Publisher's Remarks:
One hundred forty-four proof, notoriously addictive, and the drug of choice for nineteenth-century poets, absinthe is gaining bootleg popularity after almost a century of being banned. Due to popular demand, "Absinthe: History in a Bottle "is back in paperback with a handsome new cover. Like the author's bestselling "The Martini "and "The Cigar, " it is a potent brew of wild nights and social history, fact and trivia, gorgeous art and beautiful artifacts. As intoxicating as its subject, "Absinthe" makes a memorable gift for anyone who knows how to celebrate vice.
