Unfortunately, the movie From Hell, in which Inspector Aberline, played by Johhny Depp, not only burns his sugar but doses his drink with Laudanum (a solution of opium in alcohol), gave this savage syncretism worldwide play, and new legends die as
hard as old ones."

It was a good movie, though.

Personally, since I hate the taste of licorice, I'm not such a fan. I think you're better off drinking Jet-A.

Just stay away from the stuff that SkymonkeyOne serves in old mayonnaise jars. THAT stuff is From Hell.

Aparantly Thujone doesn't contribute to any hallucinogenic effects of Absinthe according to wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thujone

And, I very much hope that your not getting 300mg/liter because a solution of that concentration would be something quite fatal to drink:

A toxicology study of alpha-thujone, the more active of the two isomers, in mice found the median lethal dose, or LD50, is around 45 mg/kg, with 0% mortality rate at 30 mg/kg and 100% at 60 mg/kg.

And, your right, chugging 100 proof booze is pretty much always a bad idea.

Nah, I routinely walk around boogies with a bottle of Wild Turkey 101.

If you were already drunk, chances are you never did really feel the effect of the absinth. The "hallucinogenic" (more like a mild contact high if you ask me) effects tend to be cancelled out by the alcohol after a few shots.

You made a mistake in the math:

For a 70kg person:

70kg*30mg=2100mg

2100mg/300(mg/l)=7l

So to get the dose at which still 100% survived you need to drink 7l

Chances are the alcohol is kill you a LOT sooner than the Thujone.
