please always pair bobby fringe ginger with curly angelic plaits ginger from now on. too adorable. I want to join their coven.
Yeah they are an awesome team
patience 2281 And?
Definitely a Facts power couple.
It could only get better if Nicole and Laura would get to kiss too.
this
Orange Hoodie guy is good. He's a keeper.
I need to see him in more videos his parts in this had me laughing so hard
I just figured out why I like Niall Gleeson so much! He looks so much like my boyfriend and his 5 brothers. Maybe Niall is a long-lost distant cousin or something lol.
Youre not supposed to take shots of absinthe youre supposed to dilute it with cold water.
Might as well be drinking extract.
If it's real absinthe, but I doubt this is the real stuff. The usual stuff you buy in stores is way sweeter and can be drunk by itself (although it's still very strong).
French, Spanish and Swiss absinthes still have decent thujon (Psychoactive ingredient of Wormwood) levels while the more ubiquitous Czech ones have extremely low amounts to allow for international sale. Your mileage may vary heavily.
Real psychoactive Absinthe is no longer banned in the USA, I've got some in my bar, classic presentation is Absinthe in glass with strainer spoon over top with a sugar cube, this is placed under an Absinthe (cold water) fountain and water trickles over melting the sugar, then drink,it is 155 proof so don't be surprised if you get hammered easily. Drink two or three and the legendary "Green Fairy"the psychoactive wormwood extract kicks in. You'll understand Impressionist art better when the mind altering component starts to make everything look like Monet has control of your focus. The Pernod isn't as strong and is a refreshing drink with ice and, cold water. Never have I seen either downed as a straight shot in France. If anise flavor isn't your thing these are not for you, they aren't cheap either, Pernod $35. and Absinthe $65. in my state, I'm sure this is somewhat variable.
i
iroam maori Absinthe never had any psychoactive properties, that rumor was created by wine makers after Absinthe nearly replaced wine as the most popular drink in France. After a guy who had practically inhaled alcohol all day came home, had a glass of absinthe and murdered his family wine makers started claiming absinthe rotted his brain and made him do it, and they started the scare of "absinthism".
Its not like a full blown hallucinatory experience but the thujone, from the wormwood can give it a tickle, its not found in all brands.
"This episode of Facts brought to you by sadness" I relate so much
OH MY GOD.
I'm french and horrified. That's not how you drink absinthe or Pernod...
I feel for you, you poor things.
And that Bordeaux didn't look nice.
I'm sad now.
And serving Cognac in a FUCKING PINT GLASS?!?
I'm American and appalled at how they drank absinthe too!
Well... We do often like (or make others) to learn things the hard way.
As a Francophile Englishman, I was disappointed by that as well. Anyone who does that to Absinthe or pastis is essentially misusing it.
it's what i thought about absinthe
Laura and Nicole make a great team for these taste tests.
have to agree
Yes theyndo
singhrais yes !!! And Rockin' The Runaways T-Shirt ..... Classic Rock Band T's are always the best ... specially when they've got that warn in feel
🤘🏼😎
I cracked up when Nicole slurred her words
Nicole is my all time favorite
that big lad with the orange hoodie is bloody amazing
**puts absinthe on the table**
Everyone: **crying** **hiding under table** **begs to leave**
Big guy in the orange jacket....I like him. More of him please.
He's a buddy.
He actually reminded me of comedian Jonathan Winters with his facial distortions haha!
And the guy next to him lol
3:08 is my favorite part. For the rest of video, guy's like "I'm a college student, this is awful, but I'll do anything for alcohol" then when they bring out the black bottle "I wanna go home!"
The guy with the orange hoodie would be someone I'd invite to a shindig
MicroGroover29 Niall Gleeson I believe
MicroGroover29, you invite him. I’ll take the red heads...
I’m with you, but I’ll expand it and say every girl they put in these videos! So funny. I love a woman who just says what she’s thinking and they all just let Er rip.
"heard about it in the fables" ahahahahahaha
Lads can I just say that Absinthe was absolutely LETHAL
I was INSTANTLY drunk after the first shot of it. Read "first shot"...Don't try this at home kids.
Nadia Mohamed Water? Sugar?? Fancy absinthe pouring instrument!? Naaaaah few shots be grand!
Nadia Mohamed I honestly don't remember????? Just PAIN hahahaha
This could literally just be a series of "Irish People Do Shots Of Things That Aren't Meant To Be Drunk Straight" videos. Next do shotglasses of soy sauce, vinegar, Marmite, and salt.
Mikosquiz ...thats not bad....
the guy with the orange jacket on is hilarious!
(sorry, I dont know his name)
+Nadia Mohamed Nadia to the rescue .... again
+Nadia Mohamed seriously, this is his first video. how do you know this?
Nadia Mohamed thanks!
I knew you'd have the answer, he was quite entertaining, I fear the Facts crew may try to find a way to destroy that.
The punny guy next to him is a riot as well.
" i wanna go home " had me dying aha
Hennessy: The official alcohol of the city of Atlanta, Georgia.
what?
Omg so true
Uncle shay shay serves Hennessy with his fresh hot L’s
Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't Absinthe supposed to be watered out through a sugar-cube or something?
yes. The people on this show are masochist, or the one who give it just evil
Probably more of the latter, since none of the participants mentioned the traditional way to take it.
yep, and the Pernod as well, turns white, I really like it
There are many ways to do it, but if I remember correctly, we poured some absinthe, then, with a little support for the sugarcube, your pour slowly some pure water on the cube to melt it. Usually, for 1 of absinthe, it's around 3-4 of water. Depend on how you like it. Some do it without or very little water
Yes, on a slotted spoon into a glass using cold water if I remember correctly.
"The Devil himself is inside me..." I laughed so hard at that line! XDDD
Why isn't the guy in the Orange sweater in more videos. He's hilarious
Yaay!! I like him too ❤️
"this episode of facts is brought to you by sadness" made my day
Lmfaooo I love the guy in the orange hoodie
Meanwhile here I am fascinated that an Irish guy has a Squall Leonhart shirt in 2016. Would not have called that.
1:02! I love beer! haha definitely a keeper!
"I've only heard about it in the fables"
Omg. Dead 🤣
These drunk episodes should be extended. Or show us one hour later vid.
omg her burp was amazing
*were
SwiftyJoe TheOneAndOnly no
charlie. she burped a lot so it's were
She burped and it was somehow amazingly charming.. Every time.
That's why we love Laura. Well, it's one of the reasons.
"This episode of Facts is brought to you by sadness." I like that guy. I hope he's on more
"I'd drink this if I wasn't dirt poor" I think every Irish student anywhere can relate to that
The reactions to the absinthe were fucking priceless across the board
This channel is definitely in my top 3... I don't understand why you guys don't have more subscribers!
Haley Russell people don't appreciate greatness Lol I'm sure it's that
Haley Russell They're still a pretty new channel compared to lots of the others that do similar videos. Just be like me and be glad that you're around before they blow up!
Titling all your videos "Irish people do stuff" might do sth to do with.
Thou I am Spanish and a great fan.
You take a wine glass, put a shot of absinthe in the bottom, slowly drip ice water over a sugar cube into the glass, dilute the absinthe as much as you'd like, & enjoy. Stir often to keep the sugar from settling to the bottom. The taste reminds me of a black spice drop candy.
"I've only heard about it in the fables!" I'm dead!
Fuckin always a delight to see long hair girl with the glasses
Kellie always makes the best faces when she drinks alcohol (like she's having a seizure). Who is the guy paired up with her?
Absinthe should be diluted with ice cold water and sugar to taste (it's a non sweetened alcohol), many recommend it to be diluted down to around 14% alcohol "like wine". And that looked like a shit absinthe to begin with.
Pernod (and Richard) should also be diluted, just as Absinthe. It's already sweet though, and they lack wormwood.
I just hope that the wine was proper chilled to around 16-18 degrees C.
Tim Larsson nobody asked
Angelous, Absinthe can be clear too. Blanche and Verte.
Ricard et non pas Richard xD
When Irish girl with the bangs said "I love beer" I fell in love
And a red head
Laura, aka Lolsy
"vino, more like vi-NO!" HAHAHA
every burp increases laura's adorableness by 1000%!
lmfao, Laura made this entire episode 1000 times more enjoyable than it already was
Of all the alcohol-tasting videos here on Facts, this is probably my favorite of the bunch.
The student in the orange huddie is someone we can all relate to 😂
LOVE LOVE LOVE the redheaded girl who just had a haircut!
for fucks sake you drank the Pernod wrong.
Iam a german and it made me sad how they drank it...Amazing drink if you drink it the right way.
PopeVader how do you drink it?
Water and Ice
It's not a shot! You are supposed to drink this like Greek Ouzo. 1/3 of pernod and 2/3 of water. And then you add ice!
Same with absinthe. But they are pretty related drinks.
Who takes shots of absinthe? It's supposed to be drunk in a certain way. It's quite delicious and pretty (the water/alcohol changes colors) when you use the sugar with spoon and water fountains. Absinthe was used by the French army to sterilize water with alcohol. To make them take shots of absinthe shows a lack of class and definite cruelty towards their coworkers by the producer.
I love Kellie "I've only heard about it in the Cables".
The Absinthe just looks like it will steal your soul!
Russo Italiano who said redheads have no soul, I'd say David Bowie would disagree
stephen white my lord it's an old wives tale he's joking
victoria hale and so am I joking
In the past, cheap absinthe (Absinte was cheaper than cheap wine) often had abnormal amount of methanol in it. Methanol is a neurotoxic alcohol which basically turn you into a crazy beast if you consumle too much of it. Van gogh the dutch painter is famous for cutting his own ear while being drunk on absinthe. In France it was banned for most of the 20th century.
Nowadays, even the cheapest absinte you will find, will not contain an once of methanol so it's relatively safe on that regard. But it's still a 80° alcohol, so yeah it's strong as fuck, and that's why you're not supposed to drink shots like they did.
Bowie was a natural blonde Ziggy and Aladinsane were created withdeep orange red hair dye.
"Who brought this back from Tenerife" killed me 😂
Do one with po folks American wine like mad dog 20/20, boone's farm, Thunderbird etc.
That would be an act of sadism. Hague Convention, anyone?
Ripple?
This is probably the funniest of their videos that I've seen! 😂
"I am a poor Student, i drink anything" Haha :D
I died when he said, “I wanna go home”
so much fun to watch, knowing at least have would be buzzing by the end of episode. :)
"IN THE FABELS" AHAHAHAHAH FTW FACTS
"The Devil himself is inside me!"
Puts absinthe on table "Oh no. I've only heard about this in the fables"
Love the vids. Its a cross between fascinating and hilarious
Can't..stop..watching...your..vids!
I find you all brilliant and adorable haha!
"It's fancy because it's the one you actually have to open."
The $20 cases of wine I used to buy would have to disagree.
okay, it's official, the guy in there with the Squall Leonhart shirt is my new favorite guy.. simply because of his shirt. yaay.
yea I was wondering, where do I get that shirt? o.O
What a great video!
Make me smile the whole time.
As always, these people have incredible personalities, they deserve at least a minute or two each.
"Hennessy's irsh you devils!" Oh how much I love her :)
I've officially fallen in love with the lovely (albeit burping) redheaded lass...I'm sorry I don't know your name, but my god you are cute beyond all definition.
"This is real life! It's real life! You can't just.... DO that!" legit cackled for a solid minute.
I love the two guys reactions to everything and the fact that the girls were so looking forward to the wine then wanted to spit it out xD
"I thought WE were drinkers, but fair ftftftgh to them."
"I've only hear about it in the fables"
I love these videos, they're in pain and then they're silly with no transition.
Yay for the Hennessey you guys just made me smile 😀. I approve this message!!!
I love how trashed Laura and Nicole were by the end. 😂
"This episode of FACTS is brought to you by sadness."
i absolutely love it when the Irish people taste test alcohol. Please make one where they taste test South African, or African alcohol.
Fridays at Facts are awesome! Its the Saturdays that get them! lmao😂
That is NOT how you drink Absinthe.
it's a 4 minute show. you think they are going to go through the 5 step process just to take a drink of cheap absinthe? fuck the sugar cube and cold water. blah blah blah. the liquor should hold up on its own.
exoticnoise420 Absinthe is an entire experience that is rarely inexpensive. You don't shoot that shit like cheap vodka.
hey dont go talking about cheap vodka like its crap its a wonderful thing.
That is the Czech influence. I've had it all ways.. shooting it is actually one of my favourite ways (if I want a buzz) if I want to cuddle a drink I'll go with any of the other methods.
... or you know cider.
Apparently they did.
damn! they gave you one of the cheapest beers found in france, that's non representative!
On est pas non plus réputé pour faire des bières extraordinaires
This just reminded me I have an unopened bottle of absinthe that's been in the cupboard at home for about 4 years lol i love black absinthe reminds me of some very good nights out lol
Colin is hilarious, especially when he's hammered
Tell all the ppl who didnt like henny to never come to NY
Luke Liscio hennecy*
Hahaha, who are these people? And in what world do they live in that Cognac is gross? Jesus H Christ (in an irish accent)
Why? Are New Yorkers obsessed with the stuff?
Greg Liscio it's pretty awful
EmiMac20 because like all Americans they lack taste,in there drinks and ,clothes,cinema,theatre,food,I could go on........
Laura: *smiles and whispers* "I love beer."
Lol Laura and Nicole were the best things about this video! 😂😂😂
laura's reactions in this episode are the best!
The skinny "Conan O'Brien" ginger is finally cutting loose! Good for him!
I drank black absinthe once, don't remember how that went at all...
When that girl says "I've only heard about it in the fables" I lost it.
I wish they would have started with the Absinthe, as that takes a bit to hit, but ohhhhhh how funny it would be to watch as the video goes on!
✨😂😂😂😂😂✨
“This episode of Facts is brought to you by Sadness.”
Make sure the guy in orange is in more videos!
I lived in France and I NEVER saw or heard of anyone drinking Pernod straight up! You add a lot of cold water.
1:18 the best throw back of a shot I have ever seen, he got the whole top half involved in that one lol
Did they try Brazilian alcohol yet? That would be fun to watch!
What? Cheap piss passed as "beer" Skol or Cachaça? There's not that much to pick.
You don't drink Pernod and Absinthe like that. -_-
The slap and snap thing at the end was true talent!!!!
one of the best facts videos
"Who drinks this?!" ... I do..
Irish people sing irish songs!
"I wanna go home!!!!!!@!!" Whimper Whimper
drunk Irish are my favorite type of drunks. I had so much fun there on my travels
you should really drink Pernod with water. no one drinks it neat.
I do, but 9 years in Japan will do that to you
Yo I'm so New York that when I saw that Hennessy bottle I was like yo but that's from New York lmao
I haven't laughed so hard. These videos are funny as hell.
"This episode of Facts is brought to you by sadness" had me laughing good
How to get on the facts. cast : Be ginger...
How to be a Facts. contributor: Be Irish.
So you're saying I have a chance, even though I literally live half the world away?
FireCracker3240 I have that part down, just need some hair dye
eoin sweeney Go for it. Being a redhead is really fantastic (I know from experience). :-)
Three! Three gingers in one video.
If the other two join in another video then we'll achieve a rusty singularity.
