"Absinthe was a favorite drink of many, many famous people, particularly artists and writers who found inspiration in their Absinthe-induced stupor. It is said that Edgar Allen Poe's writings were essentially under the influence of nearly fatal mixtures of absinthe and brandy. It was said that Poe transformed himself into the "enchanted spaces of the unreal."
As it turns out, Absinthe was indeed a dangerous substance, as the wormwood used for making it had narcotic properties. The consumption of Absinthe was associated with hallucinations, delirium, madness and even death. It is further rumored that Jack the Ripper, an unknown killer of a number of prostitutes in 1888, went mad through his addiction of Absinthe. Consequently, it was outlawed in the United States in 1912. "
Well...i never knew that! xd
