Not to go too off topic, but Absynth, Anyone had it? I see in movies where they are in Europe (Moulin Rouge, Eurotrip). Why is it so illegal here?

It's legal in Canada baby!!! And many other countries...Absinthe is a strong-herbal liqueur distilled with wormwood and anise...in other words - licorice flavored - usually well over 60% alcohol content.It is still banned in the US by the FDA because it contains a substance called thujone (see below for definition:"Thujone has a similar chemical structure to Tetrahydrocannibinol (active ingredient found in marijuana or THC) and Menthol (peppermint odor found in many over-the-counter medicated creams). "It was very popular in Europe in the early 1900's - but was banned because it was thought to have strange side effects (hmm, like getting really drunk)

we had a booth at the food and hospitality expo yesterday for work. our booth was right across k&l distributors, the big alcohol distributor in alaska. at about 10 am, all the workers were drinking... getting samples from the different booths. they didn't actually start serving until noon. our booth was so slow all morning til about 12:30 pm... wonder why?
