I expect every spartan to have a drink for me, because I'm going to have three for every spartan.
...
Drink responsibly.

It had to be Googled which resulted in a Wiki hit.
Absinthe is traditionally a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV) beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, also called wormwood. Absinthe has a characteristic natural green colour.
Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France. A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic. Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007.

Absinthe is all I drink now.I first tried it in Spain and loved it.I've turned quite a few people on to it I like it the traditional way.Mixed with water and a sugar cube the French stuff is the best.Eastern Europe stuff is rubbish.The stuff I get is 138 proof Van Gough liked it so did Hemingway.Remember drink responsibly and don't drive stay safe.
