First of all they really recommend that you go to

but then add this description of the drink, note especially the last
paragraph for the likely culprit of the drink's deadly rep.


Absinthe is a strong herbal liqueur distilled with a great number of
flavorful herbs like anise, licorice, hyssop, veronica, fennel, lemon
balm, angelica and wormwood (the flavor of anise and/or licorice, at
least in contemporary forms of the liquor, tends to predominate).
Wormwood, the one that's gained the most notoriety, is Artemisia
absinthum, an herb that grows wild in Europe and has been cultivated in
the United States as well. Much of the liquor's legendary effect is due
to its extremely high alcohol content, ranging from 50% to 75% (usually
around 60%), plus the contribution of the various herbs. It has been
assumed by many that the so-called "active ingredient" in absinthe is
wormwood, although that is apparently not really the case.

It was traditionally served with ice water and a cube of sugar; the
sugar cube was placed on a slotted "absinthe spoon", and the water was
drizzled over the sugar into the glass of absinthe (typically in a 3:1
or 4:1 ratio). The sugar helped take the bitter edge from the absinthe,
and when the water is drizzled into the the liquor it all turns milky
greenish-white (the effect is called "louche").

The drink was referred to in France as "La Fée Verte", or The Green
Fairy, which is a reference to its often dazzling green color (depending
on the brand). The color usually came from the chlorophyll content of
the herbs used in the distillation process; however, some disreputable
manufacturers added toxic chemicals to produce both the green color and
the louche (or clouding) effect that in reputable brands was caused by
the precipitation of the essential oils of the herbs. It is quite
probable that the bad reputation absinthe developed was due to these
low-grade and perhaps quite poisonous version of the real thing.

Don't waste your money. You wont be able to drink it because of the
taste (really you can't imagine how bad it tastes). It isn't legal in
the US but customs people dont seem to know what it is so you can get
it in easily.

The stuff one buys nowadays is often 60% alcohol ( 120 American proof -- no
higher than some rums and vodkas), but if it is drunk the traditional way,
with water and sugar, it works out as less alcohol than two whiskies or
gins. The taste is like Pernod ( the substitute created when absinthe became
illegal) or ouzo. Absinthe's reputation for blindness et al has been shown
to be highly mythic.
At the price, I drink Pernod, although as far as alcohol content, if that is
what you are looking for, it probably works out at about the same. Most of
it available in Britain and Italy seems to come from Holland and France.

According to a Dutch CA test in the nineteen seventies both Oude and
Jonge Jenever are diluted industrial alcohol with synthetic
flavouring.

Strikes me as extremely unlikely, given EU food regulations. I'd be
interested in your source.
