About Ginger Ale
Ginger ale is a soft drink flavored with ginger. Brands in North America include Canada Dry, Vernors, Seagram's, Schweppes, Sussex, Buffalo Rock, Ale-8-One, Blenheim Ginger Ale, and Reed's. It is popular for mixing drinks such as making a cocktail.
Ginger ale is often used as a home remedy for upset stomachs, ginger ale contains a very high level of sugar, which can cause an osmotic charge that can affect the bowels more than the desired effect of the ginger. It is sometimes used as a non-alcoholic substitute for champagne, since both beverages resemble each other in appearance. Ginger ale is used to prevent or alleviate motion sickness.
