“I tried to order some Quinine capsules on Amazon.”

SLIDE ALERT

I keep pushing gin and tonics or, in my case, vodka tonics. Quinine in the tonic.

It is my understanding that the gin and tonic came to be because English military men stationed in India in the 19th century were issued quinine to take as an anti-malarial and figured out a way to be creative with it to make it more palatable.
