Pregnant women should steer clear of quinine-containing beverages!
BfR believes labelling is needed
The information "contains quinine" is stated on every tonic or bitter lemon beverage. But only few consumers will know why. Even if the enjoyment of quinine-containing beverages is not problematic for most of the population, the consumption of larger amounts can be harmful for some individuals. "Pregnant women, in particular, should refrain from consuming this substance for precautionary reasons", says BfR President Professor Dr. Dr. Andreas Hensel. People who have been advised against quinine because of a specific clinical picture or an oversensitivity to cinchona alkaloids, should avoid quinine-containing beverages. In order to raise awareness amongst consumers about possible risks, BfR recommends that the previous labelling be extended to include specific information for pregnant women and other specific target groups.

For those who enjoy gin and tonics, a juniper and tonic is a non-alcoholic drink option. This drink is made from juniper berries, tonic water, lime juice, and lime slices for garnish.

Yeah, you can. Some people have a bad reaction to the quinine in tonic water, but this is rare and if you were one of the people who had a reaction to it, it would affect you whether coumadin was involved or not.
