Source on the part about Absinthe being banned in the US in 1912? It is my understanding that there is a US Customs regulation against beverages with wormwood in them, and an FDA regulation against it being used in food and drugs. However, there is no DEA regulation. -- (24.218.24.200)


 * If you want I can find a source for the law. In 1912 the FDA and DEA didn't exist.  When the FDA came around the law was translated into a regulation and never made it on the DEA list.  Thus today it is only FDA based. -- Ari 06:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Translation
From Translation into English:
 * Article: fr:Absinthe

 * Other notes: It seems like the French article is both about plant and the liquor but I think there is some useful material there.
 * No, it is still not complete, does someone want to pick up the ball? -- Jmabel | Talk 05:34, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
 * I would like to pick up the ball on this one, but please be patient as I am completely new to Wikipedia and there will be a bit of a learning curve for me. There IS some information that still needs to be brought over from the French. As noted below, there is also info there on the liquor, which seems to belong in the English Absinthe article. I will cross-reference this French article with that article too to see if it has anything to add to that one as well. I will update here when I am done. --Andrewgardner1 23:32, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Yay, I'm done! I've translated ALL of the information in the fr:Absinthe article and brought it over to the Artemisia absinthium, Absinthe, and Pernod Fils articles. I suppose you can remove this entry from this page whenever you want to. --Andrewgardner1 23:51, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Success of pastis
I don't think that this article reflects the popularity of pastis in France. The article states, "However, the pastis drink never fully caught on to the same success that absinthe once enjoyed." Through much of the 1990's pastis sales in France were around 14 million cases of 12 bottles. Significantly greater than absinthe at its peak. I think the article may need a re-edit to reflect this. Alanmoss 06:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC) I have changed the article to reflect this. Alanmoss 11:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Please keep it this way.
In the Post-Ban_Years Pernod_Fils you have this phrase: Despite the ravages of the French ban and the subsequent First World War, Pernod Fils' absinthe did not completely disappear. I am not a native English-speaker and the reception may vary among the readers of this Wikipedia. Someone will feel like rephrasing this in a way that you might call "more accurate". If there is though a way to "protect" a phrase in the article, it should be applied. Thank you.--84.254.177.55 (talk) 06:24, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

I have addressed your suggestion by replacing "ravages" with the far more common phrase, "crippling effects".Vapeur (talk) 00:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Darn. But, yes, I see your point. I am wiping away a tear, however, for the ravages... ;-) --84.254.183.49 (talk) 06:35, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
