Drinking doesn't make me a loser, little one.

depends, if you do it every now and than to relax, fine, but if you do it as a hobby, getting drunk in the process, than yes you are a loser. If you have ever drank and drove, been drunk in public, you are a loser. If drinking is why you look forward to weekends, you are a loser. Drinking isn't a hobby, or a way of life. Having one glass of wine a day is considered healthy, that's fine. Drinking a LITTLE bit on the weekends AT HOME, when your kids are gone, to feel relaxed a get a small buzz is fine. Bars are a disgrace, simply because of the % of those people that drive after drinking all night. I made the mistake of eating at Denny's during there bar rush one night, and I heard half a dozen people talk about almost wrecking on the way to Denny's cause they are too drunk to drive.

Certainly one could dislike many of the undesirable effects of alcohol and of alcoholism, but to extend it to the point that you create yourself out of the fact that you have not drank for an extend period of time is rather childish.

touche, although I don't do it, doesn't mean I haven't observed it's effects on other people. My first car was totaled by a drunk driver. Luckily it was parked on the curb. My grandfather died after being hit head on by a drunk driver. These things in no way make me unique. I'm sure every one who reads this has in some way however slight been the victim of alcohol abuse. Abuse being the key word. I'm fine with those that don't abuse alcohol. Unfortunatley, those that do abuse it, mess up the privilege for others.

Are you like almost 7 feet tall by any chance?

Wikipediaaaa wrote:The prevailing consensus of interpretation of United States law and regulations among American absinthe connoisseurs is that, with the revision of thujone levels by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), it is now legal to purchase such a product for personal use in the U.S.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food and beverages that contain Artemisia species must be thujone free[78]. Thujone free is defined as containing less than 10ppm thujone.[79] There is no corresponding US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulation.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is inconsistent in saying whether Absinthe may or may not be imported. The Know Before You Go booklet flatly states "The importation of Absinthe and any other liquors or liqueurs that contain Artemisia absinthium is prohibited."[80] while the CBP's Prohibited and Restricted Items web page states that the importation of absinthe is not "prohibited" but subject to FDA and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approval like other distilled spirits.[81] Absinthe can be and occasionally is seized by United States Customs if it appears to be for human consumption and can be seized inside the US with a warrant.[82][83]

A faux-absinthe liquor called Absente, made with southern wormwood (Artemisia abrotanum) instead of grande wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), is sold legally in the United States. This was the first US approval referring to "absinthe" on the front label; the front label says "Absinthe Refined" but the TTB classified the product as liqueur.

In 2007, TTB relaxed the US absinthe ban, and approved several brands for sale.[84] These brands must pass TTB testing, which is performed by the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry method[85]. The TTB considers a product to be thujone-free if the FDA’s test measures less than 10ppm (equal to 10mg/kg) thujone.[86] A US distillery also began producing and selling absinthe, the first US company to do so since 1912.[87]

Wikipedia thinks so, too.

The Wormwood Society wrote:Yes, these are authentic 19th century-style absinthes. The European Union and the US have food standards in place that directly and indirectly regulate absinthe's botanical content, and recent progress in knowledge of regulatory matters and distilling practice have made it possible to produce fully authentic absinthes which will meet US regulations.

While these Absinthe's are not absolutely 100% thujone free, the concentration of thujone falls within the current TTB standard for Thujone screening: 10ppm, roughly 10mg per liter, which is the European Union standard. Not that it matters much, because it's already been amply demonstrated that Thujone is unimportant to the quality or authenticity of absinthe.

Fill a rocks glass with ice.

1 1/2 oz. Scotch
1/2 oz. Drambuie
Always pour the Drambuie last to allow it to mix with the lighter Scotch.
