Seasickness

[Bee]

Several years ago, one of my crew, Monique Morris, saved my stomach with the "keep it full" idea.  After I got to the point of dry heaves, she made me eat white crackers and drink a lot of water.  I stopped being sick almost immediately and really started to feel a lot better.  Since then I have employed the technique to great advantage.

I was advised not to buy regular Ginger Ale because it doesn't actually have any ginger.

Canada Dry Ginger Ale:

A sparkling favourite since 1904, Canada Dry Ginger Ale owes its distinctive taste to the 100% natural flavours, including real ginger, enjoyed in every glass.

Canada Dry says it has "real ginger" but it is not on their product label ingredient list, which is above. Maybe it is the "Natural Flavour". I do know that you can get real ginger at Whole Foods.

Wiki:
Canada Dry makes what is known as dry ginger ale. The other type is Golden Ginger Ale.
