Probably because no one could remember what happened the night before.  I can certainly say this was a primary cause.

You can find absinthe sold at a bar in New Orleans called Pirate's Alley Cafe.  They serve it a la "From Hell" with the burning sugar cube.  Very cool place that I sat (and drank) in this past Halloween!  :)
 
 Also, you can buy absinthe (and accessories to serve it, etc.) here: http://www.absinth.com (http://www.absinth.com)

Not in Maryland you can't, thanks to our prohibatory liquor laws in this fucking state     ;)    Some very nice stuff there. I do have a couple spoons already. Now I just need the oh, so sweet nectar.

Aaah, so true, so true.  I could see that working for a number of substances...
