I overdosed on black jelly beans years ago. Ended up in the ER. Don’t want to get into detail. Too much licorice is bad. A few years later my dad did the same thing except he went to the ER because he ate a whole family sized bag of some kind of spicy Doritos. Line father, like son.
And who said anything about liquids being involved?

Real Licorice can send you blood pressure through the roof, but most of the stuff made in the USA is made with Anise. Check the ingredients. I also like black licorice but I have to eat the fake flavored Anise type.

There was a version of Ouzo also in Japan that a lot of young foolish Navy Men thought they could handle. Never worked as planned.

Only tried Ouzo once in France. Unfortunately a woman was not involved and gladly I did not puke.

Sorry if I somehow inferred otherwise. Your reputation is safe with me.
I did try absinthe once upon a recommendation from a new French friend. Didn’t know what it was at the time. They seemed to call it Jet. Years later I found out the name.
I wasn’t offered a sugar cube or a knife.
I always remember that green color.
