Absinthe is one of those "other world" beverages... I'm not sure what its purpose is. Most people as I understand it drink to socialize, or to get a light "buzz" (which is a sign from your brain that your oxygen and/or water content in your brain is low). Is this "Absinthe" really dangerous?

Only if you drink too much of it for too long ( but thats pretty much the case with all sort of alcohol ;) )
The reason it has a bad reputation is because it was the only alcohol available in some back-water valley (because distilled on site) and some murder cases put the blame on people over-drinking it. So it was banned from store and labeled as a making people crazy.
Something like that.

edit:
it is pretty nicely explained there:

You are very welcome.  ;D

It would be an honor to show you more longdrink variations next time.

I trust that Jaegermeister will also be next year's unofficial sponsors again? :P

To be honest, i had nothing to do with that hype, i just gave the hotel the Tap Machine, the rest was done by themselfs.
