It was banned in France around 1912-14 on the pretext that the stuff was making people go blind (due to the wormwood and high alcohol content)! However, I don't think there was ever any proof of this. more likely, it was vilified by the prohibitionists and social-conservatives, as well as the French wine makers, as it was being consumed in such large quantities that they feared the competition!
