Absynthe

I vaguely recall posting something about this about a hundred years ago...
Absynthe was a very popular drink in continental europe around the turn of the last century. It was an alcoholic beverage made with wormwood, which is a mild hallucinogen. Eventually it was banned for contributing to the downfall of society and promoting debauchery. Those being causes dear to my heart, I chose it as my name, which I use anywhere I go online.
At one time I considered going by Hedonist, but it seemed a bit sophomoric.
