Tried it 5 more times with different brands, all on an empty stomach - same.

Anybody else seem to not get any effect, per se?

Damn you're a trooper! Good job on the psychotronic research frontline. Reminds me of that thread where the kid (smurf?) was talking about drinking a six pack and taking a vicodin. Said he slept until 4pm the next afternoon ("I'll never do it again"). I was thinking it wouldn't even have made me sleepy. I've wondered if the effects of absinthe might be too subtle for some us with gargantuan tolerances. T-Lautrec was a smaller fellow after all.

I'm gonna make an effort to get some vodka and start this kit post haste.

On a similar note...anyone ever have "Cristalizado," an anise based liqueur from either Spain or Portugal? Each bottle had an "interesting" plant stalk in it and the liqueur would actually form a crystalline substance around the twig. Very nice stuff.
