Which Tonic water has the highest percentage of quinine?

I noticed the grocery store tonic water doesn't say how much quinine is in it. I am still curious which one has the highest percentage if anyone knows. Also it has to be non diet.

Update:

That's a good answer Mike, but what I really would like to know is which brand is the strongest one available at the grocery store.

    The US Food and Drug Administration limits the quinine content in tonic water to 83 ppm (83 mg per liter if calculated by mass), which is one-half to one-quarter the concentration used in therapeutic tonic.

    Quinine is used to reduce the symptoms of malaria.
