15 Insanely Weird Moments That Made You Love Marilyn Manson

3. Creating His Own Absinthe

Manson loves absinthe. He started dating former wife Dita Von Teese when she arrived at his house on his thirty-second birthday with a bottle of the stuff.

He even paints with absinthe; an avid watercolour painter, Manson was once drinking while painting when he accidentally dipped his brush into the wrong bottle, causing him to notice that the stain created an interesting effect. The next logical step, then, was creating his own absinthe - Mansinthe contains 66.6% alcohol per volume and is a blend of grand wormwood, anise, fennel and other assorted herbs. Delicious.
