It was banned in the UK for a long time but somebody saw sense! Curiously the ban was only lifted in France in 2011.

Why did the Dude see a need to "groan" this post?

Is he some kind of serial groaner?

My bottle of Amerique 1912, purchased last month from the American owned Great Lakes Distillery made with Grande Wormwood, would beg to differ.

Or so you thought.

That's just the way he is, depends how much ganga he smoked that day.

Oh, to the contrary. In fact, watch any French movie set in a bar and you'll see Pernod (a post-ban absinthe substitute) always pushed prominently to the front of the top shelf.
