I would have thought it could kill you.

Buddha comes to the vinegar jar, dips in a finger and has a taste. "Bitter," is his comment. "It can cause suffering to the palate, and since suffering is to be avoided, the stuff should be disposed of at once."

The next to stick a finger in the vinegar is Jesus Christ. "Yuk," says Jesus. "It's both bitter and sour. It's not fit to drink. In order that no one else will have to drink it, I will drink it all myself."

But now two people approach the jar, together, naked, hand in hand. The man has a beard and woolly legs like a goat. His long tongue is slightly swollen from some poetry he's been reciting. The woman wears a cowboy hat, a necklace of feathers, a rosy complexion. Her tummy and tits bear the stretch marks of motherhood; she carries a basket of mushrooms and herbs. First the man and then the woman sticks a thumb into the vinegar. She licks his thumb and he hers. Initially they make a face, but almost immediately they break into wide grins. "It's sweet," they chime.

"Swee-eet!"

True story!

I drink vinegar every day, and have been for several years (I started a thread about it a while back). I drink about 2oz daily, so that means about 14oz a week - almost a bottle. I think it matters which type you drink as some are more acidic than others. The one I drink is Organic Apple Cider with Mother, that means it's not distilled. All the good stuff is still in it. I mix 2oz of vinegar with 1oz of olive oil. You have to be really careful though because it will eat the enamel off your teeth if you don't do it properly. There are a TON of benefits from drinking apple cider vinegar.

It's a natural antibiotic, it lowers your blood sugar levels, aids in weight loss, good for your heart, is a powerful antioxidant, lowers cholesterol, and so many other benefits. Look it up, you'll start drinking it, too. :thumbsup
