The people in the comments annoyed me, claiming rum is 40%....Inner circle grey label (A fantastic award winning Australian rum) is 75.9%, there are probably even higher proof rums, I'm no expert.
I live in Dubai and absinthe has been legal here for ages despite it being an Islamic country and yada yada.I have had two shots of it back to back and trust me you don't hallucinate. I was pretty ok. I think it actually depends on the consumer as everyone has different tolerance to alcohol.
I was excited to try this mystery liquid. Now I tell people if they so much as bring the bottle into my apartment I can't guarantee we'll still be friends. That s**t is vile, vile stuff.
There are plenty of Quebecois beers that range between 8-11%, of the top of my head I can think of a couple made by Unibroue. They don't taste any more of alcohol than a regular beer.

You do not shout absinthe.

Do you really want him to answer that question? I don't think I do.

Absinthe is around 140 proof. Almost twice as strong as most vodkas, rums, whiskeys, or gins.

Real absinthe won't make you trip. It's just strong. The original absinthe contained less than 10mg of Thujone.
