I knew it was banned in France, but not the U.S.
Britain never banned the drink.

And you should be careful with that wormwood...on it's own it's poisonous.

Absente is legal in the US and is often called Absinthe because it doesn't use greater wormwood but southern wormwood.

Real absinthe is still illegal but you can get it from European couriers easily if you want it.

Right Track, real Absinthe isn't legal because of it's high alcohol content. In addition, real absinthe (because it' made using wormwood) has a habit of causing hallucinations when you drink it.

And real Absinthe has never been officially banned from the UK.

There's no law saying "absinthe is banned", there's a law saying "drink over x amount alcohol content are banned". Genuine absinthe falls into that category. Customs won't care if you bring back a bottle or two from holiday, but Londis won't have the real stuff sat behind the counter.

Yes, poisonous because of the wormwood, which causes hallucinations. But then alcohol is poisonous. That drunken feeling you get is the alcohol attacking your brain.

I've known a lot of people who have tried it, generally on trips to Europe, and they all have said while it is a unique brand of drunk, there were no full blown hallucinations.
