Tarred with wide brush

In a story about how easy it is for underage drinkers to buy alcohol via the Internet, absinthe is prominently featured, probably because it is the only way to buy it currently. Killer quotes get the mainstream media all worked up into a froth, including ones like "trippy hallucination" and "discreet... plain packaging". And damaging web sites like some purveyors of "Czech-zinthe" who brag about the Feds not "lobbing stun grenades" through your window. Ugh. We'll never get reasonable coverage and a legal glass of absinthe at this rate.
