"Gogh's 'insanity,' long assumed to be schizophrenia, was in fact a psychological disorder resulting from a form of epilepsy."

Drinking too much of any alcohol will make you do crazy things. The banning of Absinthe is total propaganda in my opinion. It's a herb, man.

Just a little hint, don't be drinking it straight. Either put it in a mixed drink or do the proper 'louching' technique with the water and sugar. It really does need to be cut down to be palatable. And besides, you'll be able to drink more of it that way!

If you do drink it straight, you deserve a hearty 'hardcore!!' from me.

Up here it sells for between $65 and $100 CAD depending on the brand. 'Absente' is also available, but who would want that garbage when you can get the real thing(ok, so it is a little cheaper)
