Manson's girl 'can't handle Mansinthe'

Evan Rachel Wood has admitted that she is unable to cope with boyfriend Marilyn Manson's brand of absinthe.

Wood, 20, said the singer's 'Mansinthe' version of the spirit is too potent for her to handle.

She is quoted as saying: "For my birthday, I did one shot to try it, and that was it. 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, you're out for the night. Three shots of it, you're dead."

She added: "I think he agrees with me; you can't drink Mansinthe every day."
