Of all the alcoholic beverages that are available to be bought online only absinthe has any appreciable level of mystique. Its a fact that Mary Shelly wrote most all of “Frankenstein" between sips of the curious liquor. The truth of the matter, is that the fact that Frankenstein was written by a woman is far more understandable once it is known that she was drinking Absinthe when she wrote it.

Then there are all of the other fantastic works that were created by legendary painters, sculptors, writers and musicians while they were drinking the curious green liquor with psychoactive properties. This all can lead one to wonder and consider, can this stuff make me smarter? Can it make me more creative? Should I go buy some art supplies to have at the ready when I drink it?

The truth of the matter is that if you are dumb then you are most likely destined to remain that way the rest of your life. As for absinthe making you a gifted artist, the only thing absinthe can do is to make your jokes a lot more funny but that is only if the people listening to them have drank the absinthe, not you.

Because absinthe has a well earned reputation for lubricating some very interesting conversations, absinthe can have the effect of making you seem smarter but that effect only lasts as long as the bottle of absinthe.

Anyone who remembers seeing a friend drunk on tequila ram his head through sheet rock walls in their younger days knows that certain liquors seem to have effects that can't be attributed to the alcohol alone that defy explanation. Absinthe is just one of those liquors and the only way that you are going to see what it is like is to give it a try.
