Alcohol has such high shipping costs, that I don't know if there are going to be many sellers that take the bother or selling it.
-
Why would anyone sell alcohol on SR? It's legal almost everywhere. Not to mention we don't want hard and dangerous drugs like alcohol sole here! Safety first!http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/Smileys/default/cool.gif
-
When I was younger we used to be able to buy cheap illegal Russian vodka for £5 a litre. :D
We were told "it could blind you" which for some reason made us want it more, can't remember anything after buying it. I assume this is the kind of stuff the OP means? There could be a market for it.
-
It would have to be some ultra-rare and powerful stuff for people to buy it through SR
-
Alcohol does more damage to society and people's lives than all the other drugs on here put together. I'd prefer Silk Road didn't sell it and personally i don't see the point anyway.

Good point, also people might start setting up their own breweries and sell alcohol tax free (many countries have outrageous alcohol tax, especially in Europe). Those that don't see the point of this are probably in the US.
And to those saying alcohol is a dangerous drug, seriously stop it, you're being ridiculous. Used responsibly it's just as harmless as everything that's already being sold on SR.
Edit: Distillery was the term I was looking for, brewery is just for beer isn't it?
-
Canada(BC at least) has shitty liquor laws. Due to liquor taxes a $80 of Highland Park 18 year scotch costs over $150. What is more we cannot have anything over 50%, which means no everclear. Also, absinthe is limit to only certain types without certain ingredients.
There may be some money to be made on this. I would buy a few liters of everclear just for mixing stuff.
-
I could see selling everclear. It's illegal in half the states as well. Still, there isn't much demand and the profit margin would be slim.
And to people saying alcohol shouldn't be sold here because "it's too harmful", I can direct you to links for heroin, meth, and cyanide if you would like.
-
I keep seeing people say there is cyanide on SR but I have never seen it....
I can see underage people wanting alcohol, and like other things there could be a profit margin that makes it work. For instance, there is literally no vendors selling alcohol so the first person to do it would figure out the right price range. I would sell small bottles that I bought in bulk for large bottle prices if I was going to do it. It would either get bought and I would make money or I would have a stash of a drug I use that I could sit on and waste none of and actually save money.
-
It's no good to send liquid through the post, plus I don't want to sell to underage who I assume anyone who wants to buy alcohol is.

I do agree with you in a sense because meth, crack and smack are all extremely dangerous. The problem with alcohol is that it is considered normal to consume and therefore it is much more difficult to spot a person going the wrong way with it. It's also addictive whereas weed, acid, mdma, shrooms and dmt for example aren't. In my opinion alcohol should be placed up there with meth, crack and smack in terms of how dangerous it can be. In 15 years deaths caused by liver cirrhosis (the majority alcohol induced) will match that of heart disease in the UK apparently. It's everyone's personal choice at the end of the day but i think alcohol should only be used in hand soaps and preservatives to kill living cells (bacteria) instead of nearly every organ in the human body. If people want it on Silky then fair enough but i'm not for it. What advantages does it provide? It gives a fake sort of confidence but i can't really see any other benefits. It relaxes people by making them more para-sympathetic but weed and other medicinal plants can do that far more effectively. Has anyone noticed that i'm not a fan of alcohol? :D
-
I'm an aussie vendor considering selling 1.2L bottles of Johnnie Walker blue label scotch, the real deal in its original case, let's just say off the back of a truck;) They retail for over $1000 but I would list them for about $500-$600. I just need to confirm SR does not have a policy against selling goods advertised as stolen, as these bottles are. If any aussies are interested pm me so I know there is some interest. I would post unique pics for interested buyer's confidence.
Also I used to buy 700ml bottles of homemade sambuca and vodka from a guy I used to work with for $15. It was 50% alc so it was a little strong at first, but it grows on you. I would think if someone was selling decent alcohol at those prices then there would be a place for it here. Maybe not in all parts of the world but some places have decent taxes on alcohol and if previous buyers were able to get back on SR to leave feedback then that is enough for me to know I won't go blind. Cheers, Boyd.

No problem sending alcohol through the post. A lot of wine goes through the post because connoisseurs don't want to travel to their fave vineyard for their drop. Post shops sell boxes specifically to transport wine bottles. I would not be worried if the few underage kids who use SR buy alcohol, I'm sure it is much easier even for them to get it in real life and if they do have access to SR then alcohol is not the worst thing they can get their hands on.
-
I think it's a bad idea. Only teenagers are going to buy this. They are more likely to drink themselves into the ER, and then SR will be blamed. We don't need to be labeled as dealing drugs and booze to kids.
Unless you could sell something rare for a good price, like European Absinthe or real Champagne. Then you might get some interest from 21 and up buyers.

Dude seriously? Heroin, meth and GHB is fine but alcohol is not?
-
I've wondered if there would be any market for honest to god Appalachian moonshine.
Real Absinthe and real champagne would be nice to see.
-
I have considered this, I first and foremost came to the road in search of some of the finest weed known to man... and in turn sampled some mighty fine products. I agree that most people probably cast a dim view on alcohol abuse i would doubt very much that an under 18 year old would be more likely to buy alcohol than weed? seriously??
Anyway i find this thread quite interesting, I get pretty much 100% pure scottish mullugrem which is illegal I think in britain. It really is amazing stuff and had some fantastic nights on it, normally assisted by a few spliffs.
I really have fallen in love with the road, and i think it also has a fantastic community which makes it extremely unique.

Okay we have heard from people concerned about kids buying alcohol from here. If you agree with these people there is no need to post your thoughts/ideas because they are already here.
Some people however might like the idea, some vendors may even be subscribed to this thread to gauge interest. No need to derail this thread with nanny state ideas, there are a few limitations as to what we can sell here, but they are in place only for the greater good of this site. This is SR, not a church bulletin board, we sell almost anything, post your moral objections on twitter and let the pissheads discuss a possible market for their poison.

Seriously? Marijuana is famously non-addictive, and even more so for the obvious lifestyle dependencies daily users create around it. Using that as a point is ridiculous.

I am personally not a fan of alcohol, but no reason it shouldn't be sold here. This is supposed to be a free market. I understand not selling firearms, counterfeit currency, etc, but alcohol? No reason it shouldn't be sold here. I may be wrong, but most kids are going to be able to get alcohol through much easier channels than SR.
P.S. Boyd, you or Dickie should have access to some nice peach moonshine ;)
-
Buckfast tonic wine is one of my drugs of choice.
I can't seem to get my hands on it now that I have left the EU.
Would support a vendor with such a listing.
-
One of the greatest experiences of my life has come from a potion made of ----- marijuana, lsd, and absinthe -------.... all ingredients are on silk road except for the latter (absinthe) and i cant find it for the life of me. i would love to have the option of buying rare, discount, or outlaw types of alcohol, wouldnt everyone? im sure there would be great revenue in this. using SR to bypass govt alcohol taxes and laws would be using SR to its purpose!!! and it would be just like any of the other substances on here... alcohol is a drug like any other!
PLEASE VOTE EVERYONE!!!
-
Just wanna say. Prohibition is over now for a while. That's a Nay!

I too am personally not a big fan of alcohol, I only drink when I'm out on the town these days. Although I would buy a small amount if you shipped to Aus, I'm always happy to try new things even if it is just to say I have tried it.
-
think it would be a great idea. i mean, why not? its not going to cause any serious problems.
-
I used to distill some homemade corn liqueur(moonshine) and distribute it around my group of friends. It made great trading stock at music festivals. I'd bet there would be a market for it. I thought it was strange when I first discovered SR that there was no alcohol being sold. Though 190 proof corn alcohol isn't for everybody, some people really seem to enjoy it! If SR starts allowing alcohol sales, I may have to vend some.
-
I voted yes, don't see any reason why not, although personally I hate it, first time I tasted alcohol my reaction was "Is it supposed to taste like this? It tastes like poison". Even after lots of attempts I still to this day can't drink it without feeling like I'm drinking poison.
Could someone tell me in a sentence what absinthe is? After a quick google search it seems interesting. It gives more than just the standard 'alcohol high' right? The Psychonaut in me has become very curious!
-
I would love to see liquor on here. Kind of weird they do not have it on here.
-
If one can buy Absinthe, then fuck yeah! 8)

Absinthe is a high proof liquor derived from psychoactive materials, usually green in colour.
JOHNNY DEPP --- "I used to like Absinthe, which is like marijuana; drink too much and you suddenly realize why Van Gogh cut off his ear." lol
-
I think moonshine would be pretty cool to see on the road and I would probably buy some
-
Honestly i wouldnt bother buying alcohol via SR, but it would still be interesting to see some rare stuff. It would at least give me another topic to browse.
Voted: Yes

I think this kind of sells are already in place in the road i remember port's wine being sold from a guy from portugal where it's where they produce that kind of wine and it must be cheaper there.
Regarding the question I strongly agree with this new category since there's many fluctuations in prices from country to country it would make it easier for people to buy cheaper alcohol.
Absinthe related stuff you can already buy absinth kits and make them yourself but if they were sold here already made it would be wonders.

"I think it's a bad idea. Only teenagers are going to buy this. " from kitkat82
About the kids shipping alcohol, i mean c'mon you are starting to talk like politicians ffs "let's safe the children", "no child left behind" lulz brainwashedfag, kids can easily obtain alcohol from adults or from older brothers etc and kids can also buy drugs from here, now why the fuck did you even brought this issue to here?!?! trololololl's
And no not all people that would buy alcohol from here would be teenagers it would be grown up adults that wanted a cheaper drunk, no fucking teenager would ship anything to their parents home.
Regarding the damage of alcohol to the body please don't even discuss that because it's more well known than dogs farts.And why discussion that when we got a road full of drugs it's like saying hey here's many different ways to fuck your body up please choose one and pay at the checkout.
-
If anyone is interested, i could get some really good oporto wine, and maybe some homemade stuff similar to everclear with around 60%, its called aguardente or bagaço.
I listed some porto wine, but i checked with post office and the shipping is expensive...
-
I would love to be able to buy some everclear and real absinth! without leaving traveling to France or Driving 300 miles to get ever clear.

Not only are you rude and immature, but you are dead wrong about every point you have argued. How old are you....17? No self respecting adult over the age of 19 would use the twitter/facebook spelling, grammar, debate style (Which is not even debating at all. It is avoiding the valid and real arguments presented to you and instead attacking the opponent and making up unrelated points since you lack any logical argument or any reasoning) Sorry if it puts your panties in a wad because you were looking forward to getting shit faced with liquor from SR behind the bleachers after the Friday night football game, puking all over the bus on the ride back to the school, getting suspended and having your mom find out about SR and going to the media about it.
1. There have been hundreds of posts from TEENAGERS on here about how they wish the stealth was better because they are shipping items to their parent's house and they are afraid of getting caught or have been caught
2. Most of us on SR do not want for minors to use the site. Just because we sell and use drugs it does not mean that we are ok with 15 and 16 year olds using drugs. I don't care if they can get them elsewhere. They don't need to get them from here and we are not going to roll over and be ok with supplying mind altering chemicals to teenagers who lack impulse control and whose brains are still developing, Many vendors will cancel orders if they suspect the buyer is underage. If I was a vendor and I had an order from you and you sent a message to me with the grammar and teen text speak you used here I would cancel the order immediately.

As said, shipping would be damn expensive. With the absinthe, it would be smoother just shipping the HERBS that makes it what it is and not the ethanol which is easily obtained in any country.
OR
you could buy it here
http://www.spirituosentheke.de/cocktail-zutaten/absinth.html
I wouldn't buy it from SR but pure alcohol would either be good for making tinctures or to mix with water and get drunk for a low cost, provided it's shipped domestically.
Also it would be interesting seeing exclusive German beer for sale, but the shipping would probably ruin you.
-
I would buy rare craft beers here. I am a big fan of west coast IPAs and some of the best are not available on east coast where I am.
If anyone wanna ship me some beers let me know! Thx

Does the Absinthe on that site still contain psychoactive ingredients?
The only alcohol I would be interested in buying off SR would be Absinthe- my feeling is that it would be very popular to those here in the US.

Yes, ethanol. :P
As said, it's the herbs you're after so absinthe has little to do with alcohol on SR.

RE: KITKAT
......
:o Remember, different nations/cultures have different practices concerning alcohol....
I agree with you in terms of safety concerns. HOWEVER... SR is essentially about freedom. Here, in this place, there is no discrimination to be had. So please keep in mind all the intelligent, strong minded adults who have adopted the anonymous marketplace and bitcoin system when you are considering posting to a topic like this.
You, Kitkat, have a right to voice your concerns and I am glad people such as yourself are the ones who make up this community. Thank you for your input. Assume that this topic is for adults only, and please reconsider your comment.

I think there could be a niche market for specialty and rare alcohols so I would say, Yes.. Shipping is going to be high as the weight of these items are going to be much heavier than what most of us currently purchase.. Thats why I say specialty and rare, cus Im not going to pay you 5 bucks for a 6 pack of domestic beer when I have to also pay you 25 to ship it to me ya know.. This stuff about kids buying it blah blah, they are going to access SR and buy whatever they want, its not any worse for a child to access the site and buy a gram of heroin than it would be for them to buy a bottle of wine, so that point should just stop now.. Also I find it hard to believe that a child would waste time and money to go through all the trouble for a huge ass box of liquor to show up at the door when they could just get a tiny envelope with 100 tabs of 25i in it..
All that aside, I would love to see some rare and specialty alcohols available on SR..
PS. I've been to EU and have had Absinthe only once(tastes like black licorice pulled out of a cows ass!!) and its not as good or "trippy" as the media and movies make it out to be.. Its just alcohol, trust me!!
-
In all seriousness, this could be beneficial in a number of ways.
1. possibility of cheap prices depending on your location (different prices from different geographic areas)
2. access to rare/outlaw alcohol that is not found in stores/your country
3. more coinflow for the road
4. larger product selection for us travelers
5. beat taxes and tariffs
6. generating more bitcoin for the digital currency
7. spreading the joy of spirits
8. who doesn't want to try absinthe? (make marijuana potion with it and have a green dragon)
C'mon everyone, doesn't alcohol just seem like it would naturally be an option on Silk Road anyway?
Lets make it happen and strengthen out private/hidden/kickass economy!!!!
VOTE NOW!!!!!
-
i would definately buy a bottly of actual Absinthe from EU
me and the little green man would wreck some shit!
Also, im a liquor/beer connesuer (spell check not working) and would love to expand my collection with some hard to find foreign booze :)
-
Yeah, think about micro-brews that aren't available internationally/coast-to-coast!
-
An alcohol board could also give the opportunity for some entrepenuers to start experimenting with some new "cocktails"? Just a thought
-
I could get Absinthe (supposedly) in my hometown. I am not sure how good the quality is, or if anyone can get real absinthe anymore. I did some research about this a few months ago and I was dissapointed by what I read. If you could get some Absinthe that was definitely real and on par with what they had in the Victorian and Edwardian Era then I would gladly buy some. So long as the price is good I would probably buy some just to test it out, not being 100% sure it is "real". I hate going to liquor stores personally, I have been maybe 10 times total in my entire life. I always feel dirty when I go for some reason. Probably because no matter what, even if I go to one in the most upscale trust fund baby neighborhoods like Hyannis Port, Plano, Boca Raton, or Dunwoody... I always see someone who looks homeless necking cheap liquor in the parking lot and looking so unbearably sad.
-
Hyannis Port, Plano, Boca Raton, or Dunwoody...
you sure do get around

Oh no, not really! I have never been to those areas. I purposely picked places I have never been to but I have read are affluent. I am trying to keep myself anonymous. ;) Just using examples to exaggerate my point to the near absurdity (I like to do this, I guess I tend to go a little too literal with this and unfortunately since I am not able to use my tone of voice to indicate I am being playful and not entirely serious people take everything I say at face value).
It is 100% true that that no matter how small or big or affluent or poor the town is, the few times I have gone to the liquor store to buy there is always someone there who smells strongly of alcohol, is drinking from a paper bag covered bottle in the parking lot, or paying a fifth of Mr Boston Vodka in quarters or something equally sad and depressing to witness. It really does break my heart and I always find myself wondering how many steps away I could be from that. It usually makes me not want to drink whatever I bought. With that point in mind I have to say that an online source to buy some liquor to make a cocktail or two sounds increasingly appealing.
-
Also I used to buy 700ml bottles of homemade sambuca and vodka from a guy I used to work with for $15. It was 50% alc so it was a little strong at first, but it grows on you. I would think if someone was selling decent alcohol at those prices then there would be a place for it here. Maybe not in all parts of the world but some places have decent taxes on alcohol and if previous buyers were able to get back on SR to leave feedback then that is enough for me to know I won't go blind. Cheers, Boyd.
This is the kind of stuff I would be interested in! And real Absinthe. Not the regulated one.
Silk Road sells tobacco, so why would alcohol be any different?
Especially in Australia where alcohol nd tobacco are taxed so highly.
As for stolen goods, yes, I'm pretty sure SR has a policy that goods sold must not be stolen.
-
Alcohol on SR is a necessity in Australia. I'd definitely purchase some.
The detractors need to realise that alcohol is fucking expensive in some places. We pay about $35-40 for a cheap spirit 700ml 37.5% - it's ridiculous. Tobacco is already sold on SR to circumvent taxes, so why not with alcohol too?
It would also be good to acquire rare/hard to find beers/spirits from micro-breweries/distilleries too that don't ship the product themselves.
-
YES!
I voted yes, because, I would surely buy some rare stuff! I love rare Wines and Champagnes and there are many not available in America.
I also live in a state with a alcohol content limit, so no everclear...our state JUST allowed Sangria sales withing the past 2 years..,and that took years to get through for some reason.
Would love to see some custom homebrews too (Beer). I have bought homebrew beer with high alcohol content online before through a legit site, but taxes were ridiculous.

HOLY SHIT!!! 35-40 dollars for a fifth of cheap vodka or whiskey? That is madness! You can get a fifth of cheap liquor here in the US for 5-10 bucks. How much do cocktails cost in Australia when you drink at bar? Or a bottle of wine at the store? One more question...How much do you guys pay for a pack of cigarettes?

You will be shocked.
A standard cocktail at a bar costs $AU20.
The cheapest pack of smokes (20) is around $AU10. With the average being $AU15. A 30g pouch of drum or champion ruby (rolling tobacco) is like $AU22.
Manitou, which is what I smoke is $AU30 for a 35g pouch.
It is a daylight ripoff.
And to add to this, tobacco companies are now forced to employ plain packaging. So we no longer get brand names, we only get a picture with a dead guy.
It makes me sick the amount of regulation that this country imposes on such things.
And recently I found out that Australian Duty Free now only lets you bring 1 pouch of tobacco through customs. YES ONE. Not 250g's anymore. Just one damn pouch.
I would like to see more tobacco and some alcohol on here :)

The cheapest pack of smokes (20) is around $AU10. With the average being $AU15. A 30g pouch of drum or champion ruby (rolling tobacco) is like $AU22.
Manitou, which is what I smoke is $AU30 for a 35g pouch.
It is a daylight ripoff.
And to add to this, tobacco companies are now forced to employ plain packaging. So we no longer get brand names, we only get a picture with a dead guy.
It makes me sick the amount of regulation that this country imposes on such things.
And recently I found out that Australian Duty Free now only lets you bring 1 pouch of tobacco through customs. YES ONE. Not 250g's anymore. Just one damn pouch.
I would like to see more tobacco and some alcohol on here :)
OMG. You poor thing. You can get tobacco for much cheaper on SR. I saw some Maelboros for 33 a carton and some off brands for as low as 21 a carton. US-AUS dollars are pretty much equal give or take a few cents right? What is the minimum wage over there and the average salary?

you guys are so spoiled :P
in my country the cheapest bottle of vodka cost 70-80 usd
a package of cigarettes around 20 usd, so i would definitely buy alcohol on the road, mostly whiskey :D
I already buy my smokes here, at almost 10% of the price.
at least we make a lot of money in my country, but cigarettes and alcohol is still very expensive...
edit, i also have to say that for a beer lover as me it suck bigtime that one single beer on the supermaket costs 7 usd
My brother lives in the states, and he just cant believe how cheap everything is, things almost seems like their for free..

Cigarettes are sold on SR which are far worse in my opinion.

Norway? That's the only place I know of that has alcohol more expensive than Australia (except probably in Islamic countries where it's illegal).

I think with the right package its easy enough. Domesticaly anyway i know exotic fish are easily transported live, just triple bagged with heat bags inside a big box with heat padding e.t.c. ( this brings up another point, is it against SR rules to post livestock?!)
I guess the alcohol would have to be rare/vintage or just generaly hard to get. Maybe collectable in some way. It would be a way for minors to access it i guess but hard to worry about underage drinking when we are selling illegal drugs. I could see some demand if you could source some speciality alcohol. Interesting point though may have to look into this
.
People might buy novelty alcohol for a laugh. I know some spanish islands sell cans of 'duff' beer i.e simpsons beer lol. But i guess a lot of that stuff is easily available in novelty gift packs in the run up to Christmas.
Or maybe make some moonshine lol!

how mutch do a bottle of 12yo scotch go for in scotland?
-
A standard bottle of 12 y/o malt can go for anything around 18-30 gbp. You can get a blended scottish whisky which is cheaper, normally starting at 12-14 gbp.
I live in scotland and love my whiskey, i have quite a good collection. I also get what we call mullugrem, which is the raw whisky (clear) which i suppose is our moonshine. It is illegal and comes from some of the best known malters on islay. It really is an amzing drink and is extremely rare. normally the raw whiskey is sent to companies like johnny walker e.t.c to be blended in to a smoother (less powerfull) whisky.

Is it against SR's rules to sell alcohol? I've been thinking about making a few gallons of moonshine (ie: raw whiskey) or banana brandy (ie: moonshine made with mash that's made from bananas instead of corn etc.) and hocking it on here but... I thought that it was one of those "ok to sell, but no category for it yet" type deals. Would any of you lot be interested in genuine Appalachian 190-proof moonshine or banana brandy at USA-value prices?

Saw something about moonshine on youtube. Think it was a 'Vice' program. They visited an african country ( Uganda maybe) and alcoholism was rife. A lot of people drank moonshine. Made from mashed bananas that were left to ferment for a month and the alcohol drained off. was very potent. the villagers got wasted everyday lol. but think their was dangers of blindness lol. Any villager could do this but they needed a license. Then their were big companies that used processed sugar i think. Cant rememeber the name of the drink. Definately moonshine though

I'd love to be able to get my hands on a bottle of Absinthe. It is crazy stuff :) I'd say the logistics of shipping alcohol would be quite complex and expensive.

Didn't realise absinthe was hard to purchase?
-
Making moonshine or brandy is a piece of cake. Doesn't take too long and only requires a basic understanding of the foundations of chemistry (ie: distillation & filtration). I don't drink alcohol at all because I hate the taste. Corn-based moonshine doesn't taste very good in my opinion, but it doesn't taste *bad* I guess. Banana brandy tastes delicious - and that's coming from someone who barfs after 3 beers.
What I don't get is this - and this is aimed at the American posters... Why is everyone so worried about how expensive it would be to ship alcohol? The medium flat-rate Priority boxes could fit practically any bottle, and you don't exactly have to write "THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS A BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL" on the box.
-
I agree. I dont see the problem with this...

Where I am, it is next to impossible to buy Absinthe. At least i've never seen it being sold anywhere!
Whenever I go over seas, I always try to bring a bottle back. It usually gets a quick death :)

Doing some research looks like the only way it would be worthwhile is to make your own alcohol. Can get absinthe shipped worldwide for the amount you quoted if not cheaper aswel

Agreed.

I am interested in cannabis-alcohol tinctures. I believe a lot of other people might be as well, I would definitely by it if someone made a cannabis tincture with strong everclear, and tried to make it pack a really strong punch.
-
The only real problem I see with shipping is that if USPS discovers it is a liquid+glass container and was not labelled as such beforehand. Generally shouldn't be a problem anyway, but it's possible.
One time, I saw Delta11 post THC wine listings quite a while ago, which of course went quickly and will likely never return since they lost their cannabis sorceress. FarmerBob has mentioned the possibility of selling THC liquor someday, which I'd love to try.
The only kind of alcohol I think I'd want to procure would be Popcorn Sutton's legendary moonshine but I just found out he committed suicide a few years ago... damn Discovery Channel LIED TO ME!! lol. And I also just found out that there is already Popcorn Sutton's Tennessee White Whiskey being sold, using his recipe and techniques. So that's that.
So bring on the THC likker and I'll be all over it!

IIRC, I've seen RetinaBlast and vanessaz with EC tinctures. They show up sparingly on SR, but they're around. I'm sure many a legit vendor would be happy to procure some on request.

Okay, thanks for the info! :) I will look them both up. I got to make more purchases on SR and resale for business until I can begin purchasing for personal use, tinctures and the like. Thanks. I would definitely be interested in just regular alcohol too though, if it could be offered in criminally low prices from a third world country or something. If it could be offered in bulk at prices which could be resaled.
Something like 160 or 200 proof so it could be transported more easily and prepared properly once it's arrived. Preferably homemade in a distillery. Actually, this might be a good idea for me in the future, I know a few people who make their own 80-120 proof alcohol that could be sold on here.
Of course anyone selling homemade alcohol has to be reviewed properly and have good status to be sure that what he makes is good ethanol and no methanol.
-
Im for it, but not so much for the moonshine, there are far to many people that dont what the are doing. Maybe like someone else said, if its a reputable vendor moonshine would be ok. I'd be cool with absinthe, jager and g series, but only the non USA versions of them cuz those are the good ones
-

You do realise that the vast majority of drugs on SR were not manufactured in pharmaceutical labs, yes? Most would have been created by probably a decent chemist but not under ideal conditions, you'd be lucky to get above 85% purity except for a few substances (like meth, cause it's so easy to make from pseudo, which is pretty easy to extract at good purity without fancy lab equipment). I'm sure if drug manufacturers spent more time on purification that would change, but why get rid of that 15% of crap when you can just sell it as part of a pretty decent product for bigger weight?
Only real dangerous thing about moonshine is explosions from vapour during distillation, which isn't really of any concern by the time the product is being shipped.
-
that is what they said on that show about moonshine. about the vapor being explosive.
-
Absinth would be good (a mean THE REAL ONE). It's forbidden in almost every country in the World.
Or some of rare liquors.
Or some old liquors suspiciously cheaper... ;)
-
I had no idea Absinthe was banned in other parts of the world, guess we are lucky where I am. So in theory, I could buy this out my local shop and sell it on SR for a profit, and people would buy it?

It is all about a level of the main hallucinogenic ingredient in your Absinthe - thujone.
There are different regulations in different countries.

It seems like a bit of a waste of time for me anyway. Wouldn't this be an invitation to more underage users? Not that I have a problem with that really. I drank some home distilled booze a couple of times whilst I was in Vietnam and whatever was in it, made me and a few others go a bit loopy (not just from the alcohol). I did read also that the way that they distilled it, can cause you to go blind and a few people died. Considering the already ease of accessibility and on top, the shipping costs, I think this is just a white elephant.

I was under the impression that all absinthe marketed after 1915 In US and most of europe, wasn´t brewed traditionally from wormwood and contained no thujone. Some people in eastern europe marketed an anise liquor and added thujone to the drink in small quantities I believe. "producers are free to label a product 'absinthe' or 'absinth', whether or not it bears any resemblance to the traditional spirit." <- Wiki.. But I think you would be hard pressed to find a bottle of La Fée Vert like in the olden days.. I might be wrong though..
@naughtyDog.. I´d be interested what you can get there.. I love absinthe. Could you go and take a look at the bottle and see if it´s real wormood brewed absinthe or not and see if they list the thujone content?

NO ALCOHOL ALLAH AKHBAR

I think it's a bad idea. Only teenagers are going to buy this. They are more likely to drink themselves into the ER, and then SR will be blamed. We don't need to be labeled as dealing drugs and booze to kids.
Unless you could sell something rare for a good price, like European Absinthe or real Champagne. Then you might get some interest from 21 and up buyers.
these same teenagers could buy a gram of heroin and needles and inject the whole thing thinking it's cool. this argument is completely invalid.

No, the *real* dangerous thing about moonshine - moonshine that was made by someone with no experience specifically - is if the inexperienced moonshiner doesn't throw out the first bit (a VERY common mistake - trust me). If the first bit doesn't get thrown out, consumers of that batch are drinking methanol, which is HIGHLY toxic. If you think the possibility of explosion from mash vapors is the real danger, head on out to AutoZone or Walmart and pick yourself up a bottle or two of HEET (yellow bottle, blue lable, automotive section) and take a few swigs. HEET is what you're drinking if the first few liters aren't thrown out of a batch of 'shine.

If you're a concerned buyer, it's easy enough to perform a chemical test to tell which one it is. Though I'm not questioning the validity of your concern.
-
The first "bit" of product doesn't have to be thrown away. Any proper reflux can pull the, drinkable, product in a single distillation. You just hold the right temperature in the distillation column until you stop getting methanol. Then you bump the temperature up. I mean... you might want to rid a little product to clear any methanol from the condenser.
Pot still is a different story.

I think it would be groovy to buy some absinthe with real wormwood content in the states. If it was at a decent price of course. Bringing exotic alcohols into the market that other regions have a hard time obtaining would be a good thing. In my opinion. The only pitfalls are underage drinking and such. But there are underage drug users already present and I drank as a teen. I dont think it should be enough to stop it.

underage isnt really a problem. going through SR would be much harder for kids and virtually pointless as long as their parents have an alcohol cabinet. the only thing that concerns me would be prices, but i would be willing to go a long way for some absinthe; and yes, it is groovy.

I dont think age is an issue for silk road as theres no way of checking any customers ages for any product

right so it shouldnt prevent alcohol from being an option. besides absynthe though its so available in the open market. Would there even be a decent profit for a vendor?
-
Canada(BC at least) has shitty liquor laws. Due to liquor taxes a $80 of Highland Park 18 year scotch costs over $150. What is more we cannot have anything over 50%, which means no everclear. Also, absinthe is limit to only certain types without certain ingredients.
There may be some money to be made on this. I would buy a few liters of ever clear just for mixing stuff.
I personal don't mind paying high taxes for alcohol and cigarettes. And if taxes went down on it, they would go up on something like income. And it might stop 0.01% (360,000) of people from being an alcoholic. so save money on health care. double win
-
this could be a way to share low priced drinks with other SR members

As a scientist, I would like to see pure (lab grade) ethanol available on here in lab supplies.

Absinthe does keep cropping up, obvs the drink of choice for SR members/customers. So is it true it used to be hallicegenic ( sorry spelling isnt my fortay)
You know the green fairy e.t.c lol. Can you still get it like that? Pure ethanol dam sip of that would screw you up , surely thats easy to get, like paint stripper or something lol. Doesnt that make you blind lol

I watched a doc on it once and they compared it to an opiate high. Do not know about hallucinating though.
-
I posted this in another thread awhile ago and think it would be a good way of doing alcohol on here
I wouldnt mind an alcohol section as long as major brands arent allowed to be sold there. i would love to have a place to buy rare beers and liquor. The reason I say no major brands is too keep the 16 year olds from buying 3 30 racks of natty ice and a bottle of smirnoff then crashing mommys car. Keep it to singles or 6-12-24packs of micro beer or bottles of liquors that arent easily obtained in stores (absinthe, limited editions, aged liquors and wines, etc...).
Also maybe a homebrew section would be possible as well, would love to try some users creations!
-
Yes homebrew section would be good. We would get our own personal brewers it would be ace. I think people sell rare alcohol in the collectibles section at the moment
:)

Absinthe does not get you high in a different way from alcohol. I have drank many different brands of absinthe from all over the world and have been present when absinthe was being distilled (drank it directly from the still). My buddy is a chemistry major and total absinthe nerd so we have sampled many from his collection.
The myth of Absinthe psychosis (or hallucinations etc) is a negative PR campaign invented by the french wine industry to steer the public away from absinthe and back to wine in the 1910s. Think of how zombie stories are used to demonize MDPV, interracial rape was used to demonize marijuana, etc.
Absinthe will give you a different drunk from other spirits, as will whiskey compared to gin or beer, etc, but it wont make you trip balls. But it is incredibly tasty liquor.
The reason I want to be clear is because if an alcohol section opens up on SR, I plan to vend said buddy's homemade hooch and do not want to be swamped with 0/5 complaint bullshits like "i didn't trip ballz i just got drunk". I may also offer a MXE dosed option to remedy this problem (a personal favorite combination of mine, in the right dosage)

One last thing; real 100% authentic absinthe using all of the traditional ingredients is (and has been since 2007) totally legal to produce, consume, buy and sell in the USA. So if you really want to try it, go to the store and buy some. (ooh wait, you're not 21 are you... )

I hate speaking out in new threads, it fucks up my page, but this is to funny.
Why spend so much on opiates when you could just drink 150proof green liquor. LOL----I know more then that, but wormwood----really guys. Poe would of been twice as fucking fabulous if he dropped acid!!!!!
Hallucinations off green liquor----off any liquor if you drink enough of it. But I would not consider a fun hallucinogen!!! Ewwww, better off hallucinating on psychs!!!!
Worm wood, green liquor that burns pretty blue!!!
Guys-------really--------a choice drink... Please share with me top shelf label of Absinth ? Yea, there is a reason!!!!
Makes me sick thinking about it----fucking go drink ozoo in the Greek isles. That shits the bomb too:{ Makes me sick thinking about it:{ The vodka in Slovakia---makes me sick thinking about it:{
Kettle One---------- fuck yea!!!!!!!!!!!
Get me gallons of that for 20-30 bucks and I will buy drink from the Road, but other than that------alc on the road-----please--------do not drown the Road with the number one abused drug in the world.

I think alcohol on SR would be bad and here's why. The majority of things here are already illegal and there is no established system of taxation and regulation for them. Alcohol is different. Here in the US, as well as many other countries from what I read, there are not just regulations in place but a very aggressive taxation system in place. If there's one thing I've learned about corrupt government, like in my country, money rules all. With the media coverage lately in different countries I feel like it's easy for the jackasses to speak up in the media about how bad SR is and stop giving a shit right after the camera is off. Why, because there's no money being lost. Not gained, but lost. When you introduce a product that is taxable and use SR a a way to dodge those taxes it won't take long for somebody to give a shit. Once that happens, bye-bye SR.
With the majority of what I've read talking about selling and buying here to lower cost of said goods, mostly due to those taxes, I don't think it'll be long before backlash will be felt.
Sure, that's just my doomsday scenario and the sales would likely have to be quite large before anyone takes notice. SR already has a bullseye on it and there's so much invested into SR right now that I'd hate to see something like this be the straw that broke the green camel's back.
Unless the alcohol can be done in a way that it encourages the home brewers and discourages people trying to move product tax free I say hell no to alcohol.

I think alcohol on SR would be bad and here's why. The majority of things here are already illegal and there is no established system of taxation and regulation for them. Alcohol is different. Here in the US, as well as many other countries from what I read, there are not just regulations in place but a very aggressive taxation system in place. If there's one thing I've learned about corrupt government, like in my country, money rules all.

Damn that was a great post. Im not knocking it, but i feel the demand would never reach that level. I live in a state where you cant ship alcohol to and i love some beers that are only sold in other states. I think someone in the states that can get it shipped to them should open up to provide people like me quality beer and the same for spirits in Europe cuz there are great spirits overseas that are illegal here/wont ship to here
-
Thanks Krispy. Like I said, I also think it would have to be a large amount of sales before someone took notice. I'm not totally against the idea. I think it just needs some standards and guidelines that will be hard to enforce, let alone establish. If it were to pop up on SR I would probably make a purchase or two myself of some exotic or rare liquor. I've never been one to turn down a drink myself.
I've been on SR about a year now and really love what's going on here. The legit vendors and community are a real testament to why the war on drugs is bullshit, but that's for another post. My point is that alcohol is one of those polarizing subjects, as evidenced by this thread. I just can't help but envision a scenario in which the alcohol becomes a thorn in the side, much like the guns were at one point. And NO, I'm not comparing alcohol to guns. I'm just saying that they are both polarizing subjects, guns much more than alcohol.
If the category can be setup and run so that people are selling 100 year old bottles of whiskey and micro-brews, not party balls of Miller and 30 packs of Keystone, then it would be worth thinking about. I'm just not sure that is possible though. If it is possible I'm sure the ideas put forth in this thread will help get it there.

I don't want alcohol on the silk road. I'm just sayin. Yes we sell all kinds of dumb shit on here, but you can buy alcohol in stores... uh any store. Any where.

-1 for you, if you have been reading, not all alcohol is available everywhere, such as absinthe in the US and there are beers sold in certain states only and while some states allow the shipping of alcohol, others dont.
-
absinthe is legal in the united states see my post above.
also robotrippin, you against people selling discount smokes on the road? cause people do that.
-
I personally wouldn't mind seeing this marketplace grow (as long as it's integrity doesn't decrease as a result). Hell if I could buy groceries on SR I would. ;-) JK.
Don't see a problem wih alcohol though. People take the alcohol tax for granted--it's high, and it would be more cost effective for both private distilleries and consumers. I think that would be the main draw, not so much the hard-to-get-local bottles, since the tax would remain.
-

^I feel the same way^
-
hmmmm. I can make absinthe myself, with a far greater amount of herbs than the commercial kind. From what I see there could be some demand for this, what are you guys willing to pay for 1 litre?
40-80 usd depending on the quality. perhaps more...
Hmm, i once had a german absinth called ULEX ORDINAIRE, it has 30,8 mg/Kg thujon. if you want i could deliver this or all sorts of other absinths. international shipping would be 15EUR.
-
I wouldn't mind being able to buy Absinthe :) I live in the US so I've never even tasted it!
-
Oh wait, just read the posts prior to mine...
I thought Thujone wasn't approved by the FDA?
-
a bottle of ulex incl. shipping for 70EUR. would this be a good offer?
just pm me if interested...
-
any offer is a good offer in my opinion. it would be nice if there was a category for it since it is also a drug.
-
There is only 3 forms of Alcohol i would buy on SR.
1. Real Absinthe
2. 190 proof everclear
3. A strong clean Moonshine.
-
Home brewed beer would have been great to have on SR. My experience with big commercial beers is that they are made to reach as big as possible audience, thus making them quite tasteless. There are exceptions to this like Brewdog and many microbreweries, but those beers are quite expensive. When you make beers for developing your skill in the art of brewing you can experiment much more and make a much more exiting beer than what is made by most big breweries.
So if you are passionate about your brew, honest about its taste I would expect you can make a name for your self here. I have some friends who are very engaged in brewing beers. They have had many very good beers, but to register as a brewery is to much work and to expensive for them to be worth while. So I'm guessing there are many hidden treasures out there that would be cool to explore.
And we'll get around the way to high taxes that are on alcohol around here :)
-
..only logical to have a category. the pros outweigh the cons vastly...
-
Real absinthe is on the horizon, my American friends...
-
absinth is easy to make
ive ordered the herbs and made it myself, its a lot more rewarding
-
Ive wanted to try absinthe but didnt want to get "fake" absinthe locally
-
Champagne, white wine, and most lagers cannot be exposed to heat and/or sunlight or they will spoil. Keep that in mind when considering your shipping options!
I think this would be a brilliant addition to the SR. I would like to see some quality(not toxic) Moonshine, maybe some rare liquors, or homebrew beer!
Nothing wrong with a little booze on the road... except I think a lot more young kids will start using SR just based on getting alcohol shipped to their house alone. haha
Your stats say you have spent over 100grand on the Road in the past 10 months. With that kind of resource, I would think you could get any type of booze you want, no matter where you live----maybe middle east.
I have great access to quality Appalachian moonshine. Other then not being able to ship flammable liquids through the mail----and sending this stuff in plastic bottles would fuck up its taste, how much would you spend for a quart?
SR does not need alc sales, but hey, if the price is right, I will sell anything!!!
-
Ive wanted to try absinthe but didnt want to get "fake" absinthe locally
those are the best kits to buy
they just use the non psychoactive ingredients
jbuy the kit and use the correct wormwood and ingredients ordered from a separate online vendor
-
lets get this idea out. bump.
-
So I guess this never took off? An eleven page thread wasn't enough to convince an SR staff member to do what can't be more than an hour's worth of coding to implement a feature that should already exist?
-
I have shine by the quart listed. $40 a quart with free shipping. Can't put the link up, currently SR is running slow.

First post on here, been lurking for a while :)
I am curious as to what you guys mean by 'real champagne'? I can't imagine it's hard to come by in the states? Where I live (Aus) it can't be called champagne unless it's from Champagne in France (I thought this was the case all over the world)? The champagne industry are famous for being real pricks about it
Bollinger/Mumm/Veuve Cliquot/Cristal/Dom Perignon/Moet etc are just some of the 'real' ones? Are they really that hard to source there (I've never been to the states)?
Also, to those talking about shipping grog/ciggies to Australia in order to beat high tax, it would want to be some sort of hell stealth method because any alcohol caught coming into the country will be subject to duties (very high, hence our ridiculous alcohol pricing here)
-

^I concur :-p
-
If someone offered a legit Green Dragon elixir (Cannabis and high-proof Alcohol) I would definitely snatch that up for a few BTC
-
Sorry if this was already pointed out, but a lot of vendors might not want to sell it because anything weighing over 13 oz needs to be mailed from a post office desk (in the US anyway).
Other than that, I don't really see the harm in it. If kids want to drink they're going to drink whether booze is offered here or not.

You can its never to late I used to have a drink problem well it was more to do with the fact I was taking stupid amounts of valium which were literally driving me to drink it was like an inner urge very hard to explain then once I mixed alcohol with the benzo well the rest is history but as soon as I came off the benzos my urge for drink just sort of vanished I was never much of drinker until I went on a valium bender but the amount of damage I saw drink do to the people I drank with at the time and of course to me was insane its actually mind boggling to the think alcohol is perfectly legal imagine if vodka were to be discovered now it would be a class A/schedule 1 drug and then some!
These days a couple of spliffs of high grade weed/hash is all I need not had a real drink for 18 months and not had a sip for almost 9 months when I look back at my drinking days its like I am looking back at a different person but you learn you grow you move on you live your life, you will feel better than you have ever felt in your life once you quit the booze trust me!
-
i peeped the OP page, the only problem i see is customs...they'll see a fifth or something I'm sure of it...The ATF wants their tax money big time....but....considering its not "Illegal" to ship alcohol i don't see it being to much of a problem...
but yeah its crazy to see everybody outside the states going WTF this is a great idea hahahaha...i remember when i was in Canada and i bought a fifth...or whatever they considered it....and it was like 60 bucks...i was like WTF!!!!!!! At least other countries understand that alcohol is a dangerous drug if used incorrectly...
Its so ironic to see alcohol sold on the streets legally but we'd go to jail for selling a joint...i mean REALLY BRO!?!?!?! you think im fucking stupid???? Marijuana is WAY less harmful than alcohol ANY DAY!!!!
So in reality they just pissed cuz they can't make money off it cuz they don't have it riddled with taxes yet...so instead they can send us to jail and make money...because here in the good ole USA prisons are privatized...god i hate this fucking shitty world... its like everybody is out to fucking rape you or take a piece of you...
FUCK YOU WORLD AND FUCK YOU LEO

i was thinking just buying domestically.
get some good moonshine or absinthe on the dl.
no customs no problem?

I rarely drink alcohol, and weed is my drug of choice, and indeed the main drug I sell, but SR was not designed to be a place for stoners to look down at other people's choices. Get it? It is a place for people to buy and sell their drug of choice anonymously. As a weedhead you should be ashamed of yourself for even considering denying people their right to buy alcohol. The irony is kid, without pretentious pricks like you in the world weed would never have been made illegal in the first place, fkn twit.

This has nothing to do with weed or whether your a stoner or not this has to do with SR being somewhere people can choose something other than alcohol to alter their mind and if all said and done even if people had the choice between alcohol and drugs they would eventually choose drugs I mean why would any one want to use something that turns them into an irrational idiot the majority of the time.
Most people only use alcohol because its their only choice or maybe they are addicted or maybe they just like getting drunk out their mind who knows but the one thing I can guarantee is that if people had a safe and legal choice between alcohol and other drugs alcohol would soon get left behind and this is precisely why alcohol companies play a large part in funding anti weed campaigns and they should be scared very scared things are moving faster than expected once people realize that weed aint all that bad and can change lives once they stop believing the lies in say maybe 50 years from now I can see alcohol being almost a thing of the past it causes to many problems but then again this is the reason why its still legal do you think your government want you fit and healthy and thinking for yourself NO they want you ill and sick with a low IQ they want you to cause to trouble on a Friday/Saturday night because lets face it even though this was not about weed imagine if weed were legal and alcohol illegal the LE would literally have nothing to do any more and I mean literally crime figures would go down massively I don't know about where you live but here in the UK alcohol causes a lot of problems.

That is really cool and it is great how you are against GMOs and such too. I think if you sold in smaller sample sizes you'd get some business, like enough for one dose. It would be a neat thing to try!

Samples soon! I've decided on a sample size, they will be 100ml (3.3 oz.)! Give the people what they want; a drink to share and buzz to remember!

Great to hear... Thank you UnWizard!

UPDATE:
Since UnWizard has his absinthe listed in the category "DRUGS--> OTHER--> INTOXICANT--> ALCOHOL " I think I need to rephrase...
Who would like to see ALCOHOL as a main category on the site?

I have Shakedown Street's moonshine. I can vouch for it. Came quick (3 days) and is STRONG! I've only had shine one other time and that tasted like nail polish remover, this is a lot better taste and goes down smooth, has the slow creep burn once it's in you to let you know you are on your way to drunk town! I feel it is a good deal price wise as well, though I have never bought shine before. I'm way happy with the purchase and being it is friday night and I ain't got shit to do but get fucked up I think I'll break out my mason jar full of shine and forget about my pissed of girlfriend lol!

I support the move (recognizing certain limitations owing to profit margin) and am enjoying checking out Unwizard's absinthe listings right now, but I am somewhat concerned about an aspect that has been talked about at its edges but not fully addressed. Or maybe I've missed something.
Early on (maybe page four?), someone pointed out that alcohol does get mailed, and the post office is used to handling packages from vinyards, there is standardized packaging for bottles, etc.. All good.
There's mention of the tax man and how zealous customs can be. This is true. But I'm betting if LE got two hot tips, one about a cocaine shipment and another genuine Champagne, and could only stop one, they'd happily ignore the bubbly.
Thing is, what happens when you add these two issues toghether? Yes, bottles can be packaged safely - but obviously - and int'l shipments of alcohol and tobacco need customs stamps or that shit gets confiscated right quick. The cocaine (etc) is at least disguised to be anything else. Your Johnny Walker blue label is still going to be, rather obviously, a bottle of alcohol (maybe not a problem for moonshine and other home brew depending on packaging; unsure).
How do you deal with the mix of obvious product type and a zealous shipping/enforcement regime already in place? (listings of obviously stolen goods is an interesting issue on its own that I'm curious about in a general way)

Your Johnny Walker blue label is still going to be, rather obviously, a bottle of alcohol (maybe not a problem for moonshine and other home brew depending on packaging; unsure).
How do you deal with the mix of obvious product type and a zealous shipping/enforcement regime already in place? (listings of obviously stolen goods is an interesting issue on its own that I'm curious about in a general way)
This is a very good question, and it seems like the shipments will just have to rely on not being closely inspected just like any other international SR shipment. Obviously stealth and diversion are utilized to increase chances of successful delivery.
I think the vast majority of SR orders are simply not opened/inspected by customs, some that are pass inspection, while others do not. It's simply a game of numbers, and we are pretty much pwning the game...

I just wanted to get this off my chest. If you look back in this thread you will see me commenting(rather strongly) against alcohol on SR. Mostly because of the financial implications brought on by dodging taxes and corrupt government. As I'm writing this I'm waiting on Absinthe from UnWizard. I guess that means I've changed my opinion on this. Although I still stand by what I said earlier, read it if you care I'm not re-posting it, I do see the reason for a category and am in support of it.
I guess at first I was too naive to see the real use of this category. With the influx of noobs, mostly kids, I imagined people hawking Jack, Crown, Goose, 30 packs and cases, something like an after hours club. Just trying to beat the man. I was wrong. There are plenty of alcohols that aren't readily available to certain parts of the world and this is an avenue for obtaining them. As I await my Absinthe I would like to thank you guys for opening my eyes to it's real purpose. I gotta admit, I've never been known to turn down a drink and that moonshine sounds pretty nice. I might just be making my second alcohol order on SR.

Thank you for sharing on the thread man. I'm glad you are in favor of this motion. Please let us know how your experience with the absinthe goes so we can update our information!

Thank you for your support ROBOTRIPPIN! I hope that someday the restrictions on herb and alcohol content of absinthe are lifted and that my products can find their way into the legitimate market, but until that day Silk Road seems like the best place to find customers for my fine organic potions. I am happy that the community has been so supportive this far and allowed up to carve out a little niche for alcohol amongst the endless boards of weed and powders!

The Alcohol category seems to be slowly filling up with delicious beverages!
All Absinthe is now available shipped to USA, Canada, and EU!
Check out the potion shop and order a sample or a nice big bottle to quench that thirst for adventure!

I've closed my shop for the weekend. I want to make sure all my customers receive their orders and are completely satisfied with my product and service before I get swamped with another round of orders! Please forgive the temporary shortage, absinthe will be back next week!

I've only read the first and last pages, so don't know exactly how this thread has developed, but the first on my list of alcohol products would be laudanum (bet its already been mentioned lol!), the old 90% opium tincture, popularized by Victorian drug culture.
Another one like that (Victorian I mean) is absinthe, which I KNOW has been mentioned. Does anyone know the theory, however, that the supposed narcotic/psychedelic qualities were, in fact, an invention of popular thought at the time and subsequently exaggerated by later generations, because of its illegality? And thujones have NO real psychoactive effect? And the theory goes that it was really a strong spirit, with a few added herbal ingredients, and only made illegal because of its demonization in the Western media, at the time.
When I found out about the above theory, I was disappointed, but it would still be worth a shot. I'll have to read through the rest of this thread to see if there are any other unusual alcoholic products about.
