Hmmm, that's all we use for drinking water, & have never gotten sick, but
out here in the desert, our water is pretty clean?  Maybe I should rinse out
the tank, get it tested? Or practice syphoning?

Yes, it is hard to get enuf brewskis, etc. in the fridge, so I just use it
for limes, cocktail olives, etc.

Not having water would be crippling to moi!  What would I mix w/ the scotch?
