But wine is fine.
I have yet to have some good Absinthe. The American version sucks.

Actually, I'm not into beer. I want the harder stuff. Vodka. Have I mentioned vodka on this site and tinychat? I think I have.
Absinthe's not so bad. I've had some my mate brought back from France which wasn't so bad. You certainly need to cut it with water and sugar but no matter how you slice it it's going to have that strong anise (licorice) flavor. I like the ones with a bit woody undertone to the taste.
I don't believe the American Absinthe contains ANY wormwood but I might be wrong. Haven't actually had any absinthe since we started selling it here in the states. I also have a bit of homemade which was awesome (not my making).
Any good absinthe should have a pretty high alchohol content, approaching everclear levels. Ok, not that high but around 70%.
You can order absinthe online w/wormwood and have it shipped here. It runs the minimal risk of being intercepted but...
