No - tonic water is used as a 'mixer' in alcoholic drinks to add volume. There is no alcohol in tonic water - it's simply water with carbon-dioxide gas added (which is why it's fizzy)
The correct spelling is Schweppes Tonic Water. There are many people that also refer to the product as Schweppes Indian Tonic Water.
Schweppes ginger ale is a non-alcoholic mixer that is commonly used in alcoholic drinks. It is carbonated, flavored water. This drink has the same amount of alcohol in it as Coca-Cola does.
Tonic Water In Fact is non- alcoholic. It can be when mixed with alcoholic mixes such as vodka,wine,or beer. Tonic Water is not water made really for drinking plainly purposes. It is made to be mixed with alcoholic beverages. Hope this answered your question?
Yes, in the UK (04.07.08). The bottle is a 1 litre, light pink/clear colour with the same design cues as the Indian Tonic Water Lemon Zest. The actual name is Schweppes Russchian. As for other countries, I don't know if it is available there or not. Schweppes Russchian is only available in Europe, (in the UK it is generally marketed as Tonic Water with Russchian) and is still a best seller in Scandinavian countries (20/12/08).
Actually the Schweppes company offers several different products. Some examples include "American Ginger Ale", "Indian Tonic Water", "Original Bitter Lemon" or "Fruity Citrus / Fruity Lemon".
Probably at any liquor store. Some grocery stores carry it.

Gin & Tonic
Looking at the ingredients list, I can see that it contains: Carbonated Water, Sugar, Lemon Juice from Concentrate (2%), Citric Acid, Flavourings, Acidity Regulator (E331), Sweeteners (Aspartame, Sodium Saccharin), Preservative (E202), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid). Also contains a source of Phenylalanine. So no alcohol! Although, it is used as a mixer in a wide variety of alcoholic beverages such as the Blue Lagoon (yum!).
As good as it gets. The first carbonated drink was Schweppes Tonic which was developed so that people could drink quinine as medicine in spite of its bitter taste. You can formulate bitter soft drinks without quinine but you may not be able to call them tonics depending on local legislation. Without quinine you also loss the slight blue phosphorescence of tonic water.
For those who enjoy gin and tonics, a juniper and tonic is a non-alcoholic drink option. This drink is made from juniper berries, tonic water, lime juice, and lime slices for garnish.
Yes, in naturally sweetened tonic water. No, in artificially sweetened tonic water.
