I make my own from scratch.................

1. Go out and drink beer.
2. Go home and take a shower.
3. Pee in the shower.
4. Go out and drink recycled shower water.

And nobody noticed... sez alot about the swill usually consumed.

Make your own, you’ll be glad you did.

I did a little growing up in the northwest and I remember the parents either drinking Rainier Beer or Oly.

Years later I get in the military and I get stationed out on the west coast and I am went and bought a six pack of Oly and it wasn’t all that good.

I think Hamms or Stroth’s was a better Brew, but then - I’m not much of a beer enthusiast anyway.

Tastes kinda like Willie Brown? Horizontal would know.

In the same vein, I remember in one of my mechanical engineering courses we had to calculate the number of air molecules breathed by Jesus in each breath you take. It was a fascinating problem (and you can find solutions to it all over the web today, unlike in 1972).

I grew up in upstate NY and then high school and college in Missouri. After that I went to California, discovered Anchor Steam Beer, and never looked back. It was like discovering sourdough bread in San Fran for the first time, too.

Headline is more correct. They made beer.
Headline: California company turns recycled shower, sink water into beer

Really?

• "California company turns recycled shower, sink water into beer." Hmmm...using magic?
• Beer is more than water. So...what water did they use to make their beer?
• They used purified shower and sink water to make beer.

“They used purified shower and sink water to make beer.”

Hmmm...using magic?

Beer is more than water.

[Dave911]

That’s disgusting!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Our local water source is downriver from wastewater treatment...

I wouldn't drink it, unless I distilled it. (fluoride, chloroform, chlorine etc)

You can buy a home water distiller, or make one from a stovetop pressure cooker and some tubing.

[Red Badger]

That’s CALIFORNIA!......................

[mewzilla]

Then the question becomes do you trust the recycler....

[Tax-chick]

The beer might be good or bad (I don’t like beer, so it’s all bad to me), but darn it, there’s nothing wrong with treated wastewater.

[Carriage Hill]

Yes, THAT!

They can take dirty dish water, soapy washing machine water, water from people masturbating in the shower or washing their asses and balls, douche water, and piss, and run it through a reverse osmosis water filter where it comes out as pure clean water, and it would be just fine for drinking. Telling people where they got it is enough to stop them from getting anywhere near it. Except for some people who are going to relish the idea and you want to stay as far away from them as possible.

LOL !
