In an effort to be super hydrated on Saturday night I was drinking tonic water and a lime. In my mind there were many benefits.1) Hydration
2) No added calories from beer
3) Judgment in 100% unimpaired
4) Healthy alternative to so many other options on a Saturday night out…
5) And don’t forget the fruit!
Turns out I was wrong on a few of these…problem number one is that I somehow confused tonic water and soda water. I figure soda water was the sugary caloric one…soda=pop=sugar…turns out I was wrong – so there goes point number 2. As for point number 4, it turns out in order to give tonic water that kick that we all know and love, quinine is added. According to Wikipedia this had something to do with malaria. The correlation is completely lost on me and this makes me wonder if Wikipedia is making things up…but despite that skepticism, I ran across this picture that illustrates what tonic water does under UV light – it’s crazy. Tonic water glows! Are you serious, was I really ingesting glowing water thinking I was drinking bubbly yummy good for me water! There are days when I wish Wikipedia didn’t exist and I was still happy drinking my tonic water – Ignorance really is bliss sometimes!
