I got Dared...should I do it...

tig ol' bitties 3:01 PM - 26 April, 2007
well it isnt a dare per say, my homey said he'd give me 300 bucks if I was to drink an entire bottle of Absinth at 10 oclock and be functional enough to go to a club/bar at midnight.

All I have to do is drink it at 10 then go to a bar and drink 3 beers or 2 liquor drinks...

Should I attempt this? This absinth is from Europe, so its as legit as it gets, I just have never drank it or seen anyone who has...

Bad idea?
tig ol' bitties 3:03 PM - 26 April, 2007
this is the type it is...www.originalabsinthe.com
djaction 3:05 PM - 26 April, 2007
I'd do it. Absinth is overrated.. Might make you blackout.. but nothing crazier than that.
FlexyD 3:06 PM - 26 April, 2007
Absinth is really strong most of it I have had is over 100 proof so it depends on how big the bottle is and how big of a tolerrence you have to alcohol, nothing is worse than being sick in the club!

You have to pour it over a sugar cube and mix with water I think , been such a long time since i've had it. Taste like licorice too.

word. I blackout fairly easy, which would not be good cuz they could lie and say I never made it out to the bar. hmmm.
tig ol' bitties 3:07 PM - 26 April, 2007
I have only gotten sick off booze 3 times in my life.
Likwid 3:11 PM - 26 April, 2007
That would be your 4th.

A full bottle of Absinth would make you yak for sure, before you left for the cloob i bet.
Dj Cassidy 3:12 PM - 26 April, 2007
haha tig ol i thought you were cuttin back on the dranks

but my buddies and i had that shit when we went to spain back in high school. all i gotta say is we were non functional the next day with one of my bros spittin up blood. weird hangover not like alcohol cant really explain it. guess throwin up blood is the only way to describe it

good times tho do it for 300. you aint gonna remember shit at the club or the next day.
Kid A.V. 3:14 PM - 26 April, 2007
I came close to blacking out after two shots, good luck with an entire bottle!!!
sixxx 3:18 PM - 26 April, 2007
Alcohol poisoning is no joke... be careful. You don't wanna die over a stupid "dare".
latindj 3:19 PM - 26 April, 2007
From my experience...ANY alchohol that's colored Green, Red, Blue, whatever will get you sick quick and the worst freakin' hangovers. But bottom's up! :)
tig ol' bitties 3:24 PM - 26 April, 2007
damn. Now I am all shook.

I wouldnt do it till friday night anyway. What if I was to eat 3 3 chicken sandwiches and 8 peices of bread first? hahaha
tig ol' bitties 3:24 PM - 26 April, 2007
i meant 3, not 33
Dj KaGeN 3:25 PM - 26 April, 2007
Staroplzenecky Absinthe
[absinthe07] $71.99
Staroplzenecky Absinthe


A strong alcoholic liquor made with herbal extracts, the main herb being wormwood. An emerald green absinthe with a distinctive taste. Staroplzenecky absinthe is manufactured in the Czech Republic according to the original French absinthe recipe with 70% alc. vol. and a production method that has been improved in excess of today's required standards. Absinthe Staroplzenecky contains 9 mg/kg of thujone.


Even in my best of night hammering down booze, I have knocked back a full bottle of vodka over the course of a night (never 2 hours), but sweet tasting stuff like this - spells disaster.

thats what I was gonna do until I got dissed by another chicken head. now Im all depressed and looking for a fix. hahaha
Dj KaGeN 3:26 PM - 26 April, 2007
But TIgo - the reason they're trying to get you to drink this is to make you hallucinate.

Thujone is a ketone and a monoterpene that exists in two stereoisomeric forms: (+)-3-thujone or α-thujone and (-)-3-thujone or β-thujone. It has a menthol odor. Even though it is best known for being a chemical in absinthe, recent tests show absinthe contains only small quantities of thujone, and it is not responsible for absinthe's reported hallucinogenic effects. Thujone acts on the GABA receptors in the brain and does not cause hallucinations. In many countries the amount of thujone allowed in food or drink products is regulated.


Take shrooms or acid - less cost and less puking.
Dj Cassidy 3:27 PM - 26 April, 2007
yea just watch out with that shit. itll bite all of a sudden
FlexyD 3:29 PM - 26 April, 2007
Listen to KaGen anyting that has 70% alcohol can't be good for the stomach, maybe a couple shots not the whole bottle, me and like 4 of my boys got ripped of that shit a few years ago and I don't even think we finished the bottle between 4 of us.
tig ol' bitties 3:29 PM - 26 April, 2007
mushies make me freak out. Ill never ever look at those things ever again never mind take em...

Apparently my homey who dared me said he did an entire bottle when he was in Europe this past summer, he said he didnt hallucinate, he said he was fucked, but not tripped out.

I might make him up the anty, otherwise I am not gonna do it. 300 bucks isnt something that I really need, maybe 500 or 600 id reconsider.
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 3:36 PM - 26 April, 2007
if u pass out, who knows what can happen....remember, what happens in Vegas, or was it Camping bent over a log?

MusicMeister 4:05 PM - 26 April, 2007
If it's really smuggled into the country and contains the 'additives' that have been removed from the 'refined absinthe' in the states I'd say 'no' at any dollar amount.

On a side note, the 70% alcohol makes it 140 proof. Would you chug the same amount of Bacardi 151 and no pass out?

And on another note, if you do black out who's to say that you do go to the club but they lie to you to avoid paying.

And more importantly, if it's a full 1/5 (litre) of Absinthe who's to say you won't pull a Jimmy Hendrix?
MusicMeister 4:08 PM - 26 April, 2007
And more importantly all the health insurance in the world doesn't help you when you're DOA.

I don't know a lot of people that could chug a litre of 80 proof whiskey in 2 hours without blacking out or having other issues (alcohol poisoning) let alone the same amount of 140 proof Absinthe....

I'd pass..... Good alcohol should be ENJOYED... not hammered at a ridiculous rate to get toilet hugging black out drunk.

Your better off not eating TOO much.. leaves more room in the stomache and less shit to throw up and choke on.. and then die from.

don't do it...unless you can find a place to puke it out without them knowing, then the joke is on them.

I could do that no prob...

I am a pro at letting stink bombs off around 1:30 am, so I think puking shouldnt be a problem...
kicko 5:57 PM - 26 April, 2007
i'd stick to bud light and viagra, cuz i'd rather knock boots then chuck puke.

Im not the find a girl and knock boots on the first night type.
That normally just means they's a HO. That shit gives me the heeby jeebies. Unless they a 10, but in most instances, that doesnt happen. lol
kicko 6:15 PM - 26 April, 2007
Well i aint a Ho either but i said "i'd rather" then drink that shit. I used to work with a guy that was knocking all sorts of things everywhere, clubs, cars, dressing rooms... you name it, it was done. Even though he was a ho and all the girls know they still wanted to. So whats that ho vs. ho?
D Duff 6:49 PM - 26 April, 2007
Do it for the $300

you're not ACTUALLY gonna die.

on sunday afternoon when you're starting to get your motor skills back you'll be laughing with your $300. Change them into singles and throw em up in the air and sing "money aint a thang"

Now that I think about it, GO AHEAD AND DO IT. WE NEED TO START MAKING ROOM FOR NEW PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM.

Mr. Wright 7:58 PM - 26 April, 2007
Ive drank alot of absinthe and honestly don't do it dude. Your not gonna hullicinate, your not even going to have fun, your going to be blacking out puking everywhere having glimpses of thoughts that go something like this "Damn i should of listened to my DJ friends". It's definently going to give you alchahol poisoning from drinking a 750ml bottle in 2 hours. To each his own my man. Its like chugging a bottle of Bacardi 151 that big and expecting a positive outcome.

papsworth 8:07 PM - 26 April, 2007
yeah dude don't do it ... horrible idea
appleseed 8:10 PM - 26 April, 2007
Had to chime in cuz i thought this would be of interest. Here's the breakdown:

That picture shows a 50cL bottle, or 500mL bottle. At 70% alcohol by volume, this means 350mL of alcohol and based on its density, this means 310g by weight of alcohol. Since your body has about 5L of blood, this would mean a blood alcohol concentration of about 0.62 (g/100mL of blood). And here's the effects of the BAC

Blood Alcohol Content Typical Effect
0.02-0.03 Noticeable cognitive changes
0.10-0.15 Person obviously intoxicated, delirium
0.24-0.36 Loss of consciousness
0.48+ Severe coma possibly resulting in death

Absinthe is great...check it out in Amsterdam, drink it traditional with the special cube holders and have fun!! but uhhh...2 hours?? nah...
The E Head 11:40 AM - 27 April, 2007
man drink that in 2 hours only if you have already conntacted A&E (accident and emergency) and arranged with them to have a bed for you!

You'll need it!!
Nicky Blunt 12:21 PM - 27 April, 2007

tig ol' bitties 1:04 PM - 27 April, 2007
Well Like I said, he said he has done it before.

I kinda boasted tho and said I could do it no prob in my stuppor the other night, it prob wouldnt have become a dare if I didnt do that.
I aint doin it anyway. No many complications and too many people tellin me not too haha
MusicMeister 1:57 PM - 27 April, 2007
Screw call A&E - if you do it just call the morgue... ;-)

Good call ToB... hate to see a fellow DJ disappear from the boards because of something 'stupid'...

shiestO! 2:36 PM - 27 April, 2007
basically you have 2 hours to finish it right? if you just want to win his three bills drink water with it, drink it slow right up til midnight, go have 2 rum and cokes, puke and be happy you got 300 bucks.
D Duff 3:28 PM - 27 April, 2007
I think we need to call 'Myth Busters' in for this one. I'm calling Discover Channel right now.
tig ol' bitties 3:29 PM - 27 April, 2007
would they be trying to prove that you hallucinate or die? haha
djaction 3:40 PM - 27 April, 2007
Do you have access to the bottle beforehand? Possibly break it open.. empty half out.. fill remaining half with water. Reseal. Win $300. Send DJ Action $50.
tig ol' bitties 3:42 PM - 27 April, 2007
thats a good idea...I do have access, but if it opened before hand they might think something is up.
There is a seal on it, and they have seen it.
djaction 3:45 PM - 27 April, 2007
Hmm.. Take 15 of those hangover pills before you do it?

J_Static 7:50 PM - 27 April, 2007
Two things:

#1) if you have never had Absinthe or know what it can do to people....UR ON CRACK IF U DO THIS....

#2) Have PARAMEDICS on scene as a standby so they can do CPR and take yo ass to the hospital for a good old stomach pumping session.....

ENJOY!
