About Absinthe
Absinthe is a strong distilled alcoholic beverage which contains a wine base and flavor of natural herbs and essential oils. Common wormwood are Artemisia Absinthium. Absinthe gets its anise flavor from the fennel and aniseed and the wormwood gives Absinthe its characteristic bitter taste and its name.
Wormwood has been used from ancient times as a natural remedy for many medical conditions and so was a natural choice for Dr Pierre Ordinaire’s elixir or health tonic. Ordinaire invented Absinthe in the late 18th century in the Swiss town of Couvet by chance. By the early 19th century Henri-Louis Pernod was producing Absinthe and selling it commercially and by the middle of the 19th century it was a popular drink in France, Switzerland and later the United States. Absinthe soon overtook other beverages such as wine and beer as the most popular drink though Absinthe hours had bars.
Wine producers, doctors and the prohibition movement began their anti-Absinthe campaign in earnest in the late 1800s. Absinthe was associated with the loose morals of the courtesans of the Moulin Rouge, Montmartre and the Bohemian artists and writers and prohibitionists blamed it for damaging society.
Absinthe was found causing many health problems due to its thujone content. Doctors claimed that Thujone a chemical found in wormwood was psychoactive and caused psychedelic effects. Absinthe was thought to contain huge amounts of thujone and to be same as the drug cannabis. It causes

Research and studies over the past few decades have shown that pre ban Absinthe only contained very small amounts of thujone, not sufficient to be harmful or to cause hallucinations. All now know that the claims were just mass hysteria and just excuses for the wine producers and the prohibitionists to get Absinthe banned.
Thujone quantities are now controlled by legislation so Absinthe is just as safe as any of the other types of strong spirits. Content of alcohol by volume (up to 75%) in Absinthe is high so it is easy to get on drunk Absinthe, so care should be taken especially when mixing it in cocktails with other spirits.
Absinthe is unlike any other state of drunkenness as the blend of herbs and the alcohol in Absinthe act as both a sedative and as a stimulant. It is described as a strange “lucid” or “clear headed” drunkenness.
