How exactly and when did the term "Bohemian" start to refer to nightlife, drinking and social culture, beyond the original meaning of "person from the region of Bohemia", the Czech region? What led to the association?

I have just seen a claim that the association between witches and flying broomsticks is because women would lace brooms with hallucinogens like fungus-infected rye and then shove them up their ladybits. Is there any merit to this claim at all? NSFW
