As malaria became more of a threat to the Empire, soldiers were given doses of quinine powder to prevent and treat the disease. Yeah... I knew about that already. Maybe that 25% Brit part of my heritage is what makes me appreciate it. Trust the Brits to come up with a creative way to make bitter medicine tasty, refreshing and intoxicating... But who was the wizard who figured out that gin would work so well with it? Edited March 20, 2020 by Tommy T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffH Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I read somewhere that the amount of quinine in bitter lemon drink is so small as to be useless for any malaria you might have, I suspect it would be the same for COVID-19... but hey it can't hurt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to wrap your brain around it. Confusion abounds. Will it taper out and go away? Or is the worst yet to come? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
