I am sadly amused by the fact the avatars in this thread appear to be talking to each other.

When I had my shot+glass of prepared absinthe, my roommate's girl friend just kept drinking the stuff, and after 3 or 4 glassess we had to put it away (it was hers, but she can't reach to the top of the fridge) for the night. She didn't really seem much affected while drinking it though. Scary stuff.
