Absinth; a green, very strong and bitter spirit that is made on the basis of wormwood and anise, normally has an alchol percentage of 70. Also known as the Green Muse, because artists in Paris quatier latin drank it. Illegal in various countries because it has the substance tujon (NOT SURE OF THE ENGLISH WORD, tujon is related to the active substance in cannabis) which can damage the nervous system.
greek: apsínthion = wormwood
EDIT: Before you drink absinth, put a lighter to the drink and set it aflame. This will better activate the wormwood and give you a much cooler experience. Now drink half a bottle and tell me those myths are lies :p
