Grapefruit are not for fun, they are for unpredictably increasing the potency of your medication!

Or, as a friend of mine found out the hard way, decreasing the potency of your birth control
And increase the potency of opiates... They block the enzymes needed to break down opiates.
They also make anxiety and depression meds unpredictable
Antibiotics have a similar effect. Some? All? Who knows.
Doesn't seem like it's been very thoroughly researched. Better safe than sorry.

Don't forget, increasing the harm alcohol does to your liver!
Grapefruit, I love them. I take so much medicine that I can't really have them anymore.
My wife has the palate for fresh grapefruits. I can only drink the juice. Preferably in a greyhound.
Why do you have to be on a bus to drink it?
Because my dog hates flying
Stop drinking grapefruit juice out of your dog. It can't be good for either one of you.
Tequila reposado, grapefruit juice, triple sec (4:4:1) for me. I'm not aware that this has an established name.
I wish good tequila was easier to find in the UK. You kinda just learn to love gin, here.
I have to buy most of my stuff online, too ... in German supermarkets you won't even find a 100% agave tequila, and I've never seen a dedicated liquor store that doesn't narrowly focus on whisky. AFAIK UK liquor stores/supermarkets have pretty good availability for interesting rum, meanwhile everything that's available in that category here in Germany bores me out of my mind (pretty much exclusively spanish-heritage aged rum, plus some spiced rum).
Our online liquor retailers have an awesome selection and even with shipping they're usually cheaper than physical stores if you buy at least two or three bottles at a time!
I'll have to give it a go, after the lockdowns I fell out of the habit of getting my liquor online. It was nice tbh
I used to love grapefruit, more than any other citrus fruit. Then I learned about pomelos. I still generally like grapefruit, but don't get them so much anymore because they always seem vaguely disappointing by comparison.
I don't need a husband to have a whole ass unsugared grapefruit by myself ;)
Finally someone gets it, never could enjoy the flavor of a grapefruit.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAA
