What are the brown bottles on the fridge? Personally, I'd never light absinthe.. but hey, it's YOUR bottle - do with it as you like. Absinthe is made BY THE GLASS so that it can be made for the individual. You want to start with an oz and a half, or an oz. You want TWO cubes or just one - you want to set it alight because fire is cool.. light it up. But what ARE those brown bottles?

its ok to flame the cube...if the fire drops in the glass you just
put it out quick

It's been in vogue in France for centuries. The taste is anise (licorice) and fennel as well as other herbs.
Absinthe (wormwood) is mainly a stomach medicine.

He's talking about the historical preparation. Historically no one ever lit Absinthe on fire before the ban. You simply dilute the dose with cold water to get the oils out of solution.
Lighting it on fire is a modern thing, and it's associated with poor quality Absinthe substitutes. With good Absinthe, it diminishes the flavor.
Naturally, people will drink it as they please, you are welcome to do so according to your preferences. But at least recognize that yer burning it for no reason.

Thanks Sam.

Anbsinthe has a high enough alcohol content to be lit on fire. A higher abv%than most drinks commonly set on fire at any modern bar. Fire wont harm the alcohol or change the molecular structure of the drink rendering it harmful to the consumer. So when you say "not supposed to" it would appear that you are commenting on some kind of absinthe etiquette. I couldn't care less. We were drunk, having a good time during the last week of the semester, celebrating. You give a bad name to humanity.

Idiots. Promoting the idiotic flaming method. You wouldn't flame a $60 bottle of cognac, would you? It should seem just as ludicrous with absinthe.

If you don't like it, switch it off!
Geez, call the liquor handicapper general!!
Im sorry that we are not all blessed with your divine knowledge of how to enjoy absinthe. I guess I should have done some research on the subject....piss off dude.

As I was explaining to Harvestbard, I'm sick of people giving me funny looks and thinking I'm a drug addict or alcoholic when I tell them I'm an absinthe enthusiast. Your video only solidifies that absurd portrayal. If you want to drink flaming absinthe on your own I could care less, my point is you're PROMOTING these myths, and contributing to that false image.
How would you feel as, say, a coffee drinker, people called you a caffeine addict and scoffed at you with your mocha in the morning?

I think it is the right of anyone to post their activities any way possible. If I posted a video of me eating a banana without taking the peel off, I suppose I would engender some ill feelings from those who prefer to eat a banana the old fashioned hands on way....
I WELCOME THEIR COMMENTS...if they were to be delivered in a CORDIAL and RESPECTFUL manner. I am not spreading conspiracy theories or blasphemy...the world would not end from a few hits on this video.
