Absinthe and rotgut both taste like shit. At least the latter is cheap.

JCC's smart. He'll figure it out in a couple of years.

It has a better history as well... what with Frank the Body Snatcher and all. Damned college Resurrectionists.

Absinthe is quite nice, but I really prefer Jägermeister.

Jägermeister is like hell in my mouth.
I'll just stick to Tennants.

Screech is my vile-tasting drink of choice. It's as close as I can get to consuming paint supplies without seriously poisoning myself.
But then again, I've never tried absinthe or rotgut, and I don't really remember what Jäger tastes like...

Generally speaking I don't really do cheap drinks, for the most part I'm a top shelf kind of girl, though I do think Ice 101 is rather yummy and it seems work pretty damn quick

I don't know much about alcohol and I don't drink often, but a glass or two of straight Wild Turkey keeps me happy.
I wouldn't masturbate to Kontan but I want him up my butt.

I guess you're so individual that your entire superego is shaped by your own musings, then?

So, you have had absinthe, then? Or are you basing your preference on a his?

What's with all of the high-alcohol poison? Do you guys actually savor your drinks or do you only care about getting trashed?

It's the Christmas season here in the states. So, it is about making this month as blurry as possible so that the annoyance is abated.
After the first of the year, when people look at their holiday-debt and still-dysfunctional families that said debt did not fix... then, I can savor something.

Of course I savor them. I savor the ones that I enjoy, because they're usually expensive. If I want to get hammered I'll get supermarket vodka or bordeaux.

I haven't got a preference, I haven't tried either. I was making a joke before Christabel decided to show how like, totally weird she is!

Don't. Absinthe is terrible. It stinks of black licorice, and tastes even worse. Don't believe the shitty hype about Wormwood, either. If you want to hallucinate, go spend a few bucks on a tab of acid, or even some Salvia. It'll work much better.

I like absinthe cause it doesn't really get you incredibly drunk as much as it gets you a mental high. It's like liquid THC. I learned to enjoy it's flavor shortly after my first glass. The hallucinations are over rated though. You only really see tracers or lights look strange. Brighter colors. That sort of thing. If you drink it, you drink it for the unique buzz it gives you from being fermented in herbs instead of fruits or vegetables like most hard liquors.
Also, most people tend to try drinking absinthe straight. This isn't the proper way to do it. The preparations of combining it with sugar and cold water release certain chemical changes that bring out the elements it is known for. I get a feeling most negative reviews here come from people drinking it straight from the bottle.

Don't drink, never have and probably never will.
I don't understand the attraction of it, unless it's with a meal.

I'm well aware of the proper way to drink it, but I still don't like the stuff. It tastes like hell, and, as you pointed out, requires some preparation to drink properly. The object, for me, is to get intoxicated. If I want to get drunk, I'll drink whiskey; if I want to trip, I'll take some hallucinogens. Everything is just much simpler that way. The effect of absinthe isn't worth the effort, nor, in my mind, is the aura of "cool" that one supposedly gets simply by dint of having the stuff.
I find that most people raving about absinthe are more concerned with the "prestige" that, in certain circles, is ostensibly bestowed on a person just for drinking it.
Edit: Nice signature, by the way, EtS. I dig.
