Here we go again. The topic, that we thought we had thoroughly covered, long ago, has reared its head again. Help me . once again, post the FACTS ; as opposed to the drivel, that we thought had been put to rest. LOL

Folks will always find a way to rationalize the safety factor in getting high from whatever source. I'm at work now and my Absinthe coffee table book is at home so I'm sort of writing blind. I'm sure Google will have the sites of a plethora of absinthe enthusiasts who claim to have seen God...or Lautrec..lol. There is a veritable mountain of evidence out there that could lead a reasonable person to believe that authentic Absinthe overindulgence will most likely lead to even worse consequences than conventional liquor...which is bad enough on it's own. Since I hardly drink at all sans an occasional half glass of a nice Bordeaux or perhaps a taste of a fine Pilsner or a warm Bitter, I am no longer much of an authority on the "virtues" of imbibing to effect.

Oh yes...one last thing. Absinthe is historically consumed for considerable effect. No one sits around sipping it for taste since the taste is considered by most rather vile.

Best Regards.
