Especially funny because the Benedictine monks of France also made a fantastic herbal liqueur. The lesson, as always: the British isles are a perverted place

It's quite an experience. Think they banned it in Glasgow because it led to street drunks being "very drunk and very wired".

Officially the monks deplore its use as maniac juice and say it's meant to be drunk in small amounts as a tonic wine But they still make it, so 🤷♂️

Tho, due to WW1, Chartreuse ended up being in heavy demand for years in Bolton, UK. Tommies from that area (regiments organised on regional basis) got used to drinking it with boiling water and took the habit home.
