Speaking of liquor, I tried absinthe for the first time recently, and it's been an interesting experience. It's very soft and doesn't burn at all when sipped, slightly bitter so goes well with something sweet on the side. Then I tried to down the whole shot at once, and oh boy, it turned into green drink of death right away - the bitterness became so intense I caught myself wheezing for minutes straight and my eyes and nose kept pouring profusely. It also made me immediately drunk as if I downed a whole bottle of vodka at once. Definitely something to drink responsibly.
