Heheheh, had a similar conversation mith my doc' first time I got them.
It seems I produce 'dust' ... every so often my kidney has a hiccup and
i have about six months where I'm occasionally bent double for no
apparent reason (steady on BGN) other than I have excruciating pain,
which obviously no-one else can see so pass it off as hysterics or
something. No real reason for it other than "It's probably genetic",
which doesn't give me great confidence, and that "when it happens
again, as it will, just more fluids than usual and painkillers as
necessary!
It also seems Newcastle Brown is 'a good thing' ... ;)

I had my stone when I was drinking little else but coffee and real ale. The
latter can contain the oxalates that are a major constituent of kidney
stones. I imagine the hydration-dehydration-rehydration cycle associated
with ale drinking didn't help either.
I haven't had one since. My fluid intake, for the last decade has been much
more varied. Fruit juice with breakfast; half the number of coffees per
day; a litre or two of squosh during the day; ale perhaps twice a week and
then 3x500ml bottles rather than 8 pints in the pub; plus lots of wine.

I like G&Ts but wouldn't heep a bottle of gin in the house. It would
disappear at a similar rate to port, which is not a good thing.
Hence, I have not conducted a long term trial. I suspect, as the gin &
tonic water do not contain many dissolved minerals, that they will be good
flushing agents. The lemon or lime will provide antioxidants which are
surely a good thing?

Well, I've got a lime now. It was free from the market stall I just
visited. The errant lime rolled off a stack and attacked the server. She
said, "you can have that bloody thing," and popped it in the bag with my
nectarines.
So, all I need to do now is pop down to the offie and try to engineer the
same thing with a bottle of gin...

You could have told me that back in 1980!
Since we were struggling to get the Interferometer ready in time, I
didn't spend any time at AntDiv head office in Melbourne before we left, so
I didn't pick up on any helpful hints -- like the seasickness pills you
have to start taking several days in advance as they take that long to
start working...

We used to make jugs of Harvey Wallbanger down South. Take jug.
Add one bottle vodka and one bottle Galliano. On a good day we could
squeeze a couple of ounces of OJ in as well...

That brings back memories of Xmas parties at a field studies centre
<checks> Blimey it is still going http://www.caerllan.co.uk/ and owned by
the same family. There's no mention of the eldest son who I went to school
with. I wonder if the family has kissed & made up since the incident...
Anyway, I digress. The host used to greet people at the door with a Harvey
Wallbanger, made in 2 gallon buckets. Such an innocuous looking drink, if
you make room for some OJ.

Ditto.
My normal food/drink routine is safe in that I've not had any kidney
stones (yet) so here's a sample:
06:30 cup of coffee before leaving hotel
07:15 another cup of coffee before morning meeting
07:45 another cup of coffee after morning meeting
10:00 Sausage, bacon, fried egg, slice of toast and another coffee
12:30 Canteen dinner to include a 'pudding'. Another cup of coffee
16:00 Another cup of coffee
19:00 another cup of coffee while we have the evening meeting
21:30 A couple of pints of Stella
Pile in with a few roll ups plus snacks such as packets of crisps and
the occasional cake and you've got the staple diet of a power station
outage manager.
I tend to stop at the nearest supermarket to grab a sandwich and a
couple of sausage rolls or similar on my way back to the hotel at
about 20:00 but what I buy depends on how hungry I feel so doesn't
count. I've also got the Stella sorted in that the barman gives me
beer on a buy one get one free basis and only beer purchased counts
when it comes to weekly booze intake.

A shish kebab is fairly healthy, if you munch the salad, I would think.
Aren't curries supposed to be relatively healthy? I suppose it depends on
how much butter is in the sauce and the quantity of lager concomitantly
consumed.
