Always listen to the barman…
Two mates on a night out in Amsterdam decided they’d try some flaming shots of Absinthe, but sadly one of them didn’t quite follow the barman’s instructions… Be warned, the video certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.
You can clearly hear the barman telling the bloke in question not to blow into the pipe shaped shot glass, but the guy blows into it after choking on the potent fumes from the burning Absinthe, sending the flaming liquid all over his face and the bar.
The flames are put out fairly swiftly but we don’t get to see the full aftermath of the failed shot. So the next time you decide to ignite a highly flammable liquid in a bar for ‘sh*ts and giggles’, make sure to do exactly what the barman tells you to do…
