the part about hallucinating on it is just a myth. It's just really good liquor, kind of like what moonshine is to the South. It was just illegal in the United States because of how potent it was but apparently they found a way to make it less potent which is what you can buy here. As far as the sugar and water go, the water makes it white and cloudy in a way and the sugar cube just sweetens it a bit and helps with the flavor, and the water makes the flavor not so overwhelming, but I always just drink it straight. I know a lot of people who can't tolerate The Taste and refuse to drink it. It is a very strong Taste of Bison Grass which is what they use to flavor black jelly beans and the first few drinks burn your stomach like fire but then once you start getting drunk it goes away. But just like the worm in a bottle of Mezcal making you hallucinate, Absinthe making you hallucinate is just a myth as well.
