You ever find yourself scratching your head in wonder over who decided this (whatever "this" might be) is a good idea?

Here is my discovery for today:

In all my years of drinking the only time I blacked out was when my buddies and I drank a bunch of absinthe before heading out to the bars.

Mayhaps I should just stay away from the stuff.

stuff tends to be about 100 proof

That sounds pretty good in my book? Egg white just adds richness to a drink, sort of like ice cream does to soda. Combining it with absinthe would make for a good dessert drink, if thats your thing. Drinking that stuff straight (instead of dilluted with sugar and water) would be like taking shots of top shelf aged whiskey. A complete waste of something worth savoring.

The only thing worth savoring about absinthe is the time before the misfortune of tasting it.

if your name is nancy. Wiki lists the average range as 90-148 proof. of course with a 2:1 or 3:1 water:booze ratio you are intended to add, it brings the "drinking proof" down from the "bottle proof".

i liked this 80% / 160 proof bottle quite a bit

for those who like the color but not the taste, thi stuff is super mild, with no anise.

it looks that way. i got it as part of a set and didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly impressed. even the site i got it from poked fun at the packaging.

90-148 range and you said 100.

it is within, but on the nancy side. i stand by my analysis.
