I don’t think there IS any quinine in tonic water. There used to be a little bit but they took it out when they discovered it could be dangerous.

“I don’t think there IS any quinine in tonic water.”

NOW you tell me. I’ve been drinking half a dozen gin & tonics a day strictly for medicinal purposes! :^)

My tonic water does, in fact, contain quinine. It is the last listed ingredient as quinine hydrochloride (had to fire up the magnifying app).

Listed in the link below. Looked this up before and saw articles that said small amounts and not enough for treatment. I wonder why it is added? Anti-biotic maybe?
