Due to the label on all commercial alcoholic drinks about alcohol content people are capable for making informed decisions about drinking them and how much to consume.

A hydrometer is used to measure the alcohol content. One can get a hydrometer with a thermometer attached to it. The direction of hydrometer is vertical when kept in liquid. As it is supplied to water the water line stops at the level marked 1.One can see increase in the level of water when it is put in sugared water. The float moves lower when the hydrometer is put in fermenting alcohol. A person needs to take the first measurement with the sugar but before the yeast is added and then the final measurement after the yeast has completed fermentation while preparing alcohol.

Alcohol by volume is worked out by the following formula:-
Formula is Original gravity – Final gravity x 131 = Alcohol by volume.

Both the EU and the United States label the alcohol by volume content of drinks, some other countries go on proof. Proof is approximately twice alcohol by volume.

Different brands of Absinthe have different alcohol contents. Look at the following statistics:-

Absinthe was banned because of its alleged psychedelic effects. It was thought that hallucinations and insanity was caused by it. The Bohemian culture of Parisian Montmartre with its loose morals, courtesans and artists and writers was also combined with Absinthe.

The chemical thujone and the THC are said to be similar. There has been an Absinthe revival since the 1990s when studies showed that Absinthe actually only contained very small amounts of thujone and that it would be impossible to drink enough Absinthe, for the thujone to be harmful, because Absinthe is such a strong spirit – you would be comatose first!

There is no harm in drinking Absinthe but one should be carefull while consuming it because it is about twice as strong as other drinks.

Information About Absinthe Fairy

Absinthe is an anise flavored spirit which is incredibly strong, between 45 and 75% Alcohol by volume. The “Green Fairy” is so called because it is emerald green in color. It is a distilled liquor made from herbs. Wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium), green aniseed and fennel (fennell) are the main herbs. Henri-Louis Pernod produce his famous original Pernod Absinthe recipe by utilizing herbs like hyssop, lemon balm, nutmeg, juniper, veronica, star anise and dittany. A few producers also used the herb calamus which was believed to be psychoactive along with wormwood and nutmeg. When the chilled water is poured over the sugar on the Absinthe spoon the essential oil extract from the herbs causes Absinthe to louche. The reason of Absinthe to cloud or louche is the insolubility of oils in water.

Absinthe Green Fairy and the Art World

Absinthe is famous for inspiring many artists and writers associated with the Bohemian culture of the Montmartre area of Paris. Famous Absinthe drinkers include Vincent Van Gough, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Degas, Ernest Hemingway and Oscar Wilde. Many writers and artists were convinced that Absinthe gave them inspiration and gave them their genius. Painters like Van Gogh and Picasso gave emphasis on Absinthe and Absinthe drinkers in their paintings.

Absinthe's association with old Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge and the Bohemian sect, was simply the explanation that prohibition campaigners required. Absinthe was linked with the murder of a family and the growing problem of alcohol addiction in France so the campaigners raised their hands against the legalization of Absinthe in France. It was restricted in most of the countries.

The chemical thujone, present in wormwood was thought to be the reason behind the psychedelic effects. Thujone and THC in cannabis were believed to be the same.

Different Aspects Of Absinthe Green Fairy

Absinthe was made in Switzerland in the 18th century as an elixir or tonic. It's main ingredient has been used in medicine from ancient times in the following ways:-
- A Good tonic
- Antidote to poisoning caused by hemlock and toadstools
-Used to stimulate digestion
- Parasitic intestinal worms are treated by it.

First Absinthe was distilled and sold by Pernod then it became well known in La Belle Epoque period and linked with the Bohemian culture of the Montmartre area of Paris. Absinthe inspired several popular artists and writers so they relied on it's effects. The Green Fairy Absinthe barred Van Gogh to cut off his ear.

Many people began to think that Absinthe was harmful because of the effects caused by it. It is also famous about Absinthe that a French man had murdered his whole family after drinking it. In fact, he had consumed a vast amount of other alcoholic beverages after drinking the Absinthe.

The Absinthe effects were blamed on the wormwood extract in the drink which contained a chemical called thujone. Similarities are there between thujone and TCH which is found in the drug cannabis. Absinthe was banned and made illegal in France in 1915 and im many other countries at around the same time. It was never restricted in Spain, Portugal, the UK or the Czech Republic.

Many people researched thujone and Absinthe and it was found that drinking Absinthe was just as safe as drinking any strong spirits, and liquor with a high alcohol by volume, and that Absinthe contained only very minute quantities of thujone. Absinthe was, therefore, made legal again in many countries in the 1990s. EU legislation refers that bottled Absinthe having 10mg/kg or less of thujone can only be sold and US law gives the right only to the sale of Absinthe with trace amounts of thujone.

The Absinthe ban meant that many new Absinthe-like products had been created to replace Absinthe, such as Pernod Pastis which satisfied people's appetite for an anise flavored alcoholic beverage. One can get these beverages along with artificial Absinthes which have been created for the US market. If you want real Absinthe you need an Absinthe which contains the vital ingredient, wormwood, which gives Absinthe it's characteristic bitter flavor. One should buy Absinthes or Absinthe essences containing wormwood and which can be mixed with vodka or Everclear to produce one's very own bottled Absinthe. These essences are used by the Absinthe industry and can be bought online through sites like AbsintheKit.com. They are available with instructions on how to use them and Absinthe spoon and glass is necessary for using them.

Different Absinthe Effects

First you will need to buy quality Absinthe which is rich in essential oils and that contains wormwood. There are Absinthe substitute and fake Absinthes on sale that contain southernwood or roman wormwood instead of common wormwood (artemisia absinthium). Make sure you buy a proper real Absinthe. If you live in a country where it is hard to find a good quality Absinthe then you could make your own Absinthe using essences from AbsintheKit.com.

After you have your Absinthe, you will need to learn the Ritural, or La Louche. This is the traditional French way of preparing Absinthe which uses one shot. The instructions:-

To perform the Ritual, you will need a slotted Absinthe spoon, a lump of sugar, an Absinthe glass, and iced water.

- Pour between 25 - 50 ml of Absinthe into a glass.
- Rest the special Absinthe spoon over the rim of the glass and place a cube of sugar in it.
- Slowly drip iced water over suger either by dripping from the tap of the fountain or by using a steady hand to pour from a carafe. Give the sugar a chance to dissolve and drip slowly through the shots of the spoon. You will see a "louche" effect as the water mixes into the alcohol. The Absinthe louches because the essential oils of the herbs are soluble in alcohol but not in water and so make the mixture cloudy or milky when water is added.
- Sit down and enjoy.

Another method similar to the Ritual is the Czech Method which is a modern way of preparing cheap Czech Absinthes. Absinthe follwers generally scorn the Bohemian method.

Instructions for the Bohemian method:-

- Pour 25 to 50 ml of Absinthe into a glass and dip the cube of sugar into it and soak the sugar.
- Place the sugar cube on the Absinthe spoon and rest the spoon on the rim of the glass.
- To allow the sugar to carmelize and melt, set the sugar cube on fire for one minute. The sugar will drip through the slots of the spoon and into the Absinthe.
- Place the spoon into the glass while pouring the iced water into the Absinthe to put out flames and to cause the liquid to louche.
- Enjoy the Absinthe drink.

If you want to enjoy your Absinthe properly the you will want some Absinthiana – Absinthe glasses, spoons and perhaps even an Absinthe fountain to control the flow of the water. You can find replicas of antique spoons and glasses for purchased from AbsintheKit.com.
