I decided to read about Absinthe (for the purpose of literate use).
I read wiki. Methods of use of absinthe:
The French.
Put one part of absinthe in a glass. Put a special absinth spoon on the edge of the glass (his cup, as a rule, is either simply hollowed or perforated with patterns). A cubic of sugar is placed on this spoon. Now you need to pour three parts of ice water into a glass, through sugar in a spoon. Sugar dissolves in water. The resulting syrup is mixed with absinthe.

The Russian:
In the glass is poured absinthe, it is burned. Let it burn a little. Then cover with a second glass, the flame is extinguished. The absinthe is quickly poured into the second glass, and the first is covered with a towel and turned up with the bottom. Heated absinthe is drunk, and under the overturned glass a cocktail puddle is squeezed and vapors are inhaled. The sequence of inhalation of alcohol vapors and drinking it can be changed.

That is, all normal people dilute 70-degree absinthe with fresh water 3-5 times... and only the Russians drink it warm! Better to breathe his breath!! to

Well, even if the inhaler is not poured...
