Deprived of any sensible answer I have had to look it up.
Horlicks is Soylent Green!
Also it was originally baby milk - for babies not made of babies. No, made of babies.
Then it was weird stuff that explorers and soldiers lived on. Like Slimfast.

LOL! Then it was little choclatey discs that were marketed so that kids could sneak them in class. Sneaky.
Then it was a treatment for gastric ulcers.
It's all things to all people.
In India it's "The Great Family Nourisher" with special versions for children and breast-feeding mothers. In Hong Kong it's a fancy drink, you can have it cold over ice.
In the UK it's a sleeping elixir while being an energy drink for polar explorers.
Anyone getting the feeling that it's some kind of tool for the Lizards to control us? They are probably controlling every little thing the Horlicks drinkers do and say. That would explain a lot of Alph's posts.

It's fuel for Gunslingers!  Look. This excerpt from the forthcoming Stephen King novel proves it... Five slow-muties zeroed in on the Gunslinger in the semi-darkness, his hands were a blur as he drew the big revolvers from their holsters and began blasting holes in the unfortunate abominations, the fifth one was dead before the first had even hit the floor...his hands, killers hands, did their reloading trick before he re-holstered the lethal engines of destruction...."just time for a mug of Horlicks before storming the Crimson King's fortress" he thought to himself...See!

When the rain eases, I'm going to buy some and then keep you all informed of how much I drink and when. You will all be under moral obligation to chart the effects on me. This could be the greatest scandal uncovered since I discovered that Freddie Mercury was gay (about a week after he died).
Horlixgate.

Explorers live on "Slimfast"? I thought you were supposed to "Bulk Up" when exploring, cos you burn so many calories!? Not "Slim fast!" Mum used to tell a story where their jar of Horlicks had gone hard, so they broke into it and chipped bits off every now and then. She told us this when they actually brought out "Horlicks Sweets" I haven't seen those for ages though. "Soylent Green" - Isn't that where they play the World Darts?  |

Except the explorers of course.

Well, Best Beloved put on Terminator 3 for the umpteenth time in ages and we finished up that second bottle - but still feeling dreadfully thirsty!
So, cup of tea and bed it is!
Night night!
