Absinthe is a myth - it's just a heavy downpour of alcohol with the colour green. It wouldn't be sold today if it had any exquisite properties. Most of 19th Century literary descriptions (which created the myth), were done by top-notch writers - like Coleridge - who also used laudanum (or opium drops) to ease the pain of tuberculosis.
