in an 8 oz fruit juice class, pour 6 oz of Elijah Craig bourbon (94 proof).
Drink the bourbon straight up in one huge gulp
Wait 20 minutes
Drink as much of the ACV you want
You may or may not remember that you have drank the bourbon, repeat the bourbon just to be safe.
As far as I can remember, this works well for me2 -
Don't drink it. Those health benefits are HIGHLY overrated.
If you insist on it, take it with a chaser of your favorite intensely flavorful beverage.
Actually that is incorrect. Drinking apple cider vinegar before a meal reduces the insulin spike that results from eating.0 -
The benefits are marginal.
But if you must, I would recommend using it in food. I tried an amazing chicken recipe once that used apple cider vinegar in the marinade.0 -
I'm skeptical of the health benefits, although oddly I find it helps with heartburn. Whatever works, works.
but am I the only one that *likes* the taste? I'll often add a pour to my water-- tap or club-- just to liven it up. mmmm0 -

How is that even possible? Apple cider vinegar is just fermented apple juice. A lot of the sugar is removed, but that doesn't mean that there isn't still sugar present.2 -
I use it for my amazing pulled pork - sprayed liberally.1

Okay i live by apple cider vinegar... I hate it but i take a shot (or 2 spoonfuls) a day just down it really fast and immediately follow with water!1

There have been countless studies on this and the results are lower blood sugar levels.

you're supposed to have an insulin spike after eating because biology
drinking ethanoic acid or any other strong acid before a meal will probably make you lose your appetite a bit and eat less, which would likely result in a smaller insulin spike.2 -

These aren't even studies. Just garbage pulled from a quick google search.
The WebMD one even states "Insufficient evidence for: Diabetes. Some preliminary research suggests that consuming vinegar or apple cider vinegar might reduce blood sugar levels after a meal."6 -

Studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes that drink a tablespoon of ACV before a meal have a significant decrease in the insulin spike.

Mercola is a well renouned quack. Maybe he has shares in apple cider vinegar.
You need to be a bit more selective in your reading. Try peer reviewed scientific journal articles.

If it were really as beneficial as some reports say - don't you think everyone would drink it? Stop drinking it, substitute it for other vinegar in your cooking and let it go at that. I'm not sure it's even edible...period.
If weight loss were really as beneficial as reports say - don't you think everyone would be losing weight?
In other words, your argument is a fallacy.
It's entirely edible. I second the recommendation for Bragg's raw with the mother. It has more of an apple taste to it than the pasteurized/conventional stuff.
Acetic acid, the acid in ACV, actually has potent antiglycemic and antimicrobial effects, both of which have been known and studied for some time now. Acetic acid is even prescribed for outer ear infections. Works great for heartburn, too, depending on the underlying cause (I know, counterinuitive, but it really does, because not all heartburn is caused by too much stomach acid). Also works great as a fabric softener, hair conditioner, all-purpose household cleaner, and for removing various skin blemishes like moles and skin tags.
Oh, and to answer your question -- more people don't drink it, because societal norms have shifted toward shunning natural remedies in favor of pharmaceuticals, even when the pharmaceuticals are using the very natural remedies that the layman shuns (ie - the acetic acid ear drops for ear infections). Just like how more people don't eat organ meat anymore, even though doing so can supply you with more Vitamin A, Iron, and other nutrients than most other "nutrient powerhouse" foods can even dream of supplying.

My gramma swears by ACV for her arthritis and for weight loss. Maybe because it tastes terrible? LOL!!!
The only thing I use ACV is for my dogs, I put it in their water (about 1/3 cup to 4 gallons). I also dilute it in a spray bottle and mist them after their baths. It's great for repelling fleas & ticks.
If anything I would just cook with it, and just stick with drinking plain ol' H2O!0 -

based on what scientific studies? Could you link them so I could review please?1 -

Except...it pretty much cured my husband's acid reflux.
He had horrible acid reflux and started taking acv whenever it flared up. Not only did it help almost instantly, after a few months the problem went away and now only flares up on occasion (ie, pizza night. lol.)
AND this was several years ago.
You can dilute acv with water and add stevia & ginger to make a very yummy refreshing drink.0 -

Link me to these studies i.e. published in peer reviewed journal articles. No mercola or alternative daily.
Also, what's in apple cider vinegar that's not in malt vinegar or red wine vinegar that has this effect?1 -
What If You Mixed It With A Milkshake That Would Be Good0

I've heard a lot of health benefits of apple cider vinegar but WOW does it taste awful. I tried mixing a few tbsps with a cup of water and plugging my nose to drink it but nearly vomited. I'm thinking of trying some tomorrow with water, lemon juice and splenda, but I'm not sure even that will be okay. Any suggestions? Preferably not juice or something because I want it as low cal as possible, thanks!
ACV is available in capsule form so you get the benefits without the taste. I personally don't mind the taste on salads but also take 2 capsules daily. Honey would be a better choice than splenda too not only for taste but health benefits. ACV is acidic so lemon juice which is also acidic is not the best choice for flavour either.0
