  Are you able to ship absinthe to yourself in the US? If you packed it in your suitcase, wouldn’t the bottle be confiscated by customs when coming back to the US? I was wondering the same thing but I don’t want to get into any trouble… has anyone been successful bringing these types of things back into the US?

  If there are any lawyers who wanna decipher Absinthe in the USA, feel free <!--graemlin::)-->

  Thanks,
  I think the safest is just to ship it back to myself. I am planning to buy 3 small bottles. So if I put that in my bag they might have the wrong idea.

  Does absinthe have an “anise-like” flavor? What is thujone? I thought absinthe was made from wormwood. (All I know is that I am looking forward to trying it on my trip!)

  I bought my absinthe from a little bottle store across the canal almost opposite Anne Franks house, the store guy posted two bottles to me which I received 2 weeks later and my boyfriend and I each bought 1litre home in our suitcase which did not get questioned by customs.
  I did not experience any hallucinations but one of my mates thought his feet were wet beacuse we were on a boat and our feet were below sea level. It’s pretty good stuff! <!--graemlin::)-->
