Tonic water originally started as a way to consume quinine, which is an effective prophylactic (no, not that kind) against malaria. Tonic is quinine dissolved in carbonated water with a little sweetener added to it. One of the neat things about quinine is its phosphorescent qualities. It glows under UV light.
So, y'know, next time you're at a Rave you know what to drink.
