Re: Absent for Absinthe

I thought so. And I couldn’t see much point in lengthy explanations.

I’ve drunk many concoctions, like illegal Poteen, Mezcal (and eaten the agave worm) and those Chinese ones with lizards in them (without eating the lizard), but Absinthe has passed me by. I’m just not absinthe-minded, I guess.

Re: Absent for Absinthe

Employers discourage it. Causes the absinthe tea rate to go through the roof.
