Update: okay, so, the bottle I bought got very poor reviews on the net, and there wasn't much flavor or scent other than anise. However, I don't know if it was the great alcohol content or what, but it produced a very, um, serious buzz. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but different drinks provide different kinds of buzzes:
-beer: blotto, messy -wine: descends like a cloak upon you, makes you sleepy -gin: calming
Absinthe seemed to grab my brain and keep it sharp while at the same time really messing it up. Also, my sleep was affected.
If I drink wine just before I go to bed, I sleep soundly for a few hours then wake up with a bit of insomnia.
If I drink gin, I nod off to sleep and typically stay asleep all night.
Last night, when I went to bed, I had a very active brain and was thinking of all sorts of things; it took me a while to get to sleep. And the my entire night was filled with incredibly intense, colorful dreams. They were dreams of power: I was kicking ass in some way shape or form I can't recall now that I'm awake.

Was it due to the absinthe? I don't know.
