Vitameatavegamin

The title refers to the alleged health drink that Lucy does a commercial for on I Love Lucy that contains 23% alcohol.

I wonder if the beverage contained all the vitamins I am supposed to take if that would cancel out the booze factor and therefore be totally worth it. I take 8 pills a day: two prenatal vitamins (1 vitamin tablet plus and 1 softgel with 275 mg of DHA), two pills with 500 mg of calcium apiece, three fibertabs, and the most recent addition, one Ferrosequel. Ferrosequel is code for evil iron pill which contains 277% of the RDA of iron.

So just to review the final tally of what the nutritional count of my eight pills a day is (which doesn't even count the occasional, very necessary Zantac 75, thank you very much Boehringer Ingelheim. Whoever invented that stuff deserves a freakin Nobel Prize):

Vitamin A: 3,000 IU, Vitamin C: 120 mg, Vitamin D: 400 IU, E: 30 mg, B1: 1.8 mg, B2: 4 mg, Niacinamide: 20 mg, B6: 25 mg, Folic Acid: 1 mg, B12: 12 mcg, Calcium: 1620 mg, Iron: 79 mg, Magnesium: 55 mg, Zinc: 25 mg, Copper: 2 mg and a partridge in a pear tree. And an IU measures the potency of a drug, not its mass or weight, which is not helpful.
