Myth about Absinthe Liqueur Is Dispelled
|
|
The fashion on absinthe liqueur (a favorite drink of the French bohemia in the beginning of XX century) has come to Europe in second half of XIX centuries. This strong alcoholic drink became a source of inspiration and the reason of premature death of many outstanding artists and poets. In 10-20-е years, the last century, absinthe liqueur has been forbidden in the majority of the countries of Europe and in USA as a powerful and dangerous drug.
Psychoses and the hallucinations caused by abusing by absinthe liqueur, it was long time accepted to explain by thujone action. In 80th years of XX century when manufacture and sale of absinthe liqueur in the Europe has renewed, the content of thujone in a drink has been legislatively limited by 35 milligrams on liter of a liquid.
Having studied 13 samples of the authentic absinthe liqueur made before introduction of an interdiction, researchers have come to conclusion, that destructive action of the drink is hardly connected with high thujone concentration. As it was found out, in old absinthe liqueur of this substance was no more, than in modern, legal and “safe” absinthe liqueur. So, the contents of thujone in the researched samples made from 0,5 up to 48,3 mg/l, on the average – 33,3 mg/l.
Thus, scientists believe that mental deviations which absinthe liqueur provoked at the well-known figures of arts were the symptoms of a banal alcoholism.
