Just don't drink too much... remember, the idea is to have FUN, not a hangover.
Also, I accidentally voted before I read the post. Oh well...

Alaskan Polar Bear Heater, you can get the mixing instructions from the first and original "Nutty Proffessor".
On the sub, they showed the movie one day and for some strange reason it hit a chord with the crew and we must have watched it 10 times. One of the guys decided to take the recipe to a bar and order one just for the heck of it.. it cost $57 in 1986 dollars to order it. Enjoy
I recommend not drinking at all, instead let your friends drink themselves stoopid then drive them home. Clean out their wallets as a delivery fee then laugh your ass off as they stumble and puke on thier front porch. Take the money and invest it in high return stocks and mutual funds. Once you have your second million, buy your buddies their dream cars as repayment and then and only then go out and get snot slinging drunk.

From: Euterpe Roo See? If I had only waited, perhaps, I would say something like this. They are making Absinthe again in Switzerland. Yay! Wormwood rotted the guts of visionaries like Hemingway, Wilde, and VanGogh. I'll take mine with a laudanum chaser!!!  Yes, I've always wanted to try laudanum, but you can't seem to get it these days. They are making absinthe all over the place now; the only place you can't get it is France, ironically. I can even buy it from my local off-licence; the only problem is the price. It costs £33 a bottle here, which works out to about $50. Still, a small price to pay for rotted guts.  |

Selador - I think Portugal and Spain are among the countries where you can still get "real" absinthe, though I am not a connoisseur. If you can name a particular brand or something like that, I can look around for it. I believe shipping stuff internationally within the EU is cheaper, and since its the EU there should be no special taxes, right? As for hangover remedies, though I never had a hangover, supposedly its due to alcohol-induced dehydration, so drink lots of water. I don't really drink but I have tried Martini Rosso (a brand of red vermouth) and it is delish. Also Bailey's, and of course, a fine, well-aged glass of Port |

I imagine that absinthe in no longer available in France after Toulouse-Lautrec wrecked the place. Laudanum and paragoric are no longer available (sigh) because they are nearly pure opium--they were the "drug of choice" for the Shelley, Keats, Byron/Rossetti, Morris, Millais set. Though I don't partake of illicit drugs, I have often wondered what it would be like.

If you're that keen on trying laudanum, just buy a few poppy capsules online. You can probably get a buzz from raw sap (heck, poppy seed cake alone makes me a little sleepy) or you can let it simmer in diluted lemon juice, and watch the opium come out. Mix with sugar, add to your favorite brand of booze and you're good to go. |

Euterpe,
I understand that laudanum was also used by Victorian mothers. It made a great pacifier for crying babies, apparently.
In my day it was Gee's Linctus, a cough remedy, and for the same reason - it contained opium.

Eggy, They practically give it away in Portugal; a friend of mine went on holiday and brought back two bottles of a fine absinthe for which he paid something like £7 each. Unfortunately I can't remember the brand name though.  Thanks for the offer. However, I suspect that if it were shipped, it would probably become liable for duty, which would probably amount to four times the price of the drink. Incidentally, I have never suffered from a hangover after drinking absinthe. I know it's a chemically different form of alcohol; perhaps it produces fewer toxins |

He'd probably find a clue about "Is peace on earth a pipe-dream?", as well. Btw, where's the birthday boy and what was his final choice? I'm betting on all of the above.

From: Margaret Mfume Btw, where's the birthday boy and what was his final choice? I'm betting on all of the above. I went and grabbed some pizza just now with friends.....had some imported brews. I am meeting up with my father, my girlfriend, and a friend of mine later for some mexican dining and most likely too much tequila. I hope to finish it off at a bar with at least a couple mixed drinks. So far, happy day for me, we'll see where I end up. Damn, I think I may of actually learned a thing or two from this thread....that's not too common is it? |
