Finally you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world." "Absinthe has a wonderful color, green. A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world.

Absinthe Facts -The word absinthe is derived from the Greek word absinthion, meaning "undrinkable." -Absinthe is not a drug and will not make you hallucinate. -You can not make absinthe from a kit or by soaking herbs in alcohol.

Hundreds of thousands of litres of flaming absinthe were poured into the Doubs (pronounced doo) River.
