With its crazy amounts of alcohol and the supposed head trip that comes with it, it feels a lot loaded to me. Looks like he’s taken to begging on the streets for his next fix.Įven after all the years that Absinthe has finally been given a clear name in the world of alcohol, many are still afraid to try it. I guess this guy ran out of his supply early. I don’t know what should scare this girl off more – the gigantic bottle attached to her ass or the weird wizard-looking dude trying to cop a feel. This dame looks like she’s a happy camper if you ask me. Whoever said drinking alone was sad, has never had absinthe. And if you don’t believe me, just ask the voices in your head.
Possibly the early 1900’s version of a roofie? This guy looks like a creeper.Ībsinthe, for the schizo in you. If you can’t find the cure to what’s afflicting you, then just get as drunk as a skunk! This was the real forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. A lot and you’ll feel like you’re in hell. Even if it is just in your head.Ī little of this will make you feel like you’re in heaven. A couple of shots of this and you’ll find yourself partying with the rest of them. What was it that Kermit the frog always used to say? It’s not easy being green? Then be rose!įor those who enjoyed drinking on their own, absinthe was the way to go. If this was something that happened these days, there wouldn’t be any space on the streets anymore.Īpparently Absinthe came in other variations as well. If the clothes weren’t enough to give her a clue, then it must be something he drank. Looks like the missus was trying to figure out why her husband was acting like such a clown. Unless, of course, you were looking for something to kill your wife with, then this probably got the ball rolling. If they were trying to sell the stuff, this doesn’t seem like it would do the job. How this was a pre-prohibition poster is beyond me. But unlike the warm fuzzy feeling this feline gets from milk, he’s going to have a Pink Floyd-like experience in that metaphorical fish bowl he likes so much. Even the cat can’t help but steal a little from the bottle.
What are the things they have in common, you may ask? We’ll there’s the red hair, the alluring stare and a penchant to knock people out with just a little dose.Ībsinthe is so good you’ll have to hide it from your pets. This one looks like Poison Ivy from the Batman comic books. A little bit fantastical, and a little bit mischievous. Otherwise known as “The Green Fairy”, Absinthe is portrayed in the exact light that everyone knows it to be. Just like a batch of special brownies, they might look soft and chewy on the outside, but they’re crazy and narcotic-filled on the inside. Although the picture painted here makes it look so harmless, don’t be fooled. So this is what people mean when they call you a little green devil. Hopefully it’s the former rather than the latter. Or feel like Van Gogh and decide to chop your ear off. Either you’ll feel like Van Gogh and get all up in his head. And if you’re lucky, maybe she’ll even come to life and do a toast with you. This beckoning lady is as welcoming as the head trip you’re yearning for. Yup, just like that.Īs if you needed another reason to drink. Drink a bottle of this and you will have a smile plastered on your face for so long it’ll remind you of the time your mom used to say – that it would get stuck like that. Here are 25 posters to ponder, made during the time that this lovely green drink was still quite taboo. And how can you blame them? One look and you’ll be just as hooked on the gorgeous artistry, as you will be with the half naked women that adorn many of them. Almost everybody who was anybody had at least one hanging in their flat. For anyone who visited New York around the year 2000 or so, these posters were as common as, well, the common cold. Otherwise known as “Green Muse” by Parisians, Absinthe posters hung on the walls of many establishments.
Absinthe poster plus#
Made from lemon balm, mint, fennel, hyssop and wormwood (a supposed hallucinogen), plus the 110 – 144 amounts of high-proof spirit, Absinthe had a fighting battle throughout its entire course in history, even up to this very day.īefore Absinthe was banned, it was rather enjoyed by many folk around the world, mostly in France. This MD was banned in Switzerland, which probably made the debate around the matter that much more questionable. Made by a French doctor in the late 1700’s, it was originally intended for medicinal purposes. The name alone already connotes a lot of baggage.
