However tonic water has so little quinine,that you'd have to drink about 50-60 bottles in a single day to have any serious side effects. It is not stored in body, so you don't have to worry about accumulation over time. You only have to be careful if you have severe kidney problems or if you're pregnant.<br><b>References : </b><br> Theoretically, you can overdose on quinine, and it can have serious side effects, including pulmonary edema and heart problems.

If you were to consume a ridiculous amount of quinine in pure form you could cause hemolysis which is when your red blood cells burst. But this is very very rare.<br><b>References : </b><br> Quinine is helpful in some cases, but in normal amounts would not do anything to you.
