Absinthe

Absinthe

absinthe ate my brain,
absinthe ate my bairn,
abisnthe et ma barn
ab sne t a br in
  my brain, my poor, poor brain
          feels like it's full of cheese
          and a family of mice
          with sharp teeth
          and many many furry friends

Absinthe is an evil substance. I have nursed to many a vomiting absinthe fiend in my time lol!

We had a reading party, to celebrate the end of term.
We had some bottles of wine.
Then there was absinthe.
Our tutor made us play drinking games.
We finished the wine.
Then we went to the pub.
Where there was beer.
And more absinthe.
And more beer.
And whiskey.
And suddenly, no more absinthe...

I think parts of my brain actually died. Did I mention I didn't eat anything at all...

Stoopid monkey.

I think I would have been a lost cause by the time you got to the pub lol. How did the others fair??

Bad to worse. I stopped drinking about ten o'clock - couldn't manage the coordination to lift pint to mouth. Some of the rest were still blearily swigging the chewy dregs out the bottom of the absinthe at half past midnight. (I ended up back in the research club having failed in a bid to find something to eat. Even the dodgy hotdog stall had packed up and gone home...) By that time, we'd all pretty much lost the power of speech. I remember talking to someone about the time his "friend" got arrested for buggering a fox. Apparently, he'd seen it get run over and was drunkenly attempting to perform CPR. At least, that's what he told the policeman...
