Things to do in Britain: “drink absinthe”
Potent Absinthe Mix Stirs Up Controversy
Because I need the poet in me to go even madder.
“After the first glass you see things as you wish they were,” absinthe lover [Oscar] Wilde wrote. “After the second, you see things as they are not.”
“Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world,” Wilde concluded.
Oh my. I’ll take a double.

They says that candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.
What they don’t say is that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
After a pun like that I think I could use a stiff shot of absinthe…
Care to join me Joe?
evil, evil stuff
still rememmber the first glass – I felt like me head had just gone through the back of the wall behind me…
…all good fun though
I’m frequenting London in Oktober… The Lab Pub is 1st on the list to endulge in a sampling of the mighty Absinthe spirits…
It’s pretty much non-existent here in the States.
I will be going to London for the first time in a couple of days and am interested in drinking absinthe. Where is the best place to go?
