shit man.....absinth. I had that on my 18th. Got a bit too acquainted with a bottle of the stuff. I obviously didn't drink it all, but needless to say, i crashed out, big time.

I found it in an Italian supermarket in a ski resort a few years ago and it claimed to be 90% alcohol. I presume the other 10% was just water as it was pure clear and had no taste. I don't know what it was intended for but we used to put a cap of it in what ever drink we were drinking and it seemed to quadrupole the strength of our drinks! Which is great because it means you can enjoy the flavour of any drink you like. Only cost 10 Euros for the ottle too!

edit: quadrupole / quadroople

if you want hardcore alcohol... Everclear
will always be the best stuff for killing braincells.

Went through a couple bottles a month or two back. Nasty shite, and no hallucinogenic effects but it's definitely a unique type of buzz.
