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.
A person can survive only  three to five days without water, in some cases people have survived for an average of one week. It is not recommended that anyone try this at home. Once the body is deprived of fluids the cells and organs in the body begin to deteriorate.
