Absinthe

My dad brought me a bottle of Absinthe from Russia, for which I am eternally grateful. My parents are also leaving today, which means that there will be a party in my apartment tonight. I predict that the Absinthe will, at least in part, get drunk. I started reading about experiences that people have had online. This is my favorite:

I made some Absinthe by simply adding ground wormwood to Pernod. I let it sit for a day before filtering out the mush and bottling the liquid. I had had Absinthe before but I couldn’t stomach it so I thought a friend of mine should give it a try.

We were at another friend’s house when we decided to bust out the juice. I took down two glasses and he managed to get down four. About five minutes later I heard him call from the living room, "Nate, I'm trippin' man." He told me that the carpet had grown like a weed; about 11 inches. He said that everything was swirling together and elongating.
