Absinthe was made illegal early in the 20th century. It had become highly popular in France, to the detriment of the wine industry. Therefore, wine producers there spread the rumor that consuming the distilled spirit drink would cause insanity.

However, medical research has recently demonstrated that absinthe has no such effect and it is now legal in the U.S.
