In which biblical story can you find those two elements?

In the Van Gogh "Still Life with Absinthe", he is illustrating how it is meant to be consumed. It should be diluted with water like Anisette.
Van Gogh often met other Impressionists in cafes to talk about life and art. Absinthe was terrible for their health, poisonous after a while as it attacked brain tissue. The painting can be viewed in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
