Absinthe is an alcohol made from a number of different herbs, most notably wormwood or Artemisia absinthium. It was very popular among the artist and writer crowd in the 19th and early 20th centuries and was known for its mild hallucinogenic properties.
This would be on the extreme end of human survival though; a more likely estimate would be approximately 3-5 days without water. If the temperature was cranked up to say, 120 F (48 C), you would survive 2.5 days at the upper limit â and thatâs only if you were resting in the shade.
However, if a person is very sick, or in a vegetative state from a stroke or severe brain injury, that person can only survive approximately 10-14 days without food. How long can you live without water? The usual survival time without water is 3 days, but there have been occasional occurrences of people surviving 8-10 days without water. How long can you live without breathing? Usually a person can only survive 3 minutes without breathing, although there are women divers In Japan and other countries who dive for abalone or pearls who are able to survive for 5 minutes at a time, even diving to a depth of 100 feet, on a single breath, though this requires years of training.
