August 2006 It's a drink so strong and feared, it still can't be produced legally in America. We journey to France to see how the 'green fairy' -- otherwise know as absinthe - is made. Absinth was the favourite tipple of French artists, poets and writers during the Belle Epoche. It was so popular, cocktail time was referred to as 'the green hour.' But rumours it could induce madness led to it being banned for 70 years. However producer Ted Brow is adamant it has never been dangerous. "I found nothing in it that could cause someone to go crazy." Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

Wormwood was used to purge intestinal parasites (worms) thus the name wormwood. The drink is powerful because of the alcohol content and it is best enjoyed in moderation.

I am enjoying a glass of absinthe as I watch this.

@crazywanch101 actually, the narrator is English and so would say Herbs with an 'H'. To me saying 'erbs sounds wrong, so to be fair to her she isn't an idiot its just her accent.

@retroflow44 actaully they did have sum bad chemicals in the cheaper brands in the 1800's during the grape crop famine, one brewery used copper sulphate to give it the green flavour, and that caused sum ppl to fall ill, and from that one incident, thats how the whole anti-absinth campaign started.
