As far as i know there are two different types of Absinthe you can get in Australia ,the Czech stuff which just varies in alcohol content ,it is good stuff once you get used to it .Enough beer can give you cramps ,if you drink enough... your memory will get so bad you will forget to go to work ,forget to pay bills ,fill your car up with fuel, etc,Get blind drunk on beer for three day and you will see things so bad you will never want to drink again .Like all things, in moderation and trained from an early age ,Absinthe is good drink in moderation ,probably good for you since wormwood kills worms of all things
