Do it.

Well, if you are actually attempting a cleansing fast, then no.

Otherwise, why not?

Posted by wingedkat on February 6, 2013 at 10:18 PM

@I dunno, with how much vomiting is bound to be involved I think it might be quite cleansing.

Posted by Pick1 on February 6, 2013 at 10:19 PM

Obviously you should do it.

You can make it to Friday! Then you can drink the entire bottle!

I think I saw this once on an episode of "Intervention."

@3

Good point. Considering that vomit might ensue, it would be wise to think about how bad that juice would taste on the way back *up*.

Noooooooo

Posted by pfffter on February 6, 2013 at 10:36 PM

OMG the question is WHY NOT do it. Of course self control in the year 2013 is the new paradigm. One must pace one self with that bottle of Gin. Bombay, we now call it Mumbai!

I will buy you your second post-diet burger if you don't do it.

Please don't.

Go for it, if you like being really sick.

Don't do it! Be strong! I believe in you! I have psoriasis, I've done detoxes before, I know how hard it is. But you will get so sick if you drink booze!

If gin were juice, then Snoop wouldn't have been singing about gin AND juice, now would he? It would just be 'juice and juice.'

Stay strong.

When did this turn into an AA blog? Call your sponsor.

You can also try drinking some tulsi tea from http://organicindia.mercola.com/tulsi-te… and I think cleansing using those are good enough too. Just watch out because it might be too strong for you!

I think Hanna's suggestion is better, I've checked this http://organicindia.mercola.com/tulsi-te… and it is a tulsi tea which came from India as I read it!

So did you?

Mmmm... delicious juniper juice

Posted by Minneapolitan on February 7, 2013 at 6:56 AM

Yuck. No.

Posted by Bugnroolet on February 7, 2013 at 7:17 AM

Of course it's juice. And medicinal, just add a squeeze of lime and you ward off scurvy.

Posted by imbecile on February 7, 2013 at 8:25 AM

No. Gin is evil. Stop.

A gin and tonic not only tastes delicious, it also wards off malaria!

(the history of the invention of the gin-and-tonic is a delightful story)

Fermented juniper berry ... uh ... juice isn't exactly juice after it's been distilled, merely liquid. Besides, I'd hate to think of your blood alcohol level spiking alarmingly quickly considering you've been taking everything in liquid form.
