absinthe could have earned its reputation as especially addictive because if people who happened to be predisposed to alcohol addiction have easy access to something with such a high alcohol content, it's gonna become their favorite drink pretty quickly

What's overlooked is that Lanfray also drank 7 glasses of wine, 6 glasses of cognac and 2 coffee with brandy. And this was all on his lunch hour.

My younger brother brought me back a bottle of absinthe from Spain for my 45th birthday. I'd heard about it, but never tried it. I think I made it through about 1/2 of the bottle. Well, I do remember throwing up on my shoes, finding a seat for the belly dancer show, then coming around after the show was over. Great! I missed the entire thing. I did use the spoon and sugar, waited for the "green fairies", but the only thing green was me a couple of hours later.

The woman I the painting sitting in the bar is not looking at the drink she is staring into space with a look of hopelessness and heartbreak on her face, what a masterpiece ❤

Alcohol, anyone who's lived with an alcoholic or has been around drunk people know that alcohol of any kind turns some people into Jekyll and Hyde.

Not to mention that the French vine industry had lobbied against absinth for years, and the troubles in the early 20th century came as a gift from above

Absinthe is a centerpiece of my home bar, and always makes for an interesting conversation piece, but I have always made sure to dispel the myths of the spirit whenever they come up. If you are into classic cocktails it's pretty important to have around, as many recipes call for it in small portions.
Most people think it tastes like black licorice, and that is certainly true, although most bottles have more complexity as well. My bottle of L'originale also has notes of spearmint, cocoa, and juniper.

You completely missed the issue of the French wine industry and how they went against Absinthe.

I had a wild time with absinthe at art school one night (both Czech and Spanish absinthe). I drank it straight, far too much of it, too. I felt very free and wandered around campus all night. I talked to every random stranger I saw and made a few new friends (absinthe makes me very social and friendly). However, that night ended with me getting kicked out of a Denny's by the security guard (didn't even know Denny's had security guards until that night). This all happened in Florida (of course).

I'm surprised this liquor didn't become the tipple of choice for those love, because as we all know, absinthe maketh the heart grow fonder.

There's nothing like absinthe to get the creative juices flowing. Just think about how ridiculous it was when the government passed the Volstead Act. My grandfather fought in the trenches in World War I. When he returned home, he was informed his young bride had passed away from the Spanish flu - as well as his parents and one brother. Because he'd suffered from mustard gas poisoning and severe injuries to his back, Grandad had to convalesce for an extended period in a shabby run down VA hospital. Although he never regained his pre-enlistment state of good health and well being, he was eventually released. On that day, as he dressed and prepared to leave the hospital, he reflected that owing to the fact that this country had found its way through an influenza pandemic and a bloody overseas conflict during which medical treatment fell far behind the art of munitions and weaponry - in terms of technological sophistication, he decided, as he hobbled on his crutches away from the hospital toward a waiting taxi, he'd use some of the small stipend he'd been given to treat himself to a strong drink or two. This was on the afternoon of January 17, 1920, approximately 14 hours after Prohibition had officially been enacted - something which the taxi driver informed him when he asked to be driven to the nearest tavern.. His first thought, which he clearly remembered throughout the rest of his life was "What a farce of a government., which acquiesces to the wishes of a tyrannical self righteous minority. God, grant me the serenity to accept it and the strength and wherewithal to build a still in the woods behind the barn once I get back to whatever's left of the family farm." 😊

Suggestion: An alcoholic beverage I heard a lot about when I lived in St. Louis. Everclear. It's supposed to be very potent. The phrase I heard a lot was, "Don't mess with Everclear!"

What a wonderful day. Two videos from weird history with the same narrator.

The Green fairy is lovely, artists drank it to make the people around them seem interesting.

My friends and I procured a bottle of absinthe in high school when one of our friends took a trip to europe. We were so excited because we had heard it caused hallucinations and psychedelics were all the rage at the time. Unfortunately, it just made me feel sick and didnt do shit.

I once drank Absinthe with a couple of friends. I mixed it with water, because 80 percent of alcohol was to heavy to consume. I like the green colour

Absinthe is actually pretty good! It tastes like liquorice like sambuca and ouzo, but 10x. Drinking it straight requires a water chaser, and the cocktail is yummy! Very strong, and will have to walking on air. Comes in green, blue, and red in Florence Italy

Yeah I tried some absinthe about 10 years ago. It was the Lucid brand. I hated the taste but watching it mix and cloud up was kinda cool. I drank about half of the bottle and the lady friend I was drinking with had most of the rest. It actually too some time to really hit me and thankfully I had already gone home alone when it did. It was unlike any drunk I've ever experienced. Head was kinda floating but that was the start. I remember fixating on my rearview mirror and reading the "objects are closer than they appear" and the blowing my mine and contemplating what it was with the refraction of light that made it so. I also became aware was massively excited, ya know. So rumors of aphrodisiac qualities might be true for me. In hind site I should not have driven but on the other hand if I had stayed later I might have made bad choices with my friend. Worst part of all, half way through the night I looked at the bottle and was paranoid that the eyes on the label were fallowing me. Never had it again.

I like the narrator. He is funny as hell and yet, I learn a lot from these stories of Weird History Food. You are doing a super job and I am glad I signed up.

You forgot to mention why Absinthe was making people go crazy. Cheap bootleggers were putting turpentine in with Absinthe. The turpentine people drank is what made too many people go insane and that is why this liquor was outlawed. Next episode should be about Moonshine.
