Absinthe soon to be available stateside (legally)

Finally a way to legally purchase absinthe in the US. From the article... I sampled the 124-proof liqueur last week, while watching the National Basketball Association playoffs. When diluted with water and a pinch of sugar, the absinthe’s taste is strong and pleasant. And the buzz has an odd way of focusing the mind — I’ve rarely been so entranced by the swish of a basketball net. I've only tried absinthe once, and it was a homemade concoction which tasted like burnt ass hair mixed with dog shit. I didn't really feel any effects from it although I only managed to get a shot or 2 down. Let's hope this stuff actually works since it's almost $60 for a 750ml bottle.
