Absinthe has been around for centuries but it was only after the fall of the Iron Curtain that the world was introduced to absinthe from the Czech Republic which tends to be the source of the most potent types. No other type of liquor has drawn the attention of the curious to the degree that absinthe has and this is for a good reason.
The first question that people generaly ask regarding absinthe is does it really have psychoactive properties and if so, just how psychoactive are these properties. The answer to that is yes and and they are derived from a substance called thujone that is contained in the wormwood that is used during the manufacturing process.
It is important to remember that even weak marijuana is classified as having psychoactive properties. Drinking absinthe won’t leave you howling at the moon or chasing butterflies up and down the streets of your neighborhood in your under shorts, so don’t worry. In fact, the psychoactive effect that you can expect from drinking a few shots of some good quality absinthe is comparable to the effects of smoking marijuana.
Don’t run off to smoke some marijuana and get drunk, so you can see what absinthe feels like though, because marijuana is used as a comparison due to its mild psychoactive effects only. The effects from drinking absinthe have unique qualities of their own that can only be acheived by drinking absinthe.
Will drinking absinthe turn you into a creative genius, as so much has been made of its use by famous artists and writers in the past. The answer to that is that multitudes of clinical studies have always lead to the same conclusion and that is that drinking any type of alcohol can only lead to a lessening of a persons intelligence until they sober up.
Absinthe does have a well deserved reputation for lubricating some great conversations, so it is highly recommended that it not be drank alone.

The Effects of Smoking and Drinking on Mental Proficiency
Research indicates that smoking “primes” the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. Research also demonstrates that smoking and alcoholism result in diminished thinking ability. Since 50 to 80% of alcoholics smoke, then most alcoholics are hurting their mental proficiency due to smoking and drinking. This is especially problematic for youth who smoke and drink.

After hearing that there was a new brand of absinthe that was actually cleared for sale in the U.S. I was determined to give it a try. I had read a few reviews on the net that only left me confused and wanting to try it myself. For some reason, most of the reviews seemed to focus exclusively on the fact that Lucid Absinthe contains alcohol that is distilled from fermented sugar beets.

After some experimenting during my college years in the eighties, I have completely given up on on everything save for a cocktail now and again with my wife in the evenings. She has never so much as tried a puff of pot, so between the two of us we figured that we would never be able to make absinthe a part of out evening cocktail hour.

When it comes to the actual drinking of absinthe one thing that you will find is that it isn’t even mentioned in any cocktail recipe books. You can find a few drink recipes online but they are just recipes that people have recently arrived at through experimentation. There is a traditional method of drinking absinthe that involves the drizzling of cold water over a cube of sugar that is contained in a spoon suspended over a small glass of absinthe.

One of the many questions that pops up from time to time is if absenthe has often been referred to as the green “fairy” in the past is it OK for real men to drink it. The fact of the matter is that real men have been drinking absinthe for hundreds of years without ever experiencing any drop in their testosterone levels. In fact research has suggested that the term “ green fairy” was derived from the fact that absinthe has been known to have been used as an aphrodisiac.

Can Absinthe Turn an Idiot Into a Genius?
Of all the alcoholic beverages that are available to be bought online only absinthe has any appreciable level of mystique. Its a fact that Mary Shelly wrote most all of “Frankenstein” between sips of the curious liquor. The truth of the matter, is that the fact that Frankenstein was written by a woman is far more understandable once it is known that she was drinking Absinthe when she wrote it.

Everything you Must Know About Absinthe Liquor
No doubt you have already heard of absinthe and it has most likely piqued your curiosity. Mom and dad sure as hell didn’t drink absinthe, so what is it all about anyway? The real scoop on Absinthe is that it was aboriginally made and sold as a health tonic, which accounts for its odd bitter licorice taste and its green color.

A Complete Absinthe Review – Lucid Absinthe
Its a funny thing, because the first time I ever heard of absinthe was in college during my experimentation days. It was then that I learned that there was something in absinthe that would supposedly have some sort of psychoactive effect but there was one daunting problem and that was that I couldn’t get my hands on a bottle to give it a try.
