Surely there must be some kind of self-destruct mechanism.

Yeah, like a flask of Absinthe for the pilot!

I made the mistake of doing two shots of that once.
I lost four days and nights.

Pernod is an absinthe I drank too much of at a bar in LeHavre, France, after a very rough crossing of the North Atlantic in the winter. Didn’t have enough money for a cab back to my ship, so I started walking. Next thing I remember was waking up in jail, and no body could speak English, and I couldn’t speak French.

Found out later I had walked onto the wrong ship, and where my cabin was on my ship was the location of that ship’s captain. I was told that I told that SOB to get out of my room! Lucky it was an American ship, and I only spent the night in jail.

No more absinthe for me.
