Opeth and Absinthe

[MixGrafix]

Our new year's party was highlighted by the combination of the two. A fair Judgement was the highlight song for all of us. Anyone else drank Absinthe in the Opeth forum and have experienced a new way of hearing them?

Happy New Year!

You are the laughing stock, of the absinthe minded.

Our new year's party was highlighted by drinks with a weak alcohol level and Britney Spears on TV

Only tried real Absinthe once. No music.

My new year was brought in (well actually on the 28th, as I rarely do anything exciting on new year's eve) with a nice combination of LSD and music, which worked just fine. I tried a bit of absinthe from a bottle once and promptly spat it out and asked if my friends were trying to kill me. horrible stuff, but one day I'll try it properly.

I tried Absinthe once, and I felt fine.

Why isn't the title alcohol and opeth? Absinthe being anything special is just a rumour, the so called "wormwood intoxication" is more an illusion than anything else, it is the high amount of alcohol that is "the thing" with absinthe.

^yup, anyone who drinks absinthe and hallucinates is an idiot, completely psychosomatic effects

 

[Bleakh]

^ Yeah, the thujone doesn´t do anything.

To answer the initial question, yes I sometimes listen to Opeth while being drunk.

 

[Don Corleone]

now, that absinthe is supposed to be diluted with cold water and drunk with sugar but i think it's a bunch of bull...that whole french method and the whatnot. i think it's better with very very little shots. after a while that whole burning sensation becomes really enjoyable.

 

[N-MAYH]

^same can be said for any liquor

and obv absinthe only serves to make you drunk

 

[Arasmas]

but you're not a man unless you can drink straight chinese baijiu, easily the most vile substance ever meant to be consumed

This thread reminds me of a party I went to during the summer.

The idiots at said party tested each other's manhood by drinking Everclear straight up.

That isn't a smart thing to do, guys. I was one of two people whose common sense told them that drinking pure grain alcohol can't be safe.

One time I listened to Opeth while having a slice of cake. It was awesome.

Hey I did that once.

Unlike Van Gogh I went for the more street level type of absinthe rush/aftermath experience.

I had a couple of glasses during a DJ session I did a few years back together with Leif from Candlemass. In the cab back home I got so sick and vomited all over the car and then threw a wrinkled up stack of dough on the cabdriver and pissed off. I think I paid him 500 SEK for a 200 SEK cabride, just because I was too sick to wait for change.

I guess he had to clean it up so he deserved the tip I think...

I kinda like the taste though but it's a fucking devious little drink!

Absinthe... hrrr. I've only bad memories about that stuff.

As I really can't stand the effects of alcohol as it is, Absinthe sounds like LOADS of fun
