Absinthe was illegal in the U.S. from the early 20th century until recently. It is or has been illegal in a number of other countries.

Absinthe became popular in France in the late 1800s during which time a serious root disease had devastated the French wine industry and little was available. However, when the wine industry recovered it had lost a large market share to absinthe. Wine producers then started a rumor that absinthe caused people be become crazy or deranged. It worked and absinthe was made illegal in France and many other countries.

After recent scientific research demonstrated the safety of absinthe, it was legalized in the U.S.
