Yeah, right.

Until I get stopped by the plods: "Sir, just blow into this if you wouldn't mind..."
A few years ago, I heard a salesman at Dan Murphy's explaining to a lady customer that he uses Port Charlotte single malt whisky as his aftershave. She caught my eye looking over his shoulder as if to say "¿Que?"
However, I can probably agree that absinthe may be better administered externally than ingested. But my opinion may be coloured by a teenage experience of ¾ of a bottle of Pastis at an evening beach party.
