Do you have any clue as to what absinthe tastes like? Like a licorice nightmare! I can't believe they are making candy out of it. The stuff will eventually rot your brains, just ask Toulouse Letrec (sic). It was unlawful for sailors to drink the stuff when we were in Japan, so you know I had some. Woof, it was like 110 proof, so there was that, but then , well it acts like the opposite of Tequila. Whoa dude!
