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.
The number of days you can survive without food varies from person to person. A 2009 review in âArchiv Fur Kriminologieâ reports that humans can generally survive with no food or drink for eight to 21 days and may be able to survive without food, if they have water, for up to two months.
