Too much gin and tonic.

British cuisine doesn't really use bitterness much. Although Britain brought back curry from India they didn't pick up a taste for bitter cuisine such as gourds.

gin and tonic is pretty much India's national drink. Considering it was basically invented by the British to ..you know.. not die in India.

P.S. and so is hydroxychloroquine ;)

Not any more! (The strains found in India are largely resistant these days, and other drugs are more appropriate.)
