A banned halucinogenic beverage made from
oil extracted from achewood or wormwood and originates in the southern areas of the United States. Drinking achewater causes euphoria, but is often followed by persistent, long lasting
depression or melancholy. Achewood
oil is considered a powerful depressant and is capable of causing permanent brain damage.
According to Chris Onstad, creator of the online comic strip "Achewood" (www.achewood.com), achewater has allegedly inspired a
fair number of Southern folk tales and songs, including "Sullivan's Bear and Dried Bird" and "I'm Following a Little Round Lord."
After several bottles of achewater,
Jim was feeling just a tad bit more than mildly euphoric and proceeded to pantomime
sex acts with a nearby light fixture. The next
day, he shot himself in the mouth.
