Yeeeehaww!

Alright, let me explain "virtually". Any commercial absinthe through history has carried the caveat of alcohol poisoning before thujone toxicity, but I've heard of many people dying from home brews wherein the maceration wasn't distilled so the wormwood potency was much higher.

Having made and consumed home-brewed absinthe after my old roommate stole my remaining European stash, the bitterness of undistilled absinthe (think sipping on Pastis while chewing on several aspirin tablets) coupled with chemically-induced seizures strikes me as one of the more unpleasant possible deaths from consumption.
