Outkast's wild partying in the UK would get them arrested in the US.The American hip-hop duo, Andre 3000 and Big Boi, celebrated the release of their new album 'Idlewild' with a glitzy party held on a 61-foot cruise liner on Wednesday night (26.07.06).At the bash they knocked back super-strong Absinthe, an alcoholic drink which was banned in America in 1915. Big Boi ignored the recommended limit of just two shots and downed a staggering eight.He said: "This stuff is illegal back home. I can't get enough of it."The strong green spirit - portrayed in the film 'Moulin Rouge' as a green fairy played by Kylie Minogue - was banned in many countries because of its dangerously addictive nature and high alcohol content.Outkast, whose hits include 'Ms Jackson' and 'Hey Ya!' - took over world famous tourist attraction the London Eye to launch their album before attending the party on the Silver Sturgeon cruiser.
