In 2005 some scientists deemed the experiments they did back then invalid, since they basically injected animals with thrice the quantity of the toxic actually contained in Absinth.

      Absinthe became really widely popular after a disease wrecked grapes harvests and ko'd the wine industry in parts of Europe and it captured a large part of the wine buying market. When the wine industry bounced back it experienced difficulty in recapturing a large chunk of the now absinthe loving market, until a guy binged out on various alcohol drinks then had a drink or two of absinthe after which he went on an axe murder rampage, which was blamed solely on absinthe. Coupled with a flurry of bad press, some difficulty in taxing absinthe, its adoption and adoration by fringe elements such as the "bohemian" crowd who were the "hippie generation" or "counter culture" movement of the period, and some unscrupulous makers who put out tainted product resulted in many countries banning it.

And this was mine and my buddies first time drinking absinthe (it was the real deal too), now seeing this and how these guys properly taste and drink it just makes me realize how I wasted such an expensive and _rare_ product with me and my fellow grunts treating this fine french mademoiselle green fairy spirit like a cheap Jose Cuervo hooker from TJ w/no salt or lime 😂

      Well Anabelle, that's because Australia never had a Country wide Alcohol Prohibition in the early 1900's. The US outlawed the consumption of it from 1919 to 1933, oddly 4 years before they went after marijuana. Moonshine was popularized during prohibition, but never completely faded from our culture after prohibition ended.

    My great grandfather and his sons (including my grandather) were moonshiners/bootleggers in Louisiana during Prohibition.
    I always heard stories about my great grandfather buying a Buick in the 1930s but didn't know how to drive. I never knew how a black sugar cane farmer in rural Louisiana was able to buy a car during the Great Depression. Well, my dad accidentally let it slip a few years ago. It was funny because all my older relatives told the story about how Big Daddy (yes, they really did call him Big Daddy) bought a car, couldn't drive, and ran it into a ditch. They never said how he got that car.
    I still don't know how he got away with it and all of my dad's cousins are gone, so I'll never know. It's a great family story.
