And other fine bar advice from the Wichita Eagle.

The view of absinthe from Kansas: "The alcohol that causes the worst hangovers? Absinthe, which luckily, is illegal in the U.S."

Perhaps the author should take his own advice "Experiment with different types of alcohol, even those you think you don't like. At your next bar visit, tell the bartender to pour five shots you have never tried and taste them blind to prevent prejudice."

We're Not In Kansas Anymore.

Ballz™ is.

Absinthe is actually the ONLY alcohol I've never gotten an hangover from. What the fuck are they talking about?

I'm sure that advice comes from someone with a shitload of absinthe drinking experience.

I was so perplexed by that article, that I wrote the editor a nasty letter.

Best way to avoid a hangover, do five mystery shots in a row. Now that's good advice.

He was probably drinking Hills.

That's what I thought, and told the Editor that a spelling mistake was made (extra "e" on the end of Filterated Czeckerland Xit.)

I know several people who write for the Eagle -- gonna be like talking to a brick-wall! What they write is gospel, and there ain't no way around it.

And true dat Rimmy, but only for 2 more months, then I'm

Um, no.

Oh wait, what am I saying.

I've had plenty of hangovers from Absinthe, even really good stuff.

What's your definition of the "good stuff?" Sometimes the "good stuff" ain't that clean.

I had a hangover from E.T.# 9 that nearly killed me.

i've gotten hangovers from absinthe.

if you have never, then you haven't been drunk enough on it.

man, one of the ET's (i think it was 8 or 9) gave me a headache halfway through one glass.

tasted pretty good though...

It's just booze.
Cucumbers don't make you smart either.

huh?

That mad gin did even worse to me.

Good taste,
but 2 glasses hurts in the morning.

It's just booze
even if somewhat stimulating you still could get a hangover,
all that water helps though.
Hendrick's says the cucumber makes you smarter.

yeah, it's just booze. got that part.

didn't know about the hendricks thing.

still have yet to taste it.


that sucks about it not making you smarter.....i could use that as an excuse for drunkenness.

"uhhh like....i'm not getting durnker...i'm getting smotter!!!......gimmeanotherone"

Never gotten a hangover from absinthe, and seldom get one from other liquor.

I prayed at the porcelain a few times, but almost never get a headache.

I like Hram's Buffalo Herd Theory.

# 9 gave me gastrointestinal bleeding,
lovely threads of blood.
Sure was tasty though.

375 m.l. of 72%abv. can do that though.

If that were true, I'd be a rocket scientist by now....

You like your cucumbers?

In Hendrick's - yes.

Hey Winston!
Come on out , I won't bite.

That stuff does grow on you.

Teehee...yes you will!!!

Here Winnie winnie winnie

Assholes.

Back to Cucumbers

OK....

The cucumber scene in This is Spinal Tap is my fave!!!

Makes me wonder about the sealed half-bottle of ET #11 in front of me.

Can I raise a practical question at this point; Are we going to do Stonehenge tomorrow?

If you need to ask, you'll never know the answer.

I'll trade something for it,
you can even taste it first.

#11 is the only one I've tried and I liked it.
Nice and buttery sweet.

I'm actually quite looking forward to the ET 11. But first comes a comprehensive study of the Lush Life Suisse. I'ven even lined up some LDL-1 and 3, a couple of samples of Butty's best and some Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe SV for comparison purposes. It's a tough job, but... What am I saying? It's neither tough nor a job. This should be most enjoyable.

I haven't had any absinthe for a long time .

Why not?
