Absinth is a modern product originating in the 1990s.
Absinth is produced mainly in the Czech republic where it gets its Bohemian moniker. It doesn't contain anise, fennel or other herbs normally found in absinthe and can be extremely bitter. Often the only similarity is the use of wormwood and a high alcohol content, and it should be considered a different product. Since there are currently few legal definitions for absinthe, producers have taken advantage of its romantic associations and psychoactive reputation to market their products under a similar name. Many Bohemian style producers heavily market thujone content, exploiting the myths that surround thujone even though none of them contain enough thujone to cause a noticeable effect.

Usually drank according to an old ritual: a sugar cube is dipped in absinthe and then placed on a special spoon. The sugar is then lit on fire. Sugar drips into the drink through holes in the spoon. Cold water is then added and the drink is ready to drink. Also drinkable in shooter (strongest absinth ever is 90% and the weakest is 55% i think)

Absinth is a liqour that ranges in alcohol levels from 120 to 160 proof. Eastern European absinth contains a hallucinogen, Wormwood that really fucks you up. contrary to popular believe, absinth is not always green, like it is in EuroTrip. Absinth comes in blue, red and most popular green (a.k.a Green Fairy). In the Czech Republic, one can buy a 1 liter bottle of absinth in the grocery store for 230 Czech Korunas (crowns) or about $10 USD. Don't try to drink it alone, anyone who has knows that it has the taste and consistency of Shampoo. Dipping a spoon in absinth and then the spoon in sugar helps on down it more effectively.
