by Venesha Johnson | Associate Writer

Jamaicans like to party and one drink that is at every party scene is the Magnum Tonic Wine. The drink is popular and is often used for its “boost” of sexual excitement. I dare say that purchasing a magnum is a lot like purchasing condoms in Jamaica, it is a clear indication that it’s time to go and “mash a works”, a Jamaican slang for having sex.

What is Magnum Tonic Wine?

It is a brand of fortified wine made in Jamaica. The beverage is supposed to improve sexual vitality and energy. Its intoxicating properties have led to a recent rise in popularity outside of Jamaica.

Magnum Kings & Queens of Dancehall

Being as connected to Dancehall culture as Magnum is, it made sense for them to be the title sponsor of "The Magnum Kings & Queens of DanceHall Competition," Jamaica's first dance hall competition to air on television. Aspiring artistes competed for the spot of King and Queen of Dancehall over weeks of competition.

During this time they were judged by established figures in the entertainment industry including artistes, producers and presenters. Magnum Tonic Wine is now known for being hip and trendy thanks to this show, which debuted in 2007. Even though the competition has since been discontinued, the company still supports dancehall culture through other events across the island.

What does Jamaican Magnum do?

Magnum Tonic Wine has added iron and vitamins that energises and lifts the spirits of individuals who consume it. Depression and anxiety may be alleviated by it. Although it's not a panacea or magic elixir, it can be beneficial if you have these symptoms. It's also not meant to take the place of treatment or medicine.

It is said that Magnum Tonic Wine increases sexual desire. It contains Vigorton 2, a sexual stimulant with a molecular composition similar to Viagra, and is usually connected to the free-swinging club scene.

Magnum Tonic Wine has 16.5 per cent alcohol by volume in each bottle. Due to its high alcohol content—triple that of American beer—the beverage is frequently connected with the club scene. Additionally, this unusually potent and intoxicating wine has routinely received five-star ratings from reviewers for both its flavour and inertness.
Herbs, mead, and tonic are all mixed in Magnum Tonic Wine.

Although it contains alcohol, it has been marketed as a healthy drink that boosts energy. The flavour has been compared to ginseng and has been characterized as syrupy-sweet; yet, it has also received criticism for lacking bitterness.

Side Effects of Magnum

Magnum Tonic Wine has a high alcohol content, therefore it's important to watch how much you consume to avoid negative side effects like alcohol poisoning. Seek medical attention immediately if you've consumed too much alcohol because doctors can give you the correct care and supervision you need to stay safe.

While there aren't many negative consequences especially related to this beverage, it's vital to be aware of the negative effects of alcohol use, which include:

  1. Vomiting- Any type of alcohol taken in excess can make you throw up since it irritates the stomach lining. Drinking too much magnum will no doubt cause the same effect.

  2. Headaches- Headaches are another potentially negative effect of Magnum Tonic Wine. This occurs because drinking alcohol causes your blood vessels to rapidly dilate and constrict, which produces headaches afterwards as your body tries to return to normal after becoming intoxicated.

  3. Drowsiness- Alcohol affects the central nervous system directly and is regarded as a depressant. When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it travels to the brain, slowing down neuronal activity. Relaxation, tiredness, and sleepiness can normally happen when neuronal firing rates decline.

  4. Distorted vision and hearing- Overindulging in Magnum Tonic Wine can result in clouded eyesight and impaired hearing. One bottle of Magnum Tonic Wine may contain enough alcohol to give some people these and other intoxication-related symptoms.

  5. Upset stomach- While a bottle of Magnum Tonic Wine is usually safe to drink if you consume too much of it or are sensitive to the alcohol content, it may give you stomach pains. Consider reducing your intake or switching to a less strong beverage if consuming magnum tonic wine causes you to experience gastrointestinal problems.

  6. Diarrhoea- The tonic wine Magnum can make you sick. It is crucial to remember that this is not a typical product side effect. The majority of users won't encounter any adverse effects at all. It is advised that you cease drinking the beverage for a few days and check to see if your symptoms improve if you do experience diarrhoea after consuming the beverage. If not, you should probably speak with your doctor or pharmacist so they can figure out what went wrong and assist you in fixing it.

  7. Slurred speech- Because drunkenness slows down the brain's ability to connect with the body, it affects the brain. Your speech will be affected since the liver does not have enough time to digest the alcohol you are drinking.

If this is going to be your first time drinking Magnum, ensure you have eaten a heavy meal, and start with small portions. The drink is sweet and very tasty so be careful not to get too excited and down the entire bottle.
