Care for a glass of drugs with your drugs?

It seems like nothing is safe to eat or drink nowadays. After reading the Skinny Bitch book for my book club, it made me want to cut down on my intake of red meat and poultry.

Now, I'm thinking, I probably should stay away from tap water unless I feel like having some yummy mood stabilizers or sex hormones with my meal. Article here. A vast array of pharmaceuticals have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans. Wow, this is sure comforting. Apparently the presence of so many prescription drugs in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health. Faaaaabulous. Great news, right?!?!

Now, we won't have to pay for our medications. Free drugs! Of course....we don't get to "choose" our prescription medications in this scenario either. So, the next time you have strep throat...just drink a nice tall glass of tap water...and...there may be a .000003% chance you'll get the right stuff in there to cure it right up. Thank goodness for contaminated water! Drink up kids.
