Frequent drinking from water bottles could cause "water lips"

[Roon]

WASHINGTON - Water is touted by many as the world's healthiest drink.

Some call it the secret to losing weight; others say it can be cure-all for things like dry skin, hair and nails, but one doctor says drinking bottled water could actually be like smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.

According to D.C. dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Berzin, dozens of women have come in puzzled by lines and wrinkles around their lips.

It's a condition termed "smoker's lips" because of the similar pattern of wrinkles found on the faces of long-term, heavy smokers.

Did you see the picture with the article?

It looked like she was sucking on a nipple.
That alone should be a good reason not to drink from those strange bottles.
The comments following the article were great.
