Study: More than half of pets overweight
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 27 (UPI) -- The controversial liquor absinthe is making a comeback in the United States, complete with the original key ingredient that had once been controversial.
WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Fla., said Tuesday that said a product called absinte currently sold in local liquor stores lacks grande wormwood, a plant oil that contains the drink's potent active ingredient. Absente is considered a substitute for absinthe.
Absinthe is a high-powered green drink said to cause hallucinations that had been banned in the United States since World War I. However, this spring two brands -- Lucid and Kubler -- were given permission to enter the U.S. market and should soon be found on liquor store shelves in Florida.
