Mickey Finn was barkeeper of the Lone Star Saloon & Palm Garden on Chicago’s Whiskey Row in the 1890s, who used his concoction to incapacitate clients and relieve them of their worldly goods. A Mickey Finn was used in The Maltese Falcon to produce the so-called “knock-out drop” effect on Humphrey Bogart, an effect which was not seen on volunteers in a study of mid-1970s vintage. Chlorals are the oldest class of hypnotics; trichlorethanol is the first metabolite of chloral and causes its hypnotic effect.
