if you have to take one bottle just throw it in ur suitcase wrapped in some sweatshirts or w/e, you'll prob be fine if they find it you didn't know it was illegal.
honesttly not worth the effort for more than 1 bottle its just not that good.

safest way would be to just stick the bottles up your ass, hell you could probably bring like 2 or 3 if you wanted

Guy all I can say to that is if you can stick 2 to 3 bottles up your ass go for it.
I myself wouldn't do it, sounds painful as hell to me.

you wont get anything liquid, specially flammable past the gates man.
the best you could do is mail it i am pretty sure that it would either go unnoticed or they may not have a problem at all with you sending yourself some booze.
I can buy it here and you can in Cali also where r you landing?

I thought Absinthe was illegal in the States. But the best way is to ship it to yourself like the others stated.

I think they will let you bring in 1 bottle per person in your checked baggage without charging a tax. You could try to bring more and not declare it but then if you get searched you might get fucked. Just mail it to yourself. If customs gets to it (they prob wont) then you will just have to pay some tax on it i think. But take 1 back in your luggage they dont care that you are 20.

sorry yellow I am talking about the US here. since 9/11 and more recently the shoe bomber you can't take most liquids on a plane into, out of, or around the country. It blows. if you need to bring a babies bottle you better bring powdered formula and get water on the plane.

Yeah they loosened up the rules a few months back
I remember noticing a few things were more lax the last few times I was in the airport
I went to long island for thanksgiving and I was barred the fuck out both on the way there and on the way back, had bars in my pocket and a bowl in my backpack which went through the scanner and I was fine
im not 100% sure on the liquids rule but im pretty sure if its in your checked luggage it wont matter
ive been on a few international flights in the past year too and every time ive had sketchy shit in my checked bag and got away with it

that's pretty amazing in a good way. its about time we all stopped being held up or worse, harassed for trying to get on a plane.
next step will be clones from Amsterdam in 2liter bottles or something

I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

Absinthe is better in drinks, not by itself IMO
It's what makes the Sazerac.

Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

Even though I'm sure the absinthe I've had is total froo froo tourist hype bullshit I can agree with this statement. But I suppose that's a more diplomatic way of saying it doesn't taste good and should be masked by another beverage.
