Some of them are Vincent van Gogh, Oscar wild, Aleister Crowley, Earnest Hemingway, Charles Baudelaire,Amedeo Modigliani, and Arthur Rimbaud Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

But absinthe brings bad effects to health. It always refers as dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. In 18th century it became more popular all over the Europe. Because of that some countries of  Europe had to ban this alcohol.
