Darwin Awards

No idea, it’s just what they do

Flaming sambuca anyone? A shot of sambuca, three coffee beans and a match.

Absinthe is excellent stuff, so many variations, so little time.

 

[Dr.Al]

Never seen the point. Why burn off the alcohol?

I think it's to caramelise the sugar and change the taste. Guess it depends on whether you're drinking for the alcohol or the taste. I tend to look for very dark beers with relatively low alcohol content (which, admittedly are hard to find, but they do exist). I like the taste of dark beers but don't particularly like the feeling of getting drunk or the way I feel the following day if I do.

Don't drink anymore really. Did try a nice ale the other day though. Prince of darkness iirc

Just saw this, absolute madness.

I saw that yesterday. Completely Bonkers.

I wonder how much vodka was involved?

 

[Wozzaaah]

Copious amounts quite likely, plus they probably weren't even aware of what dry ice actually is, or that CO2 is an asphyxiant. I suppose it's one of those things you only know if you know.

In which case you ought to try this - pretty good for a non-alcoholic beer and doesn't have the gnat's urine taste of most of that ilk

A measure of Absinthe in a pint of Guinness is interesting

 

[cheb]

Absinthe in sparkling wine* is good, but it's not in cider.

*AKA Death In the Afternoon, but I've only found one barman who's ever heard it called that.

Would you go public or stay well hidden. Got to be candidate for the award.

Ron Rapp spotted bundles of the drugs while fishing with his family off the Isle of Wight.

I'd definitely have ticked the "No publicity" box, I wonder who alerted the media to the find? Possibly no one, I believe some listen to the Police radio frequencies......

 

[JEZGUZ]

Anonymous call to the old bill and leg it, someone's going to be a bit upset over that.

Yep, you really don't want to be the finder, or the seller on...

Darwin has a Lottery!

Absynth makes the parts go blonder.

Absinth makes the fart go Honda.

Just saw this, absolute madness.

I suspect lots of vodka didn't help!

Much more difficult with all the polis (and emergency services) going on Tetra years ago.
Decryption for the average Joe isn't really all that feasible.
