I'm pretty sure the OP intended "drinking" in its literal, general sense, not the specific cultural one where "drinking = drinking an alcoholic beverage". (The beverage in the OP might be alcoholic, but I don't think so-not that this really influences the above distinction). So for you, the question still stands.

Also you might have a copy of that book, but that isn't a picture that you took (unless you did). It's been floating around for something like 18 months now.

Gun is my main tipple, great stuff and few liquors have as wide of range of flavors since pretty much anything that runs the vaporized liquor through plant matter to pick up flavor and aroma can be called gin.

Most gin is not sweet, generally that is the second shelf gins but some of the higher end ones have sugar added as well. If you are drinking gin and tonic, get better tonic, most tonic water has a great deal of sugar, Canada Dry has about half the sugar of the common tonics, brands like Q have very little sugar.
