The other reason should be rather obvious: alcoholism can have some severe effects. Korsakoff, delirium tremens, etc.
Why are you people so fucking gullible?  |
your reffering to the alcoholic drink version from the 19th century. Before you want to tell people how special and cultivated you are, maybe you should spend a little time and try and find out what the hell you are talking about
The REAL deal uses small controlled volumes of Thujone as a mild form of nerveblocker, wich is what gives it the effect. It's not the Thujone that kills you, its the unclean versions of the drink that does
The version Libertine, and the even more mainstream versions you can buy today is nothing buy strong alcohol with Anis to color and flavor the drink
