[QUOTE="chrisy, post: 1184192, member: 3193"] ah! "the old mothers ruin" this was used years ago in the 1720's when the water in The Eastend of London was so bad the ladies drank gin and tonic, because it was thought the quinine in tonic was good for malaria, and tonic water on its own is an acquired taste so to get them to drink it they added it to gin, the gin they used was called "Old Tom's" and it was heavily sweetened to make it easier on the palate, there were gin shops where you could get the drink for a penny, there was a ditty on the outside saying 'Drunk for a penny, dead drunk for two pence and clean straw for nothing'. most of the men drank beer, as it was not done for a lady to go into a Public House (bar) only ladies of the night frequented these. as for Ebola there are a few stupid ones going about, eating raw onions, drinking salt water (this one shortly followed by death I would think) condensed milk, holy water, bitter kola/kola nut… all of which is just shear madness.IMO [/QUOTE]
