A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows..."

Let the Moopish Wisdom prophets re-speak:
"I must have a drink of breakfast. W. C. Fields
I never drink water, fish f*&(*%k in it. W. C. Fields
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes. W. C. Fields
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming. W. C. Fields
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull. W. C. Fields
Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. W. C. Fields
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream. W. C. Fields, and I'll be sober tomorrow, but you'll be crazy for the rest of your life." W. C. Fields
In conclusion refer to the AP article... [this about covers the regional identifiers]
"New York City: Heart medication, infection fighters, estrogen, anti-convulsants, a mood stabilizer and a tranquilizer... "New Orleans: Pain reliever naproxen, sex hormone estrone and the byproduct of an anti-cholesterol drug... "Southern California Watershed: Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications... "Washington, D.C.: Six pharmaceuticals... "Northern New Jersey: Metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing drug carbamazepine... "Upstate New York Watershed: Caffeine... "San Francisco: Sex hormone..."
"...Tests were conducted in 35 of 62 major U.S. watersheds, the natural sources of most of the nation's water supply. Pharmaceuticals were detected in 28 of them." (AP; Mar 10, 2008)
"We know we are being exposed to other people's drugs through our drinking water, and that can't be good," says Dr. David Carpenter, who directs the Institute for Health and the Environment of the State University of New York at Albany."

Dr. David Carpenter is a plagiarist.
"We know we are being exposed to other people's drugs."-Duane Allman backstage at the Rock Island Armory, 1970
Thanks Pribe-- for the catch... Moopig stands behind its constructive criticisms... Duane was really king.
"... I'd been talking about Duane Allman because I'd heard him play on Wilson Picketts' recording of "Hey Jude" and kept asking people who he was ... so Tom Doud took me and all the rest of the Dominoes to see the Allman Brothers play in Coconut Grove and introduced us ... I said "let's hang out - come back to the studio"... we just jammed and hung out ... I kept him there, I kept thinking up ways to keep him in the room ... "Key to the Highway", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" are first or second takes ... then I'd quickly think of something else to keep him there. I knew sooner or later he was going to go back to the Allmans, but I wanted to steal him ! I tried, and he actually came on a few gigs, too ... but then he had to say, almost like a woman, "Well, you know I am actually married to the Allman Brothers Band and I can't stay with you" - I was really quite heartbroken ! - I'd got really used to him, and after that I felt like I had to have another guitar player. I had Neal Schon come in for a little while, having met him through Carlos Santana, but by that time ... Derek and the Dominoes were on it's way out" - Eric Clapton / Yardbirds / Blues Breakers /Cream / Blind Faith / Derek and the Dominoes
