absinthe

I only ever got drunk on Absinthe once. It wont happen again!

I was with a friend in London. He was looking after an apartment for a couple who had gone on holiday. We moved in for the weekend with a bag of green stuff and a bottle of Absinthe. We necked the Absinthe in about 4 hours. I have memories of very loud music, and an argument taking place with someone who came to the door..

I came round at about 7.00am the next day. I was lying half naked in a empty bath holding a black felt pen. I had ink all over my hands, and strange sqiggly drawings on my arms. I got out of the bath and went into the hall. The tiled floor was strewn with broken glass and a thin broken trail of blood leading to the kitchen! My friend was no where to be found. I left a message on his mobile, then in a state of panic, accompanied with severe nausea I left the apartment, got on the train and went home. It turned out that my friend had cut his foot after dropping a bottle on the kitchen floor, and I had apparently marched him into the bathroom to help him clean it up. I apparently blacked out in the bath. Thats when he went next door and left me on my own.

I t was like the scene in 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas' when Johnny Depp comes round from his ether binge to find himself wearing a lizards tail, and the hotel room flooded and wrecked.

More like a hallucinogen/stimulant than a drink. Best avoided..
