VB has quite a few medicinal properties. It's good for curing sleep disorders, relieves constapation, breaks down social inhibitions, opens up negotiations between differing political or religeous ideals (normally the patients words are a bit hard to understand at this stage).
It does have some side effects: It affects hand eye co-ordination and consumptions of large quantities can cause severe headaches and a feeling of nausea (usually the morning after taking the medication).
It can be used externally but this often happens later in the evening once the patent is having significant hand eye coordiation difficulties.
Vic Bitter is a wonderful tonic and is often called Vitamin B by it's regular drinkers.
