Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd rather mix water
and booze half and half than drink the krud we get out
of our taps today. If our water had booze in it, more
people would drink more water, meaning fewer bladder
infections and fewer kidney stones. I have known
people who would probably put away a six pack of tap
water every day. I, of course, would be much more
abstemious.

Let's face it, chlorine and flouride are not only
unhealthy, but they don't put a smile on your face.
