Does anybody take a "tonic wine".......and......?

Question

what are the benefits of this medicinal liquid, and does it make one tipsy.

Answer 1

Wine contains sulfides.  These are bad for a persons liver & kidneys.  Not to mention the stomach lining & many other health risks.  I'd never take it or any other beverages that contain unknowns.  I'm somewhat of a purest.

Answer 2

Probably fortified with iron.

It will have the same effect as any other alcohol drink.

Answer 3

It is pretty much standard advice to take 2 glasses of red wine a day and it apparently promotes heart health. When you go over that, it takes away from the benefits from what I have been told. The Doc just laughed when I asked if I could "save" my 2 glasses a day and just drink 14 on Saturday night. Guaranteed you get tipsy.

I make wine but rarely drink it. My Docs and workers and family get 98 percent of it. I don't think beer comes into play but since Ben Franklin said beer was proof God loves us and wants us to be happy, that was good enough for me.

Answer 4

MY neighbour, a young lady of 81, tells me she has a small tot of SANATAGEN  each night. She  goes out every day, doing errands for what she calls THE OLD FOLK who cant get out. IF i could prove it was the tonic that keeps her going, i would ask for it to be put on the NHS, instead of some of the stuff that gets priscribed. Long may she continue.

Answer 5

No but I mix protein powder in milk and drink it after my workouts to help build muscle. And I have been known on occasion to have a few Miller Lites to relax said muscles!

Answer 6

I don't,  but I do remember my mother taking a nightly glass of  'Sanatogen' tonic wine. I think it was supposed to work like a tonic medicine. I think she said it settled her nerves but on reflection I think any wine would do that !

Answer 7

Never have heard of tonic wine, so I have never taken it..

but I sure have drank a good Cabernet on occasion....
