And absinthe has only in the past year (iirc) been approved again for sale in the U.S.  Wormwood, the flavoring agent, is toxic, and more than one person died back in the day from drinking it.  The newer stuff perhaps has been processed differently.  I don't know.  I understand that the young "sophisticates" back then looked upon drinking the stuff as a sort of "sophisticated macho" thing, something like eating fugu is an aphrodisiac because of the threat involved.

If I drank such things, I would do so in my camper, high on a great mountain or deep in a desert.

Hmmmmmm......... .
