My husband suggested we crack open the absinthe last night, but I chickened out and made us a vodka and soda instead, mumbling something about absinthe being 'too complicated... spoon thingy... sugar...' but truth was I'm a little chicken to unleash the fee vert at 10 pm on a monday night.

I wouldn't worry about it so much, Jane. It's just a very pleasant kick. What is nice is that it is not a "down drunk", but an "up", inspiring drunkeness, and the spoon and sugar on fire thing is just a nice meditational ritual in this day and age of fast consumption. There are no hallucinations, just a happy high, and good deep sleep afterwards. That's all.
