This is a question Homemade Booze

SpanishFly writes, "I have a 'make your own absinthe' kit here, fucking terrified of making it...

"Tell us your stories of when you got so drunk on homemade mead you pissed in the cupboard.
Or tell us about the time you tried to buy wine stabiliser but got chased out of the friendly merchants shop because that compound is used to bash cocaine.
Tell us about the trials and tribulations of not being able to afford 4 cans of strongbow and couldn't brew your own poison so you got pissed on antifreeze and the next day pissed in your own mouth."
Thanks SpanishFly. MAKE THE ABSINTHE

It's pretty much a myth anyway.
Enormous Doses of Thujone will cause seizures and death. Though it's now thought that the amounts found in absinthe even in pre-ban (1895–1910) bottles was insignificant. Halluicinations associated with high usage of absinthe are are thought to have been just the usual delerium tremens or alcoholic hallucinosis suffered by chronic alcoholics.

I've had supposedly "high thujone" stuff.
Was also high in alcohol (around 70% I seem to recall) but I didn't notice any perculiar effects from either.
I'm of the opinion that the thujone was likely an insignificant event.

Yeah, thanks.
I blame using a touchscreen virtual keyboard -- for some reason it always affects my spelling.
