Shelly, that is so disgusting! I don't drink nearly enough water as it is, but that makes me want to drink NONE!
So let me get this straight...people pee the chemicals into the water, then we drink them? Lovely.No wonder everyone in Boulder, where my brother lives, looks so happy all the time. They're all drinking each other's drug pee.
I think I heard about this somehow a few months ago, associated with some statistic about fertility levels in men dropping, theoretically because of birth control hormones in drinking water. In my neighborhood (town) we get friendly reminders from our city water people every few months (especially in spring), telling us "ooops, we're bound by law to tell you that we've recently missed the mark in state water standards again." Apparently there's a lot of farm runoff that befouls the River Raisin, our water source.
I buy bottled water now, after getting the first half-dozen of these notices.
Ha! Koe--that's hilarious. And no, according to the article filtering doesn't make a difference. It also says some bottled water is tainted.I had the same initial reaction (after I realized it wasn't the government that placed the pharms in the water)--maybe a little mood altering drugs wouldn't be so bad for me?? Then I got mad, b/c my mood's not any better from drinking water everyday!
The article cites Austin as one of a few cities tested thats water wasn't contaminated. This makes no sense to me. You can't throw a rock in this town w/o hitting somebody medicated--legally or otherwise!? My guess is that the city's testers were f'ed up when they read results.

I drink bottled water. I can't stand the taste of tap water.
Cali. water (and Lubbock, TX.) has to be the worst water I have ever tasted!!
Out at my folks they have well water, meanwhile pop and my brothers piss in the yard because they are too lazy to come in the house. Uh, doesn't that hit the water table and in turn the well? No wonder Drew claims the water out there gives him the shits!

Two of my pals went round the world and swore that they would only drink bottled water in India. They immediately came down with a bad stomach bug. They discovered that the place they bought their bottled water used recycled Evian bottles and filled them up from the tap. Such is life. Anyway, as we now know, bottled water is immoralhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main...
If anyone would have told you 20 years ago that you were going to pay for water in a bottle, what would you have said to them?
