[Sca-cooks] Absinthe

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

> One or two glasses of it, drunk slowly, make me feel very floaty. It's less of a feeling of being drunk than high, but no hallucinations or anything like that. Although I would imagine if I drank glass after glass, day after day, I would experience thujone poisoning, but more likely it would be cirrhosis from all of the alcohol. I don't have it very often because I am not a big fan of anise or licorice flavoring. 

That would be reasonable: the active ingredients are a nervine-- a mild 
nerve poison. Slightly more effective on the central nervous system, in 
a different way, than alcohol.
