and left me a generous tip. The Reine Blanche is the only one to stay the same. (indistinguishable female whisper)

Waiter! - Sir... thank you sir!

[kohdidi]

the ban has been lifted in SINGAPORE too... damn surprised... but they sell it damn ex here...

like 200sing, tat is abt 260USD... but my fren happens to be in aus and we asked him to buy back from the DFS which was onli 40AUD...

[murderface74]

The other day when i realized the ban on Absinthe had been lifted here in the US, I happen to be in a Liquor store and i found a Bottle of Pernod. i started asking a few questions about it and soon bought it for $80 and was off to my house to have a drink. It was like stepping into the past. I love it. At $80 a bottle Im not going to be be able to drink it very often, but now and then i will.

[lordofthepies7]

if you find absinthe at 80 dollars you have done very good. next time look for something with a higher thugon.

[Jcolinsol]

Stepped up from the "Le Tourmente" have you? You can get some middle shelf Absinthe for around $60.

[murderface74]

Very nice. So far Ive only found a few brands.

[AlejoSG]

ooo good times...

[matrags]

My flatmates and I had an Absinthe party a few years back...Never been so ill in all my life the following day.

[MiChPuNk]

`le pupu mató a le guaguá?

[JacobCain86]

that glass louched like a mothah fuggah

[speedls]

I'm guessing that's actually Ricard in the glass there, that's why it's brown not green.

[JacobCain86]

back when this video was made they used to artificially color the film.

[chiggevara]

Why is it that the absinthe is'nt green? BTW, french is nice ^^

[AmazingShoestring]

This appears to be one of those early colorization efforts, and the incompetent operators probably didn't pay attention to that detail.

[OonaCanute]

Um, this isn't from 1900. They didn't have color OR sound back then.

[OonaCanute]

"Renoir's movie French Cancan"

Oh, duh. I should learn to read the descriptions more closely.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

What a WASTE...

[nbcoyote]

Noyé son absinthe ? vue la quantité d'absinthe... c'est l'eau qui était noyée. La proportion en générale est plus proche de 1 dose d'absinthe pour 3 à 5 dose d'eau.

[Scabrinastep]

some absinthe gets its poor reputation from bad distilling, not the wormwood

[Lebensborn84]

not to mention the lack of knowledge in medicines in those times gave absinthe an unforgetable reputation of being an evil drink with psychedelic powers.

[jellebelle]

where did u get this ?

awsome!

[theultimatekoopa2]

What year was this filmed?

[bds666]

kind of gay.

[Galeande]

Not at all... Drink absinthe and handle it then we'll see if you still find it "kind of gay"... I bet you'll have your nose bleeding...

[bds666]

dude I have drank absinthe,I was commenting on the video,it was amusing and all but it should have gone for longer,too short,need more of the story.

[benjorino]

whats with all this crap people talk about absinthe? I've had it plenty of times... its nothing special... just like sambuca but a bit stronger. The myths about it sending you insane are ridiculous.

[Galeande]

It can't send you insane of course. But i've seen before my very eyes people having their nose bleeding after drinking it and stuff like that... And it can cause neurologic problems just like cannabis in short...

[debiaptget]

Non, pas la vraie absinthe. L'absinthe N'est PAS une drogue hallucinogène. Il n'y a presque pas de thuyone dans l'absinthe, et avant d'en boire assez pour en ressentir les moindres symptômes, tu sera mort intoxiqué à l'alcool.

[phillykrewkilla]

drink absinthe and handle it? Are you an complete MORON! You all act like absinthe is much different than alcohol. It's NOT! dumbass.

[absinthespoon]

He left without drinking his absinthe!

[Oualtaire]

Better for his mental health! lol ;-D

[precenphix]

that's the first thing i noticed

[himynameishelen]

probably because he was embarassed about not preparing it right- he poured the water so fast his sugar didn't even melt!

[debiaptget]

Non, il est parti à cause des deux jeunes femmes, c'est évident. Mais c'est vrai que le fait qu'il ait noyé son absinthe a probablement un lien.

[himynameishelen]

I don't know if the girls were really pretty enough to merit leaving absinthe over though ;)

[absinthedrinker75]

nice find!
