This. And fucking Schweppes has now even made its normal tonic 'low calories'which means still with sugar but enough sweeteners added to make it equally rank to the slimline one. We're now forced to go for posh wanker tonics and our children will be destitute. Bawbags.

The latest fucking thing with Tonics is for the maker of The London Essence tonic to tell their customers that "You can't tell the difference between our Slimline and other normal tonics.."

Fuck off! You and the 19 year old spotty, ginger twat at the bar yesterday who tried to lecture me on my knowledge of getting pissed on gin and tonic since before his deformed father was born!"

Aldi do a Fever Tree equivalent for a fraction of the posh wanker price.

Added to this the sweeteners keep on ending up being found to be worse for you than sugar.

Laolao.

Not particularly unusual as a drink - it's just distilled rice spirit but it's a) incredibly cheap and b) rather easy to drink.

Here are some photos of a well regarded Laolao distillery (according to our guide). The pigs get fed the leftovers and are therefore permanently pissed.
