Absinthe

Weird psychedelic green stuff with huge alcohol content. Tastes a bit like Pernod and makes you feel exceedingly bizarre after drinking only a relatively small amount (i.e. less than a pint). Contains Wormwood, a herb which has found uses in repelling fleas and moths and causing insanity. Make sure you have a chewing gum between swallowing this gear and trying it on with girls (you will whether you wanted to or not after this stuff).

Once the favoured tipple of poets, artists and assorted other old scrotes.

"Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder."
