A while back I read somewhere that experiments showed the quinine dosage in the gin & tonics consumed in the English colonies of India (unpalatably bitter compared those of today) was potent enough in quinine to increase it into the low medicinally effective range in the bloodstream, I wonder if drinking really strong coffee (even if similarly difficult to swallow) would lead to the same for caffeine.

Good chance I might have that. Love a good cold espresso tonic.

Dear Stone Age Herbalist, I saw your Twiiter thread on Afrocentric ideology. Are you going to write a piece refuting the claims that every nation was originally inhabited by blacks? What is the consensus view?
