Yes. It hurt.
Kilby, stop it, please, youre bringing back some very bad memories!!!
Though I gave up on the sugar and started drinking it neat. I figured 'why the hassle'.
Take note boys and girls,
Neat Absinthe = Pain :!:
With sugar is fine if somebody else is playing barperson (see I'm non sexist), though I could see a fair chance of accidently burning down the house after a few.
Personally I step back towards absonthe & water (Ozo makes a reasionable 2nd best BTW)
My bad memorys (or lack of memorys ) come from Tequila (admittedly it was preceeded by Triple Sec, white wine and beer)
Though I do remember a weekend in Reddich which resulted in me not drinking for 10 months afterward :(
