when you have the flu? I have been drinking tons of it today and I have to admit it does seem to help. But does anyone know why?

Ginger has long been used to settle an upset stomach, and doctors always recommend that you drink plenty of fluids when you're sick and feverish. Ginger ale fills the bill on two counts. You might also like to try some candied ginger slices. They're much stronger, and I like them.

Right on! Ginger ale is the best and as I think has already been posted, it is the ginger. But ginger in its natural form is much better.
Also, if you are feeling nauseous, try stirring out the bubbles before you drink it. More carbonation in your stomach won't help settle it, so either ginger ale or coke, stirred (not shaken) is good for an upset stomach too!

The combination of the Ginger and the carbonation are great for the flu.

The ginger ,as everyone has stated. Still the best thing to do is to make a tea of one tablespoon Ginger to a cup of warm water and drink it. You will enjoy immediate results. GOOD QUESTION!!!

Anything with ginger will make you feel better. It is the ginger itself! Ginger ale or eating ginger snaps will calm a belly and help with nausea, vomiting, motion sickness, etc.

Becuase of the ginger that is in it. Ginger is a natural way that has been used for centirues to ease discomfort.

Ginger and mint naturally settle an upset stomach. just like lemon and honey can naturally soothe a throat. Why- don't know that would be the chemistry of the plants. carbonation of the pop can help an upset stomach too.
