It's been a couple of years now since I have had a drink, I preferred beer when I did buy beer to drink and not use for medicinal purposes. Medicinal purpose kind of spoiled me on drinking beer. But I do like tonic water, mostly plain and straight and try to have a few gulps every day out of the bottle. I never thought of putting some candy in a glass and slow sipping the tonic water, I might have to try that, but I don't do candies very often at all, but it gives me an idea to try for the next time my throat is bothering me, drop a couple throat candies and slow drink.
