"“If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”

Next the EU will probably try to legislate the exact value of pi and the exponential constant e. Perhaps they'll start with the square root of the number two first. Can't have those messy irrational numbers screwing up the EU's utopian, perfectly ordered world.

Recent studies indicate:

Scotch over ice may cause heart problems;
Vodka over ice may cause liver problems;
Gin over ice may cause brain problems;
Rum over ice may cause kidney problems;
Whiskey over ice may cause stomach problems;

Statistically speaking, problems are being caused by something in ice.

3 year study said water does not hydrate.

It must have been an old fashion concept - That's why people and animals never suffer from thirst anymore.

Actually beer will dehydrate a person. The alcohol tends to cause a diuresis with the kidneys removing proportionally more water from the body than alcohol. Thus, after a drinking bindge people are very thirsty, after they stop throwing up the next morning, curled up like a fox around the porcelin commode, calling dinosaurs as they puke their guts out. That is what I have read about such a condition.

I remember reading an article about how dentists were complaining that people were drinking too much bottled water which caused serious dental problems. Not enough minerals in certain types of bottled water. I guess natural spring water might have them but filtered bottle water? Not too sure.

I know a guy who worked with nuke reactors. The primary cooling loop used ultra pure water. Someone he worked with decided he liked drinking the stuff.

Mmmm, reactor water.

Scotch....same effect, in spades. But, as you puke you can take solice in the fact that you do so with a modicum of class, as you hurl chunks through your nostrils.....if you induldge too much.

I thought you needed electrolytes in water to hydrate. Water alone (filtered bottle water has all minerals removed) doesn’t have enough. Wasn’t that the reason GatorAide was developed for athletes?

Bottled water does NOT have all minerals removed, that would be distilled water. Never the less, water alone, just H2O, hydrates. That is what it does.

Electrolytes may need to be replenished, or not, but they can come from food. I defy you to survive on powdered GatorAide for 2 days, without water.

For what legal purpose would the EU do this? Commodification of water?
