is taking 1 gin and tonic per night bad?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: unless you have a history of alcohol abuse or dependency, in which case it will very likely not stay at 1 drink.  If you are using a shot glass and are having 1.5 oz. of gin per night, that is within safe drinking limits for women.  If you are using it to help sleep, however, be aware that alcohol commonly causes a "rebound" where people wake up 3-4 hours later&amp;may have trouble sleeping.

Old quinine elixir: Grove's Chill Tonic was a drink developed by Wiley Grove, to mask the taste of quinine in the late 1800's.  It was tremendously popular and was used to prevent malaria. The Bristol-Myer company bought the original company and continued to make it for a time, but stopped at some point. There are other forms of quinine available.  See

Depends on how much: Gin is in the tonic.  Safe drinking limits for women are no more than 1 standard drink (1.5 oz of 80 proof gin or other distilled spirits) per day, no more than 7/week and never more than 3 per drinking occasion. If you have a family history of alcohol problems, smoke cigarettes or have depression, you are at greater risk of alcohol problems. For men under 60, it's 2 standard drinks/day or 14/week.
