Why is it considered a mysterious drink?collinsmark said:Perhaps absinthe for me.
But before casting judgement, realize that there are a lot of misconceptions about the drink. A lot. If it's today considered a "mysterious" drink, it's not because of its innate qualities, but rather propaganda surrounding it. This is an example of crackpottery [perhaps unsubstantiated market manipulation is a better term] that took over an otherwise respectable drink.

I must say, the artist got the color spot on.Vanadium 50 said:Largely green, I believe. (I have actually seen the Degas L'Absinthe.)

Good question. I don't know.Krylov said:Thanks! This was nice to watch, maybe I will give it a try. Is there something that one typically eats with this? (I usually like to have something to go with my liquor, even if it's small.)
Haha that's right! in my experience, the more you drink, the easier it becomes to have another one. :-) that's why I like to stop after 2 or 3 glasses because after that stopping is difficult :-)Silicon Waffle said:I once sipped a little wine introduced while being on a plane and I slept for more than 3 hours right then. You sound as if taking liquors was like drinking fresh water.
We can be sisters. I sip some beer or other alcoholic drinks only during some special events. Drunk men look awful, drunk women look worse. Many people think drinking shows signs of masculinity (i.e strong men) and fairness (i.e men can do it so can women). All of my gay friends I've met at work are stars in drinking beer, they take at least 20 cans of Budweiser without having a single sign of a drunkard. I can take only 1/3 of one and almost get dizzy.Sophia said:Haha that's right! in my experience, the more you drink, the easier it becomes to have another one. :-) that's why I like to stop after 2 or 3 glasses because after that stopping is difficult :-)
And wine makes me sleepy too

Sophia said:Exactly. And I hate that custom to drink only to get drunk. I like that nice warm feeling that comes after drinking (actually, I am having a glass of wine right now- cheers! ). But I hate when I lose control. It happened a couple of times in the past, maybe everyone has to go through adolescence and party a bit but it doesn't make me feel cool or interesting any more.
15 years ago I was a serious introvert. My college days were always filled with loneliness and sadness. I didn't know when I changed myself. Sometimes I see me again in some of the guys in my office (e.g never want to hang around with anyone, always have some excuses to refuse to join our parties, team building events, rarely chat or talk to us but when our boss shows up they act as if they were very eager )Sophia said:...

The cocktail that suits your personality is determined by a combination of your personal preferences and the characteristics of different types of cocktails. Some factors that may influence this include your taste preferences, the occasion, and your mood.
There are various online quizzes and tests that can help you determine which cocktail suits your personality. These quizzes usually ask questions about your preferences and habits, and use algorithms to match you with a suitable cocktail.
While there is no concrete scientific evidence, there are studies that show a correlation between certain personality traits and drink preferences. For example, extroverted individuals tend to prefer stronger and more adventurous drinks, while introverted individuals may lean towards milder and more familiar drinks.
Your personality can definitely influence your drink preferences, but it is not the only factor. Your taste buds and experiences also play a role in determining your preferred cocktail. Additionally, as your tastes and preferences evolve over time, your preferred cocktail may also change.
Drinking in moderation and choosing a cocktail that suits your personality should not pose any major health risks. However, it is important to be aware of any allergies or sensitivities you have to certain ingredients in a cocktail. It is also important to drink responsibly and in moderation to avoid any potential health risks.
