Gin and tonic


Gin and tonic

       A wiki link on the subject can be found at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_and_tonic

            In the USA these days, the percentage of quinine is much reduced these days in OTC (over the counter) tonic waters.

            I believe quinine is still considered a good way to fight malaria, if concentrated enough.

            Gin and tonics were originally  a way to drink alcohol, and also a way to tamp down the bad taste that quinine gives most humans.
