The Most Bizarre Drinks Victorians Actually Consumed | Boring History For Sleep

Tonight’s story invites you to sip your way through the strangest corners of Victorian life, where even a glass of lemonade or a tonic could hide chalk, lead, or worse. As you listen, you’ll find the steady rhythm lulling you into deep, restorative sleep. And when morning comes, you’ll carry with you a fascinating glimpse into the odd concoctions Victorians trusted for health, beauty, and survival. Beyond relaxation, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the clean, simple drinks of today—and a curious sense of wonder about how people once drank their way through daily life with courage, conviction, and sometimes, outright delusion. #boringhistoryforsleep #history #sleep #storiesforsleep #sleepandhistory ________________________________________ Timestamps 00:00 - Powders, Pearls, and Chalky Wines 39:19 - Scandals in Milk, Lemonade, and Beer 1:18:55 - Tonics, Elixirs, and Poisonous Beauties 1:59:20 - From Beef Tea to Toast Water: Survival in a Cup ________________________________________ Sources 1.
