It has a bad reputation for having hallucinogenic properties and was banned in many European countries and the US for most of the last century. However, the botanical spirit absinthe, once accused of containing psychoactive chemicals, doesn’t have nearly enough to cause a negative effect. What’s really the most dangerous thing about it is its alcohol content which can be as high as 74% ABV (148 proof).
