Re: [71attendees] Don't drink the water? count me in as a beer-festival fan!

And before you grab a couple of bottles of water and consider yourself  
safe, from the same article: "Even users of bottled water and home  
filtration systems don't necessarily avoid exposure. Bottlers, some of  
which simply repackage tap water, do not typically treat or test for  
pharmaceuticals, according to the industry's main trade group."

The article doesn't mention beer but at least it's more fun.  (Not so  
great for brushing your teeth though.)
