The French word "absinthe" can refer either to the alcoholic beverage or, less commonly, to the actual wormwood plant from which it is derived. The use of it in a drink is
attested in Lucretius' De Rerum Natura (936-950) where Lucretious indicates that a drink containing wormwood is given as medicine to children in a cup with honey on the brim to make it drinkable. This was a metaphor for the presentation of complex ideas in poetic form. Absinthe was banned in the United States from 1912 to 2007.
