Tonic Water Diet Details

Oh you Americans, it’s not kwy-nine, it’s Quin, as in gin, een, as in seen��

Man i can’t believe one can made me feel so relaxed maybe it’s just a coincidence, but seriously im going to start drinking this before bed… Last time i felt this relaxed was when ���� i smoked a………u know��

I’m a very athletic person and suffer wicked leg cramps. My mother suggested Tonic Water with a wedge of lemon. It’s helped allot.

You have a nice camera, which one is it if I may ask? I love tonic water and searched on the beauty of this stuff and now I learned about its health benefits. Thanks for the review. You should be a barman.

Yes, and also when your eye is twitching, one sip of tonic water thanks to its quinine will stop it!:)

@tiffbott41 I agree. a WTF on simple syrup would be great. Just because its called simple doesnt mean everyone knows what it is and all you can do with it.

get to THE PHUKKING POINT OF THE TITLE A-HOLE.. waste of life
LINK to a non-gay REAL direct USEFUL video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oXC1saGi4A

dude! how is it made? what is the process? how would i go about making my own? this video didn’t answer my questions, only repeated stuff you find in a 5min Google search.

Yo your hair cut looks like the evil kids hair cut from the incredibles

The way your mouth moves catches my attention for the most of the time. Lol don’t know if it is just me.

Those “cramps” are not actually cramps. It’s the uterus lining shedding…

If you were to put tonic water into food would it still glow??

Physician here. Thank you so much for helping bring awareness to an important issue in such an accurate and fun way. You sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar, on top of the original internet drinky man.

For some reason, out of all the cocktail channels I watch, my wife knew who I was talking about when I said something about Internet Drinky Man.

I am a crazy gin & tonic girl.. started drinking tonic on its own

hhahah i was just drinking it the other day and was wondering why it was so tasty, then became so bitter.

I follow my bartenders advice: 2 gin and tonics every Friday or get out of my way….haha

Interestingly, most of the ingredients listed here are not in any tonic I’ve ever had.

Whaaaaaaaat I’ve been using Soda Stream brand syrup. It was really hard to find

Need to try this, just without the sugar, should be interesting…

Glen, how can I adjust your recipe for cinchona root POWDEREd, since this is all I have

After reading the description and hearing Glen speak that paragraph word for word, I am wondering if Glen uses a teleprompter…

Heyo there, could you make a video about how you make all your ice types?

Just buy some bitrex and you’ll have a lifetime supply of tonic water. That thing is so bitter that a grain dissolved in a gallon of water is too much

Id suggest you try it because my mom uses it just for that problem.

I drink the chinchroa tea about a gram of powder I love the quinine for me its GREAT medicine. THAT dose makes me feel like a kid again.

Would using simple Syrup or a Flavoring Syrup change the end Results?

He never said how much sugar he added. Or really how much of any of the ingredients. I guess you just do it to taste.

i just know loads who take it abroad as it helps malria prevention

I keep thinking that this drink would be the perfect place to infuse with marijuana (where permissible). I think the flavor would play well with Gin. I couldn’t think of a more refreshing way to write off a night..

I think I got diabetes just by watching you pour that sugar in.

Hello glen i have struggled for 3 years to figureout a way to get clear quinine powder looks like the beverage makers use a very tiny amount of pure quinine and use bitter orange extracts to flavour the tonic water.

For some reason I find gin disgusting, almost like terpertin. Vodka tonics are one of my favorites though, never knew it was so complicated.

Could you please show us your setup for soda water, (carbonation setup)

did he make tonic water or syrup?? i am so confused. why so many ingredients just for tonic water??

No, it isnt because it’s an anti inflammatory, it’s because an insane orange moron heard about them from someone who heard about them from someone else, and thinks thats reason enough to tell everyone to take it. Sort of like we should all inject bleach.

Or…… U could go to the supermarket and buy some ready made and safe

I have tried a few Gin & Tonics and I thinks it’s a terrible cocktail. I have not once had a good one, it’s always just passable. I’d rather make a martini with my gin, and I don’t like strong cocktails that much. Seems like something you have to get used to liking and I choose not to get used to it.

I do it pretty much the same way. I use different spices for my personal taste, but I’m also using the juices from orange, lime and lemon. But I will try it this way.

Another thing to try is cold press espresso with tonic. If you have a Flair then this is very easy to make at home.

I love tonic water. sometimes I just drink it on it’s own with lime, or lemon.

Interestingly (or not), as a child, while I knew there the highball was called a “gin and tonic”, I only knew of the mixer as “quinine water”.

In any case, I’d love to see your take on tonic water’s more antiquated – yet potentially more Millennial friendly – sibling, bitter lemon. That was my Grandpa Morty’s go-to beverage, without any hooch.

Oh dear, Cleghorn didn’t discover quinine. Cleghorn said nothing about gin either. The cinchona tree was already used by the Spanish in South America by at least 1630, quinine is a chemical that was isolated in 1820 (way after Cleghorn in 1751). Quinine wasn’t given to preventatively to soldiers in India until 1850 and not with gin. Tonic water wasn’t invented until the 1860s, and it was in Britain as a digestive, not a malaria cure. The first G&T ref comes from 1868. Chloroquine isn’t a derivative of quinine either. the two compounds aren’t related. Oh and tonic water won’t cure/protect you from coronavirus. Fun video, but not very accurate!

5:52 “talking aboot this” I’m Canadian and that’s the first time I’v actually heard someone say aboot.

He is right, tonic water is not too good source of quinine. You can make your own Tonic water from cinchona bark though. But be EXTREMELY CAREFUL, CINCHONA BARK IS REAL POISON! If any amount of cinchona dust is present in your tonic due to poor filtration, you are in for a big trouble.

Cinchona is a SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS plant. I myself experienced “drunkness” from homemade cinchona tincture after only 13 drops. I didn’t know I have to filtrate the tincture properly. If I took daily recommended dose of 75 drops I may have died.

Another danger is that the EFFECTS OF CINCHONA ARE POSTPONED and you may feel great the whole day after drinking it. Poisoning will start to show off after like 20 hours or even more and lasts up to 2 days.

This being said. If you know what you do and can filter it properly, Cinchona bark is available over the counter and you can get enough of quinine from it.

But will a smaller dose of quinine still allow more zinc into the cells? That is the question. Homemade tonic water could easily have 2 or 300 mg of quinine. Also, harvard & is garbage, everyone knows they have been busted for fraud, basically selling their degrees, big surprise.

I’d like to see a recipe the traditional Victorian way carbonating this in the bottle with citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.

My mom and her friend used to suffer from leg cramps. They were advised to try tonic water and it helped both of them. They are no longer having cramps for years. Havard or no havard approval I know it works

Very informative. I’m a nurse practitioner and I agree with Dr Brokstein’s videos. Smart doc

Here in Canada where I am my ootions are Canada Dry Tonic, Presidents Choice tonic and Schweppes.

This dude is dumb I have lived in North Carolina my whole life and the two BBQ sauces are either tomato based or vinegar this stage coach sauce is dumb

I use the Schweppes 1783 crisp tonic, and for me it’s the best across the board with my gins, the effervescence is great, and I always pour down a bar spoon, looks good in company too lol! I mix on a 1 to 2 (gin to tonic). Do also like the Aldi tonic with a London dry gin, again a nice crisp taste, my (in the week) gnt, Schweppes at the weekend!!

Quinine is one (of many) words I had never heard prnounced before, so my mental guess was kwi-neen. Turns out I was off a bit ��

I take large doses of most drugs weak people die when consuming bark

Are these tonics just sparkling water?? Anything special to look for? Can we find these im america, maybe wholefoods?

I am asking from my experience: Is it normal to get a thickening fizzy foam when you pour your espresso shot over the tonic drink? I almost always have to remove it before drinking it. Any tip to get rid of it?

Nice video, but you never mentioned the origin of Espresso Tonic. It was Koppi in Helsingborg at their former café! ��

If you’re after a particularly good tonic water, then Fever Tree is highly recommended. Not sure if it’s available in the US though…

I’m late, but thank you for bringing at least a handful of brain cells to the chloroquine craziness. We need more research, facts, and reason

THANK YOU for this. Especially the criticism of how media treats bunk science (makes us all look bad…and contributes to why so few people understand or recognize actual peer-reviewed research vs. media hype).

Really well done. Your chloroquine discussion took some courage. Thanks for standing up. On another note, G&T are fantastics.

Quinine is also great for muscle cramps. If you have many cramps drink tonic water, it really helps.

perfect for watching Glastonbury reruns, I’m feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic

gin and tonic was created to help fight malaria in the jungles of British India, quinine is an anti parasitic

I’m Sucking On A 300mg Quinine Tablet Watching This
I LOVE The BITTER Taste
Doctors Refuse To Prescribe Quinine
It Is Illegal To Prescribe Hydroxychloriquine in Australia
Quinine Is Natural,,Hydroychloriquine Is Synthtic/Artificial Poison

I love ❤️ it when YTers I enjoy turn out to be people whom I can also respect. ��

Update: after a VA study looked into this it appears that chloroquine has no benefits and may be harmful as the group who took chloroquine died at a higher rate. As a result they are no longer using chloroquine to treat Covid 19.

This was brilliant, Greg. Love all your videos but this kind of truth was much needed. You’re an inspiration, man

Potentially poisonous tonic water? The perfect mixer for my almost certainly methalated home gin!

Hi Glen, great videos! I was wondering how to get the different roots and barks (and the cheese culture for cheese curds!) in Canada. We live in Western Africa, but we have people coming from Quebec in January. Thanks!

That fish tank lady is being investigated by the police for potential murder of her husband. Who she filed for divorce and was actually a avid Trump hater and donated money to organizations anti anti-science groups. I feel sorry for you if you fell for this BS. Only under Dr care is this prescribed with Z Pak and Zinc. The cheapest medicine out there and is use as a preventative not a a treatment for a person who is at deaths door. 81 years old is the median age of death of covid RELATED deaths, all had under lying conditions.

Immuno depressants stop your immun system from destroying itself by doing too much

Drink to sleep, that drug use France is good advise and you a tole and full of it and are drank!!

Bayer pharmaceuticals has recently bought “Monsanto”a marriage made in hell, so now they can just give us Glyphosate in pill form, soooooooo much easier to kill us with!

About fifteen yeas ago my best friend made the acquaintance of a lovely lady from England (Ross on Wye). She was interested in the unique culture of South Louisiana and travelled here for a six week stay in order to get a taste of things. It’ is mildly warm and humid here in the summer and I was using G&T to self-medicate the effects of the climate. She was literally aghast at my recipe and was very quick to tell me in her proper British way that I was a douche nozzle and that there is only one true way to fabricate a proper G&T. One must use Gordon’s gin as the backbone. NO other brand is acceptable. One must also employ Schweppes Tonic Water. I was also hastily and vigorously informed that it is “Schweppes” and not “Schweppe’s.” Bitch. By then I was hot and thirsty and in an effort to accelerate the now tedious operation I opted to assist her composition by slaughtering, skinning, and butchering a lime. Even though I held the knife her menacing glare stopped me in mid slice. Shaking her head side to side she informed me in a very Audrey Hepburnish tone of voice that in polite society, citrus products are eschewed when it comes to this symbol of the now (thankfully!) defunct British Empire. Now hopelessly parched but unwilling to show impatience I cooly waited for her description of what had to be some required uber high class high society amazingly complex mini ice sculpture to chill the libation. Instead, I received a jolt as if I had been hit in the face by a silver plated Champagne bucketful of ice water as she smilingly responded to my chilling inquiry by retorting “no dear, proper ladies and gentlemen use no ice.” But I had the last word. There is no justice quite like the justice of the poet as she quizzically watched me put the cap back on the bottle of gin, then as her puzzled stare turned to horror, throw the entire tray save the gin into the brown waters of the Amite River. Then, jumping in the water and swimming to the shade of a cypress tree, I whiled away the remainder of the afternoon sipping lukewarm Gordon’s gin while cooling off in the river.

” Out of the goodness of their IG Farben hearts”……. I caught that…..Good one!

Holy crap! This is the most beautiful example of critical thinking and information literacy I’ve seen yet!!! If you are ever in my area, my husband and I would like to buy you a drink. Cheers!

Everyone in the comments going after the media rightfully so, but don’t forget the main reason the media talked about it (the president pushed it as a cure)

Internet Drinky Man needs to be a t-shirt. The superhero of choice in our time of need. Fighting the evils of thirst, boredom, misinformation and sobriety.

Always ask if it’s peer reviewed, and if the results are reproducable! Also, I think that fishtank lady is being investigated for murder now…

Gin & Tonic weather is fast approaching, and I’m excited. After much research on this subject, I’ve concluded that the best way to make one is to shake 2 oz. of Ungava gin with a good squeeze of lime juice with ice, strain that into an ice-filled glass, and top it up with Fever Tree Elderflower tonic. Even my girlfriend, who is not a gin fan, likes it that way.

You Never mentioned the Real Power of Zinc..!
Taken with Tonic water as the delivery system with 100mg of it..to your body to fight the Virus..for people who had Covid..it Worked for them..Period.! That’s Speaks MUCH louder than any study or your research. Google Zinc to fight Virus etc..and Watch the Utubes.

I’m a mostly dry Mormon who is fascinated by this channel. I’ve watched dozens of these, but THIS one makes me want to join Greg’s cult.

Now that more rigorous studies on hydroxychloroquine have been done, you may consider updating this episode. This is, after all, a pandemic which has killed over 500,000 people and your information is very much out of date.

Great video. The G&T is one of my very favorite drinks. As a STEM professional who worked his way through college as a pharmacy tech, this issue makes me shake with anger if I let myself think about it too much. Thank you for doing your research and citing your sources properly.

Yo Internet Drinky Man, one more fun fact about quinine: it can exacerbate or cause cardiac arrhythmia. I get occasional atrial fibrillation, where my atria (the smaller of the heart’s chambers) start to lose their regular rhythm and do a funky jazz beat. It’s not fun. I have always loved Campari but I can’t drink it any more, as every time I do, my heart goes all funky. Now before you go all science-y on me, yes, this is “anecdotal” but I googled and found that this is a known attribute of quinine.

Surely you could isolate quinine from the bark, use the safe amount and just use that with your botanicals.

As a bartender, this dude knows way more than fellow bartender Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does and he’s much more engaging. He should run for U.S. Congress as well.

Gin and Tonic cures boredom even if it doesn’t cure that Rona.

I got liquified zinc and a case of Fever few tonic for health but I’m thinking of adding gin to make a more enjoyable drink for summer. Stuck at home my pool is ready and Arizona heat temperature is now going up to the 100’ I need some enjoyment ✌️

I mean, the story with that older pair is just complete bullshit though. The woman was known for wanting a divorce and hating and abusing her husband and was also a rampant democrat supporter. All of a sudden decided to put blind faith in Trump?

Kinda doubt it.

Wanted to off her hubby?
Quite likely.

Media run with it to make Trump look bad?
Even more likely.

Thank you for talking about being discerning when confronted with “scientific evidence”. Also thank you upping my cocktail game. This channel is a real one-stop shop.

HC is usually not prescribed alone but in conjunction with an antibiotic and maybe intravenous zinc and vitamin c. There is evidence that this regimen is very effective. I think it is tantamount to second degree murder for govenors to ban the use of this regimen. This should be a choice between doctor and patient. Just because the study in France was spurious doesn’t mean that we should ignore the real evidence that recovered patients who used this regimen are telling us. We shouldn’t have to wait for proper science studies which take years while people are dying who might have been saved. I thank you for your clear explanation of the junk French study but we now have quite a few cases here in the US that show promise with the treatment combination. So please stick to your really wonderful how to drink content.

I have always been a beer man. Because of the covid lockdown I did not want to keep going to the supermarket to get beer so took an interest in spirits. I had whiskey which I have had before, but then found gin. In a way I wish I had never found it because I love it, the amazing spice smell and all that goes with it. My first purchase was Bombay Sapphire, second bottle was tanquery. With proper tonic water ( schreppes, or M & S) and a slice of lemon it is devine:-)
