This is probably not really relevant to this discussion, but doesn't tonic
water contain quinine. My understanding is that in some British colonies with
a malaria problem, tonic water was used as a malaria preventative. Since
tonic water tastes evil by itself, gin was added, thereby creating a very
nice medication that had to be suffered through every day.
