Another Letter to Congress on HR 5034 OCTOBER 8, 2010 | MODERN DISTILLERY AGE WEEKLY E-NEWSLETTER VOLUME 1 | NUMBER 41 “Spirit of Mount Vernon” Industry Another Letter to Congress on H.R. 5034 Heritage Dinner and Spirits Rare Auction On October 4, another joint letter was sent to Congress: “Dear Member of Congress: “Last week, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on H.R. 5034 and the new language being proposed by its author. We believe the testimony provided convincing evidence that this version of the legislation, like the previous version, would allow the promotion of discriminatory state laws and would invite new litigation that would upend the careful balance of local, state and federal regulation of alco- hol beverages. We remain united in our opposition to this version of H.R. 5034. “First, while proponents of H.R. 5034 have claimed that an ‘avalanche’ of litigation exists, nothing could be further from the truth. There is one case today that Former Gov. Frank Keating (Okla.) poses with James L. Bareuther has not been substantively resolved by the trial court.

  • Absinthe, Absinthism and Thujone – New Insight Into the Spirit's Impact on Public Health
    32 The Open Addiction Journal, 2010, 3, 32-38 Open Access Absinthe, Absinthism and Thujone – New Insight into the Spirit's Impact on Public Health Dirk W. Lachenmeier*,1, David Nathan-Maister2, Theodore A. Breaux3, Jean-Pierre Luauté4 and Joachim Emmert5 1Chemisches und Veterinäruntersuchungsamt (CVUA) Karlsruhe, Weissenburger Strasse 3, D-76187 Karlsruhe, Germany 2Oxygenee Ltd, P.O. Box 340, Burgess Hill, RH15 5AP, UK 3Jade Liqueurs, L.L.C., 3588 Brookfield Rd, Birmingham, Alabama, 35226, USA 425 Rue de la République, 26100 Romans, France 5Perreystrasse 34, D-68219 Mannheim, Germany Abstract: Absinthe, a strong alcoholic aperitif, is notorious for containing the compound ‘thujone’, which has been commonly regarded as its ‘active ingredient’. It has been widely theorized that the thujone content of vintage absinthe made it harmful to public health, and caused the distinct syndrome absinthism, which was extensively described in the literature prior to the spirit’s ban in 1915. The interdisciplinary research presented in this paper shows that 1) absinthism cannot be distinguished from common alcoholism in the medical research literature of the time, and that 2) due to the physical chemistry of the distillation process, the thujone content of vintage absinthe was considerably lower than previously estimated and corresponds to levels generally recognized as safe, as proven by analyses of absinthes from the pre-ban era. Due to the re-legalization of absinthe in the European Union and more recently in the United States, potential public health concerns have re-emerged, not expressly based on worries about thujone content or absinthism, but on alcohol-related harm and youth protection issues, exacerbated by marketing strategies promoting absinthe using false and discredited claims pertaining to thujone and stubbornly persistant myths.
