The proper way of drinking absinthe.

[statusperfect]

What is the proper 19th century way to drink absinthe?

I know they drank it with a piece of sugar and mixing it with water. Could someone decribe the ritual in detail?

All I know is that it's dangerous to drink and can lead to irreversible damage - maybe if not drunk properly

It's a drug that was popular among poets/atists/burgeois in europe in the 19th century. It's alcohol mixed with some herb.
