Ginger Ale was invented by a doctor. It was used for and upset stomach. The way it was prescribed was to drink at room temperature. However I would be remiss if I did not tell you that any carbonated beverage is very bad for humans because it neutralizes your stomach acid. You need the acid to absorb the nutrients in your food.

Ginger, the spice itself, has long been renowned for its quality of soothing an upset stomach...so ginger ale, which contains ginger, or used to anyway, is a good choice for someone with this problem. I like it and find that it's not quite as sweet as Sprite, which tends to make me want to yak even more when I'm sick. lol

because ginger has been proven as a good enzyme to help fight against heart disease,,, and cancer of the liver,,, the carbination is mild so its not upsetting to the stomach,,, kinda like the fine wine of pops,,,,
