Ah, sweet! A scientific reason to get fucked up on the Green Fairy.
Double bonus... check the contents of the absinthe. In addition to wormwood, there are a number of other herbs used. Parnasse, for instance, also has star anise- which contains Suramin and tastes a lot better than pine needle tea.
Makes you wonder if that’s partially why they faked news’d it as being hallucinogenic for so long.
Can't say the thought hadn't crossed my mind, but the original ban in 1912 had more to do with using copper sulfate as a coloring agent to make crappy alcohol look like the real thing.
Ahhh yes, good info. Now that you mention it, I recall that from the Master Distiller episode about absinthe. Then one of the moonshiner guys said “It’s usually not good business practice to kill your customers”
Someone should tell that to the vax companies lol
Might as well have a good time taking the medicine, good thing alcohol itself can be medicinal.
