I did comment on the definition on the absinthe talk page, in the section about liqueur vs liquor that is in shambles (I've been considering refactoring it), the short of it is the definition is incorrect and it seems to be an error bouncing around since at least 1911. My guess is it's a translation error as the french word for liquor is "liqueur."
75:
dictionary entry I enclosed, which you did not comment on, states that absinthe is a liqueur), then we'll have to add a disambig at the top of the List of liqueurs to a new page called "flavored liquors," which can include absinthe, arak, and unsweetened flavored vodkas. I'll make such a page. But I'd like to hear your ideas first.

British English. (Actually, if you look at his contributions, that's pretty much all he ever does on Knowledge (XXG).) The first time he did it, he claimed he was reverting vandalism, which caught my eye (because he wasn't "reverting" anything). I switched it back because using American English is

Some of the newer absinthes do have sugar although it's a very few and not enough to meet the majority of
Liqueur definitions. I'm unaware of the exact ingredients used in Arak but if it doesn't contain much to any added sugar I would agree. I think a page for Flavored liquors would be good idea.
244:
Anyway, to make a long story short, he's very persistent about it (despite my attempts at explanation) and I'd like your thoughts on the issue. I've left his last edit in place because I don't want to be part of an edit war unless I know I'm doing the right thing. I don't have a particularly strong
74:
If you're going to remove absinthe from the list of liqueurs (I thought some of the newer "fake" absinthes had at least some minute amount of sugar; am I incorrect?), wouldn't you have to also remove arak and some of the others with little or no sugar? If you insist on doing this (though the

Hello Ari, Your photo is a lovely one. Can you tell me about the glass itself? Is it currently available or is it an antique? Is there a special market or website vendor who specializes in
Absinthe glassware and spoons? Thank you for your help. ~diana

I see
Absinthe is on the front page today. It's kind of a mixed blessing; great that it will get lots of new readers, but a pain in the ass because half of those new readers will vandalize it. I'll do my best to keep an eye on it when I can.
350:
Ari - Thank you for the corrections, they have all been made. I hope that you will continue to review the ABG and offer suggestions when you have the time. Just send an email to the ABG.
378:
Thanks. It's Verte de
Fougerolles, which often has a thick green to green-yellow color. The Jade liqueurs line is also quite green although it is a lighter peridot color. --
319:
while it should be obvious absinthe can be drank neat or "van gogh crazy", it is laughable. Absinthe shouldn't be drunk neat (most high proof liquor shouldn't be drunk neat).
269:
Sure, although I think it needs more corrections than just FAQ and history, it would be a start. From what I remember there weren't many errors but a few were glarring.
158:- see the edit history there!). It's hard when doing it all alone, but I'm hoping to finish it (though these things are never finished..) and get it to FA status.
284:
Absinthe is not sold because the FDA bans a finished food product from containing both thujone and artemisia species (thujone itself is not banned).
259:
Ari - Would you be willing to make suggestions to the ABG to correct any information that you think could be inaccurate on the FAQ or
History page?
245:
opinion about the regional issue, but I also don't like to see pages bullied into using one or the other. A third opinion would be appreciated.
308:
Answers are inconsistent. For example, the thujone levels is corrected in later answers but the old claim still exists at the top of the page.
316:"winston's traditional" is not winston's at all, it is the traditional way. The exact amount of water varies in traditional preparation.

Great picture - that's exactly what I meant when I said we needed a photo of absinthe. Nice job. Much improved over my shoddy work.
144:
is a great picture. I have uploaded it to the
Commons. You might want to check out the page about absinthe I have started there -
217:
Haha, no kidding, there have been some good additions but the edits go faster than I can keep track, thanks for the help. --
141:
290:
Vermouth most likely doesn't contain thujone (at least one brand has been publicly tested and contained none).
171:
Thanks. The commons and estonian sections look good (My estonian is a bit rusty), keep up the good work. --

Besides poor manufacture many of the studies and claims around absinthism are questionable to begin with.
42:
It would be nice if you could upload the picture "Absinthe-glass.jpg" to
Wikimedia Commons. Thank you --

please do not edit it. If you would like to respond to something here, do so on my main talk page.

The thujone levels in any EU country is 10 mg/kg or 35 mg/kg if the product is labeled a bitters.

certainly not vandalism. It's been using AE since 2002 and it reached FA status that way.

Thujone in absinthe most likely has no effect on a person.

Very little absinthe is produced in the czech republic.

Thujone is not toxic in any doses found in absinthe.
