We like to keep our contributors on their toes here in Facts, and what better way to do that than subjecting them to gloriously high alcohol percentages of Absinthe? From a measly 68%, all the way up to almost 90%, watch in awe as we (well...they) experience the unique flavour that is absinthe. (Honestly, we're just glad they're still with us.)

Leather jacket man and green sweater girl would have done this like if it's nothing

Yup, me too... UA-cam has us and there is no escape :(
I need a strand of green sweater girls hair so i can make a clone of her to marry.
ONLY 90 HORSEPOWER? ..... I’ll take another!
Crow2099 that’s creepy
"It's only 80%!"
The most Irish words ever spoken.
Yes 😂
Cringe comment
whatever you say, person on the internet.
I like 95% myself.
@Jake LaGotta Precisely. Goes great in sweet tea too.
I love the one girl who is literally shooting it back like its nothing then regrets it *right* after. Its amazing. Loved her can-can dance LOL
Yeah she's definitely a light-weight
Her name is not Shannon 🧀🍻
Her Name Is Shannon
It's the swearing in Gaelic that's hilarious
Thats how you do it!!! Never psyche yourself up, you can regret it all you want after but you gotta drink it 😂😂😂👍
“He said I’m not very hmm, then he got possessed by the devil”
Funniest quote of the entire channel
That was hilarious, perfect with the irish accent
omg, i laughed so hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"This one is stronger defintely, you can taste the strongerness."
He ain't getting laid
I literally read this comment at the exact moment he said this and it was great 😂
Jeffrey Shay lmaooo I’ve been looking for this comment 😭😭😭😂😂😂
I love the way he said it, like an alcohol professor 😁
😂👍
I wish there was an extra 5 minutes of footage showing them drunk
I think a couple of them vomited. :)
They're already drunk lol
I’d be drunk from one shot of that drink
yea they are acting really dumb on the first drink...i'd pass on watchin them drunk...and they did it :/
“She’s not wearing any clothes”
“No, fair play to her”
the most Irish thing I’ve ever heard 😂
The dude in the grey beanie is hilarious for his non-reactions, given that his partner goes absolutely apeshit every time
Gray toque obviously has Italian heritage and has Nona making anise cakes and even says “tastes like sambuca” I was howling. I was like this guy gets it.
Man looks like he doesn't understand a fucking word that's being said to him
Caveman king
clit crusader 15 bucks little man! Put that shit in my hand! If that money does not show, it is I you owe, owe, owe.; also piss or get off the pot Dante!
Jacob Robbins This one is stronger definitely, *I can taste the strongerness*
Rest of the cast : We are going to die
Guy in benie: Meh...
that’s what I though ahaha
"Maybe absinthe is for those with self loathing" I did NOT want to be called out like that lol
You can tell the guy had a lot of rough days and has a lot of experience
RED BARON lmao yes
guy in beenie is a fucking cutie !
Gary is good at pretending to be sober... until he says things like "you can taste the strongerness."
Lazer Bear or when you drink it it goes down your throat.
Lazer Bear lmao was just about to say something about him. He’s just too chill about it.
my thoughts EXACTLY!
and when you drink it it goes in your throat
"remember when u licked batteries as a kid?"
9 Volt batteries are legit fun to lick, you get a bit of a tingle when your tongue brushes the contacts.
Touch a front tooth or two. Occasionally, it'd turn off an eye.
I did xp
Now that you mention it, I actually remember chewing on D Batteries.
I did

Nice.

"this is the 100% wrong colour for human consumption" facts lmao
I completely disagree. That is *exactly* the colour I expect will cause me to contract consumption....
This has 666 likes, so I’ll leave it. I very much appreciate your comment.
Yeah.... Ive never seen colored hard liqure. Why would that appeal to anyway. This aint a coolor
guinness tho
strange ghost that wasn’t a race comment at all. Watch the video? Talking about the color of the absinthe.
That one girl just downed every glass 😂👏
Liv the blonde girl was just smashing all of them haha and then she was like “oh nooooo”
Nativeaboriginal its hilarious 😂 but also impressive
Kelly?
I'm in love! 😍😍😍😍😍, That 1st girl.... OMG!
There's always one girl who can drink any man under the table. It's the Law.
Fella with the beanie: "The contents in this last one is definetely stronger than the others."
Dude with braces: "LET'S 'AVE ANOTHER ONE"
Everyone Else: *dying*
Kasper Larsen that “dude with braces” was female- Kelly is her name!
@@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786 I think he means Joe, who was paired with Donal.
Ok. The girl in the black t shirt who's voice keeps cracking is seriously the best thing I've heard in a long time. I'm in love. She's perfect. Between the accent and the squeaks and her personality I'm just done.
Her name is Shannon Keenan and she has her own channel.
1:46 Shannon speaks in.... alien language 😍🤣 She is wonderful 😍
Back-off
2:46
she reminds me of Hannah mammalis
"He said "I'm not very mnngmh-" and then he got possessed by the devil" 😂😂😂
Hannah Hassan ha ha ha I was just about to post that 😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂😂
Donal was really funny with that line 😀
Hannah Hassan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
666 likes and I gotta not like lol so it stays
The guy with the beanie is a trooper
verunn cheekock but from the waist down, he has no pants on. Strong pokerface
thats cuz hes guy with a beanie
verunn cheekock and a moron. Hes doin everything wrong . you're supposed to serve it with around half water and a proper absinth. This is not even real absinth, y dumb it down like this?
Never had this many likes on a comment since I commented still listening to "Hey Soul Sister" in 2016
Pretty sure he's the lead guitarist from U2.
" when you drink it, it goes down your *throat* "
Oh, no! They're doing it wrong!
Everybody in the video: *is actively dying
Guy In the beanie: Mmm yes it is.......
Stingy
"I suppose absinthe is for people with self loathing"
:D :D:D
The older gent in the black shirt and gray beanie has a liver of solid brass.
The guy in the beanie is like"yah.. it's a bit strong..." Every one else is like "OMG IM DRINKING POISEN"
He's my hero
He's a fucking legend😂
"It's a bit stingy"
And hes speaking like barry white
I like how you tell how he did actually get drunk tho😂 his accent got thicker and started messing up some word💀 "you can taste the strongerness"
"he said ' I'm not very mooaa' and then he got possessed by the Devil" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
*You know it's strong when you're reduced to speaking in jumbled Gaelic and Pig Latin*
The language is called Irish not Gaelic
The thing with absinthe is that the first shot will give you a sore throat. The second one will cure it.
Can confirm.
more like the second shot also causes a sore throat you just don't care anymore
Yes and the third one will kill you and the fourth one make you forget that part ...
Very true
@@GrassPossum and that's how it works
White beanie guy is the male version of green sweater girl
He could taste the strongerness
Yes!!!
And leather jacket man
Where is the green sweater girl
They are brothers. 🤣
"You can taste the strongerness."
Good golly miss Molly!
Shannon is on another level of fantastic. I mean being that adorable and pretty is almost criminal, and having that great of a personality mixed with that sense of humor is just beyond grand
"that could melt a snowman" lol
If it looks like anti-freeze and tastes like anti-freeze is probably is anti-freeze
That bit was like straight out of Limmy's show, if Limmy's show was irish instead of scottish.
"That could melt a snowman."
"But water melts a snowman."
"Oh yeh."
MrAranton "if it walks loik a duck, flys loik a duck, and quacks loik a duck..."
It was more like "dat cud maylt a snewmun" 😂
Literally the top comment and simultaneously heard it as i scrolled haha
dude in the beanie trying to be composed: "This one is stronger, definitely. You can taste the 'strongerness'"
Cool Name.
Yeah cool name...
+Clint F Fuck Yeah it's cool. Just ask Mr. Eastwood. That is who I got named for but I am more of a badass.
"this is what bad guys drink!" I was literally going to comment that it looked like what the evil queen drinks instead of water
"If I thought me heart was fooked before, it's fooked now!" 😂😂😂
the guy in the beanie is so chill omg
Why am I reading all the comments in an Irish accent now?
@@buttons.the.zombie i read yours in an Irish accent too.
What have you done to me
I wasn't until I read this comment!
I did the same shit. Lol
That's why I'm like.. yezzir
1:41 OMG her expression was priceless. I thought absinthe only came in green flavor... They say Aleistor Crowley loved his absinthe.
“He said he’s not very oooo then he got possessed by the devil” 😂
That blonde girl with the big earrings is awesome. Only one who had the balls to drink it properly. Proper trooper
The blonde is my new spirit animal 💕
I had no idea what most of the words coming out her were. Not even sure they were words.
I seriously thought she was annoying af
How about Irish Mayim Bialik?
yeah I was thinking the same thing, the rest was only taking a sip but the blonde drank all of it 👏
3:11 Girl in the black t-shirt started speaking in tongues
None of them were her own.
When he said “it is um.. stingy”. I felt that
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
“That could melt a snowman”
“Water melts a snowman mate”
“Oh yeah”
😂😂⛄️
oh man that shit melt an hole right to the earth's core😂
"absinthe is for people with self loathing" 10/10
😂💀💀💀 I laughed sooo hard at that comment he made..
Sounds like I need some absinthe
And writers!
Oh, wait..
3:13 she literally does the lion king theme song 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
"But water could melt a snowman."
"Oh yeh."
I feel like Absinthe is the “hot pepper” of alcohol. Like, you think you’ll be a badass drinking it and it does taste good, but then it just kicks you in the back of the throat. For example, when the shot is taken, you’re Kuzco when he kicks open a door shouting, “Boom Baby!” Then suddenly you’re the old man flying out the window yelling, “I’m sorry!”
Bugg Has it’s criminal that this comment isn’t more heavily liked, mate. Fair play.
nope that would be the german "kehlenschneider" translate to throat slicer.... it is a 80% alcoholic drink with 100.000 Scoville. truth be told it is mor like a "i bet you can't drink this challenge
BMW30b Sounds like something I’ll definitely have to try!
Best comment I've ever read😄
No everclear is
"I wish the five last seconds never happened!" ROTFLMAO 🤣
*That Could Melt A Snowman* *ROTFLMFAO* 😁😆😅😂🤣🍺🍻
Absinthe is the best nothing compares to a nice glass of absinth. I was completely blown away by the flavor the first time I had it, it put me in a really relaxed peaceful and blissful state of mind I really love this drink.
4:22
“you can taste the strongerness.”
no wonder writers dig absinthe
amni nuruddin more like 4:20
Yung Berno please behave
amni nuruddin haha u got it😂🍁
I had tears in my eyes laughing at this!
Yung Berno that’s what they referenced.
lol I love the guy with the beanie, he's such a trooper with all of them.
The rest are freaking out and he's just like "yeah, it's a little strong, but nothing major"
LOL... in the end he says "You can really taste the strongerness"
I think he is feeling it
True Absinthe is made from wormwood. there is a neuro-toxin in it that can make you mildly hallucinate. It isn't just alcohol... tho there IS a lot of it in there. And for the record, just cause the homeless people do it and live doesn't mean you should give it a go :)
When cam cuts, he is crying alcohol
"It is Stingy"
JadedAngel14 the beanie dude is like this is nothin
Love Nicole's Reaction At The End
I love how everyone is gradually getting to that fucked up stage lmao
LEYLA90 you would too if you drank a shot witch is 80% death 😂
except for that beanie guy
it's all stupid cuz it's not real absinthe. They're just drinking terrible tasting liqueurs. Nobody knows what they're talking about in here
"I still haven't finished a glass, I fe ... I feqsd I fjef fee d dlkmq.. I feel l should finish a sentence! 😂
I just have made it to strike 1000 likes. Feeling power in my arms.
@@SkyLlive Reaching 1k likes on a UA-cam comment is definitely something to put on my cv
3:16 “When you drink it, it goes down your throat” followed by uncontrollable giggles😭
Everyone’s dying except the grey knit hat guy; he’s so chill 😂
Liza Vasilyeva it's called a beanie
He is surely a guy that drinks on a regular, he's so strong
I wonder if you'd have an easier time if you pretty much only drink hard liqour.
I like how the one guy is just like “mmhhmm yeah this ones a little stronger ya can taste it”
"You can taste the strongerness."
4:50 made me laugh so hard when he was oh god no joe nooo lol
Me too 😂
I don’t know them and they are the best people that have ever entered my life
I know. I'm kind of in love with the girl with long hair and glasses.
Shannon is such a trooper. She's like the only one to do the entire shot.
Butter Prime 80%? Sure ill chug it
Donal is usually the one to finish it all. I was surprised he was so hesitant on it, must have had a bad time previously. Shannon is the best, smashed it like a true champ!!
And then she was smashed like a true champion.
Butter Prime she's the boss
Butter Prime I'd happily go drinking with her!
Beanie guy is definitely an alcoholic
He didn't flinch ever. Never does in any video i seen him in. Just stays chill af
I wanna see them get him hammered an visibly drunk in just one ep
He can get it
I’d give it up. Quick.
Me too
LMFAO! he can taste the "STRONGERNESS" of it, lol....
'she's not wearing any clothes'
'Yeah fair play to her'
I drank an absinthe shot once and had a terrible asthma crisis, so yeah, the skull is pretty appropiate because I literally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Artemisia vulgaris is a plant where thujone is extracted from for absynth. many people who have problems with asthma and or allergies etc can get quite a problem drinking that yes
I had my first try of it on Friday, it fucked me up
Which bottle gave you the hardest time swallowing?
ive only tried the blakc which is apperently like 80/90% i cant drink this stuff for fun its more of a novelty drink to get hammered on
At least you didn't went blind :-)
It's like the stuff that Dumbledore has to drink in the Half-Blood Prince
you're so right
😂😂😂😂😂 harry please, stop
Dude, wow it so is. Man that's so funny. "No matter what I say or do don't let me stop" he immediately starts hallucinating.
😂
It’s exactly what it is. Being the real reason Harry couldn’t drink it. Being under the age and all that.
I love the girl with the ponytail dipped the 80% blue glass and got so drunk after
Buddy with the "ab" + "synth" Major props HAHAA
"Death is upon us, I already dig me grave outside..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one noticed her cupping her tit in her hand?
Yeah.... she is....
If you look up the word "cute" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Shannon. She encompasses every possible meaning of the word.
J-Me 🙈😊💖
L benson 🖑💖
"that could melt a snowman!" bloody hell xD
I once set out to prove that getting drunk was a myth. So one faithful evening (around 5 am), I took a glass cup and drank 6 teensie-weensie shots of Absinthe ( half a bottle) on an empty stomach. 6 hours, a broken sink , a barfed up bathroom, and a defeated liver later, I finally understood the truth: Absinthe really tastes like gobshite. Spent the next few weeks drinking regular water with an aftertaste of wormwood. Mmmm delicious.~
He said "im not very ..."
and then he got possed by devil
LOL
Michael Jefferson the profile pick got me dead
Michael Jefferson that guys 😆
I once drank it neat, that's 17 hours of my life I will never remember. I almost choked in my own vomit, and till now I can't go near Absinthe without getting sick.
Good times.
All I used to drink was absinthe, never neat though 😂 that’d be god aweful
You probably drank one of these cheap high proof liquors with lots of artificial flavours and colouring as seen in the vid. None of which is actually Absinthe.
Real absinthe is almost too strong to even drink neat. Also, the flavors of real absinthe are awesome when made into the traditional cocktail. Also, real absinthe is a much much duller color.
@@TheFlagnard2 Whoa! Okay.
Did that with whiskey, two different whiskey, black label bushmills and a litre bottle of Jack Daniels, I’ll never drink whiskey or enjoy it again
Watching some of my faves again as it pours down rain on the 4th of July. Just noticed, Shannon, you have the prettiest eyes!!
Fella in the Adidas shirt reminds me of this guy I went to school with.
R.I.P. to my guy Tela! 🙏🏾
the beanie boi is an absolute beast
Sid Money for real tho
He's a monster
lol for sure, and the thing beside him is fucking hideous!
you ever been that one guy who can drink and not be loud and obnoxious, and is surrounded by people who cant?
Sid Money I wish he was in more videos!
When that guy said he casually licked batteries for fun as a kid I burst out laughing. Maybe because it's 3am or maybe because of how normal he was about it. 😂
I did that too! The 9volt ones. big Duracell
Two kinds of people in the world...
Before snowflakes, everyone did that.
Car batteries anyone?
Martin Kratky lol wtf!?
This has to be one of my favorites - Shannon is hilarious! Her reactions here are some of the funniest I've seen...her buddy doesn't seem to be doing too well either, lol♥️
The beanie guy is awesome drinks a 90% Absinthe
has no problems at all
is just saying you can definetly taste the stronginess
like what is his stomach made of?! Steel?!
"You can taste the strongerness" 😂
Summer Matherly Best line in the video!
and what's funny is how he's trying to look casual
Summer Matherly A* for Grammar😂😂
*Acting like he is perfectly fine*
he's not trying, he is
The older you get the more you realize that the most fun part about alcohol is watching other people consume it and then acting like fools. All the enjoyment and none of the hangover or sickness.
wpl 🙌Truth!
In my Irish family full of alcoholics with me being the only one not drinking, I realized this at age seven
Luckily I realized this at 19
I absolutely LOVE absinthe! I wish I could've been there to have a go at it!
I love how the guy in the grey beanie is pretty unfazed. While his everyone else is virtually gagging and can barely talk, he’s just here like “Wow. That’s strong.”
fun fact, if you take 5 shots of absinthe in a row you can see god!
Did that, only woke up with an ex
ItsYahBoiSKINNY there are two. Lol
@@anoobis745 I'm so proud of this community
You all make me think that maybe I drink too much
@@zacharycrank6606 you probably do
"He said he's not very hmm hm hmm, and then got possessed by the Devil." I fucking lost it laughing at that point! 😂
...i fell off the freakin' chair when he said that!! ha ha ha ha
I've replayed that part severally and I'm still laughing 😂😂
"When you drink it it goes down your throat."
*laughs*
"This is what bad guys drink!"
Best line ever 🤣🤣
3:08 "I still haven't finished a glass thou-I feel like I should fin-I feel... I feel like I should finish a *sentence*" that cracked me for a good 5 minutes straight!
"I don't want to do this right now. I think I have to quit -- everything."
Best. Comment. Ever.
The blonde chick is literally me everytime I take shots. 🤣😂
The lass with the hoop earings, is quite lovely.
Hot guy is totally unbothered lol
Hot guy looks like nickelback vocalist..
This is why I like FACTS, they are real, charming people. I bet if BuzzFeed did this they would act like they were hallucinating or something.
Balzsack mcdouchwad they actually did do this, and you're not far off lol
Balzsack mcdouchwad they did fake it haha
The original absynth made u trip but not from the alc btw
Imagine getting the green Absinthe and telling your friends it's gator-ade lol.
Diabolical. 😂😂😂
I need to do that now. It's becoming an obsession to do that.
no, no, no, ... mountain dew.
@2:07 "That can melt a snowan" , I love his accent :)
"you can taste the strongerness". The Edge impersonator, 2017
Xam271 strongerness made me actually laugh out loud
This is probably considered a soft drink for children in Russia
jjj. Htx Very true. I've been to Russia a few times, very true indeed.
wtf it`s the most stupid thing that i have ever heard (even if it`s a joke)
+tyler dun You obviously have never been to Russia, it's very true. The adults drink the green Absinthe like water.
CoolerPlays no that's wrong the absinthe drinks them
Not at all, Absinthe is very strong(both in terms of alcohol content and taste experience) by any standards. It's why I like it.
I'm from the US. I drink absinthe regularly. Multiple brands & its hard to find or I have to special order it. It's an acquired taste. It takes experience to dilute it. You eventually figure out your ratio. Me personally, I don't use sugar in my drinks. All these brands shown I haven't tried. So thanks! Time to put in requests to my local liquor store.
This is on my bucket list now
*THIS IS WHAT BAD GUYS DRINK*
I Love absinth and I ain't no bad guy...
Then I'm bad to the bone, cause I finished a whole bottle of blue one on my 33rd birthday and on the following day I went to a cinema with an Irish girl.
Chloe Chamberlain why did I scroll down and read this at the exact moment he said it
It looks more like blackcurrent Ribena
Chloe Chamberlain and Absinthe Candy is what bad girls eat LOL go to Lolly & Pop's
“You can taste the strongerness”
First time I drank absinthe at 80% I thought I was going to die because I was used to 40% alcohol. Now I drink it without problems :)
