L'heure Verte
Absinthe--seemingly the real shit--now available for purchase on the internet, in really neat looking bottles with labels featuring what appears to be a sketch of van Gogh's head. It comes in 3 different strengths, ranging from 10mg to 100mg of "thujone," the psychoactive ingredient.
What with the immanence of Fitzmas, maybe we ought to break out a bottle.
Anyone tried this stuff?
Anyone know why someone shouldn't order me a bottle for Christmas?
Update: The reason why is that the website linked above has dubious information and probably an inferior product. I just got a mini-crash course in absinthe; this site has smart prose and a lot of seemingly good and interesting information.
