I kind of wanted to be a beatnik poet in The Village, sipping on absinthe in some speak easy, writing amazing stuff and starving. Fortunately I didn't follow that path I guess, especially with the thujone! There are some "speak easies" in Manhattan but it's more of a gimmick I think, and I haven't been since becoming a dad. Mint tea does the opposite for me, inducing some reflux. I think you've written about this previously, too, so thanks for that!

Yeah, thujone is quite the interesting molecule!
