Did Absinthe make the heart grow fonder?
Published in Daily Trivia
Absinthe, a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV) also called “wormwood" or “the Green Fairy,” is perhaps best known for its popularity in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among bohemian culture. Portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug it was banned in the United States and in most European countries. However, it's actually no more dangerous than ordinary liquor. A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, and it is even available in the U.S. in limited quantities.
