Marilyn Manson's girlfriend Even Evan Rachel Wood claims she saw her life flash before her eyes after drinking a shot of her boyfriend's own brand of absinthe, the aptly named Mansinthe.
"For my birthday, I did one shot to try it, and that was it," said Wood. "I was drunk immediately. Being who he is, Manson wanted to make it as strong as it could possibly be, so it's got the highest amount of wormwood that you can have legally. One shot of it, and you're out for the night. Three shots of it, you're dead."
Mansinthe, which was launched in October of last year, was famously bashed by a gourmet food and drink critics' website earlier this year. www.epicurious.com compared the intoxicating brew to "sewage water".
