Roman Gatorade

[russia almighty]

Vinegar has electrolytes in it. Slaughtering barbarians really does sap ye so a little Roman Gatorade and your all set .

Basically along with water the electrolytes will help get the body back into homeostasis .

Adding vinegar is also a cheap way to kill some of the microbes that may be in the water

Thats intereasting, I actually never knew that. any idea how much vinegar they would put in their water?

When I was young and stupid I read Bible accounts about Roman soldiers giving Christ water & vinegar to drink as he was dying on a cross. I thought it was some form of ancient vinegar torture to make the condemned man suffer even more. In reality Christ must have actually benefited from such a shot of electrolytes. The Roman sentry was probably acting out of genuine compassion as vinegar water was probably his favorite drink consumed as frequently as we drink cola.

No idea but there are recipes on the web and I think we should give it a try and taste it...and post reactions.

I certainly woulden't mind giving it a try, I could take some of it to my reenactments

"If you get tired after only an hour of killing smelly barbarians, maybe you need..."
