I hate the idea of “modernized” adaptations.. if anything we should do the opposite.. take a popular show from 2015 and remake it set in the 1850s or 1400s or something.. it’s about the COSTUMES, it’s about the settings...!! i see fucking iphones and skinny jeans and mcdonalds and automobiles every day of my life.. it’s boring!!!! WHERE are the people in long velvet cloaks.. the elaborate architecture.. the showcase of previously forgotten technology and culture relevant to the time period.... 

#I can't think of a single show that I wouldn't like MORE if it were set in either a historical or a fantasy world #(so long as it had an actual budget and the 'historical fashion' wasn't like.. a prom dress from JC penny or something) #even reality tv shows #I would love a mockumentary style fake 'reality tv' (since it's actually actors doing improv not real people) version of like #bad girls club set in the 1600s or like in a fantasy setting ghvghvgfh #NOTHING.. NOTHING can not be improved by simply setting it in a time and place that is not our own #n o t h i n g #and EVERYTHING can be made worse by setting it in modern times #i have had ENOUGH of modern times.. i fucking LIVE here #let's see something else for a change PLEASE #I don't want to hear a character talk about TikTok... they should be talking about Telegram or Treacherous Magic Portal #Of Communication. #All characters are instantly made better with the knowledge that jeff bezos does not exist to them and none of them have #ever sent a text or rode in a car #(single exception is like 1890s-1910s automobiles that look funny and ONLY if they're a very minor part of the setting OR in a fantasy world #(like.. orcs that actually have cars but it's that type of car gjbjhhj... I like the idea of elevanting fantasy technology in a world #beyond the typical like weird medieval sort of vibes where some groups DO have tech similar to the real world but just older or worse #or weirder versions. elves have basic telegrams and are figuring out glass plate photography. vampires are trying to master #flight at the moment and they keep failing and just sending people off the edge of cliffs to explode. etc. etc. ghbhjb) #ANYWAY .. you get what i mean ghbhj #I'm still trying to go through every media I've ever watched and think if any of them would be worse set in a historical or fantasy #world and I can't think of any.. ultimate improvement tool (again. with the assumption that it's actually handled WELL with a thought out #researched world and decent budget. etc.) #*watching masterchef or something completely average* wow what if everyone was in baroque costumes instead.. this would be better #somehow.. surely the cooking would be improved

If you're going on a solo adventure during a record (!) snowfall, it ReaLLy helps to be friends with a kind, helpful Q-kind of person

Dear @ato-the-bean, tHaNk YoU for your recommendations (beforehand), considerable mentoring (in the park) + downright hand holding through my non-MI6 issued phone (during the drive out). Without your extraordinarily calm Q-level-assistance I shudder thinking how the Yosemite leg of this adventure would have unfolded, especially the leaving part. Thx to your top notch research skills, I got out of the park before it closed for days to sleep soundly (!) in a beautiful room (!) with a belly full of delicious food + wine. A week later, my family + I are still singing your praises(!). 💜

#m’friend you hold a w e a l t h of knowledge + wisdom about this special place #and so generously + kindly share it #glad you suggested tunnel view on day 1!! #loved the valley walk on day 2 #i thought there was so.much.snow then #and there was with a foot+ falling each night #HOWEVER ha ha ha ha ha #i got out before the EVEN BIGGER SNOW arrived #thanks to alex + chuy + shane for their part in making it possible to leave the park #one thing is certain: i KNOW how to put on + take chains off a car #because i did it several times...in the same day #oh lawdy #love how the general store had E v E r Y t H i N g👀 you might need while you're away in the woods #yosemite national park #the fox meets online friends irl holiday #part 2: yosemite national park #fox takes pics #nature's healing balm #photography #nature #personal

National Gin and Tonic Day

National Gin and Tonic Day is celebrated every year on April 9 to appreciate this vintage drink. Much like pancakes and maple syrup; bacon and eggs; spaghetti and meatballs; peanut butter and jelly; and apple pie and ice cream, something about G&T (gin and tonic) feels right. Alright, that’s enough dreaming about food for now!

What makes gin and tonic special is that it’s surprisingly easy to prepare yet tastes amazing. The ingredients are in the name; it doesn’t get any simpler than this, does it? G&T is the perfect daytime drink. Just kidding, it is equally perfect for nighttime too!

History of National Gin and Tonic Day

Gin has had a rollercoaster ride by falling in and out of fashion throughout the ages. Its origin is even more interesting. Gin and tonic was invented by the officers of the Presidency Armies, the Armed Forces of the East India Company operating in the Indian subcontinent. Malaria was a frequent problem for Europeans living in India and other tropical regions during this time. In the 1700s, Scottish physician George Cleghorn researched the use of quinine in the prevention of malaria. Quinine was consumed along with tonic water but had a bitter taste.

In the early 19th century, the officers of the Presidency armies in India began adding a mixture of water, sugar, lime, and good old gin to quinine to make the drink easier to go down. That’s how the famous gin and tonic cocktail was born! It was easy to make this drink as the officers were already given gin as part of their ration. Since tonic water is not used as an antimalarial medicine these days, it has lower quantities of quinine and is usually sweet and not at all bitter as it used to be.

Winston Churchill said, “Gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen’s lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.” Now, that’s some noteworthy praise. Soon, Schweppes arrived, the famous tonic water in 1783, which was aimed at the growing market of overseas Britons who had to take a daily preventative dose of quinine. Schweppes and other commercial tonics boomed in the colonies, and eventually in Britain as well. So, it appears we have malaria and the British Army in India to thank for this sweet and delicious concoction called G&T.

National Gin and Tonic Day timeline

1840s The G&T is Born

Tonic water is created after British citizens and army personnel in India mix quinine with soda, sugar, and lime.

1857 The Great Indian Mutiny

The British Crown obtains control of India after the Sepoy Mutiny, which leads to an influx of Britons and G&Ts in the subcontinent.

1870 Schweppes in the House

Schweppes introduces its “Indian Quinine Tonic” later known as “Indian tonic water.”

2010s Ginnaisance

After falling out of fashion for a while, gin and G&Ts make a comeback called the “ginnaisance.”

National Gin and Tonic Day FAQs

Why was gin nicknamed “mother’s ruin?”

People’s obsession was blamed for a lot of misery, crime, madness, death, and falling birth rates. Places that served gin let women drink alongside men for the first time and it is thought that this led women to neglect their children and turn to prostitution.

What is the ratio of gin to tonic?

You can go for three parts gin with five parts tonic water. The old school and simple one-to-two ratio is also good.

What kind of people drink G&T?

An Austrian study conducted on 953 people stated that gin and tonic drinkers tend to exhibit more signs of being psychopaths and malevolent than those who prefer other drinks.

How to keep gin and tonic fizzy?

A lot of ice cubes keep the temperature of the drink lower, which means that the carbon dioxide in the tonic finds it harder to escape, keeping the drink fizzy for a long time.

5 Facts About G&Ts That Will Blow Your Mind

Bathtub gin

“Fleabag” helped G&T sales

It’s an intergalactic drink

Thank Holland for gin

The Philippines loves gin

Gin was often made illegally in bathtubs by mixing cheap grain-alcohol with juniper-berry juice, which would lead to several illnesses and death.

The characters in the popular T.V. show “Fleabag” were seen drinking cans of Marks & Spencer G&T in an episode, resulting in a 24% jump in the drink’s sales.

Douglas Adams’ book “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” suggests that the drink is known across galaxies.

Holland invented the spirit, which was popularized by the English, who were introduced to it in the 17th century.

With almost 43% of the world’s total consumption, the Philippines is the largest consumer of gin.

Why We Love National Gin and Tonic Day

It tastes great

There are many ways to make it

It’s easy to make

We all know that there’s no such thing as just one glass of G&T. Thanks to the drink’s delicious and irresistible taste, we just can’t stop having it!

Although a G&T is usually made up of just a few ingredients, we can still tweak the recipe to our liking by adjusting the amount of tonic water. We can also alter the quantity of lime juice, add different flavors, and get creative.

What other cocktail has all its ingredients listed in its name? G&T is arguably the easiest drink to make; all we need is gin, tonic water, lime juice, and some ice cubes. There’s no way to go wrong, even a child could do it! Wait, forget that last part.
