Be prepared for a world class hangover and/or barf session.
Lou's rules:
1.Never get hammered on sweet stuff
2. Never drink mixed drinks that have caffeine....nothing worse than being smashed and not being able to sleep
3.Never, EVER, mix alcoholic beverages (ie drinking beer, then switch to drinking vodka, for example)
Not insanely high. You have green absinth (as pictured here) and black absinth, which was actually illegal until last year. The black one was about 60% I think.
Yes, but the black one also has some other substance in it, which in combination with the insane amount of alcohol was rumoured to make you go insane. That's why it was illegal.
