Wormwood is the thing that makes Absinthe, the supposedly hallucinogenic wine-like alcohol so fantastic. This substance itself is legal in the United States, even though Absinthe itself is not legal here. Wormwood is also the extract that is the special ingredient in a new malt energy drink.Four maxed is also the strongest of all the caffeinated alcoholic malt beverages I have ever tried - coming in at a whopping 10 percent alcohol. Although this was not the same as dropping a couple tabs of windowpane, if you can handle the first 3 or four swallows of this drink you can definitely feel the effects of this drink and will leave you buzzed in a number of special ways. Wormwood is supposedly an aphrodisiac, so like many other energy drinks with mysterious sexy ingredients, they are touting this as a sexual enhancer to help you going.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Four is not available everywhere yet, but consider yourself lucky if you can get hold of it. I found mine while traveling through Arizona, and it is available in 16 other states, mainly in the Midwest US. With all the new lawsuits and controversy surrounding energy malt drinks,they might have a harder time getting this into other markets.

Shaun V,

When I read wormwood I just had to write a comment. I boiled an awful of wormwood and than stirred in a number of other herbs to that brew. Next I boiled wraps that I used on my horses in this witches brew. This I did some 50 years ago. I learned these skills from Jerry Buckly who you can read about if you go to my column. Jerry taught me what old horsemen knew years ago, and that perhaps what modern doctors are now finding out.

I never feed wormwood to my animals so none of them did become over sexed.
