A Liquor of Legend Makes a Comeback.

Absinthe's sale was banned by the U.S. and almost all other countries in the early 20th century due to reports it was a hallucinogen which could cause mental illness and suicidal behavior. That idea has been discredited by subsequent research, but absinthe makers still face a more stringent U.S. regulatory process than the makers of other alcoholic beverages.
