Everything tastes and smells like licorice. My tongue also simultaneously burns and is numb.

This stuff's hard-core compared to absinthe in terms of packing flavor in an ouzo sledgehammer to the face vs an absinthe uppercut.

Edit: yes I drank it straight. And I'm also comparing it to absinthe straight.

            Yeah they have a similar taste.

            Btw here's how you drink ouzo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpiPdllqlfU

            One interesting detail is that she says "we'll water it down a bit because he has to drive" even though that's still way more than the legal amount of alcohol you're supposed to drink before driving because no one obeys any driving rules in Greece lol

            Also a 1935 song about drinking ouzo and doing hash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbQwMz1FMgA
