As if women didn’t have enough to worry about, now the news is that frequent drinking from water bottles could cause “water lips.” Water lips you say? Sounds moist, supple, like a good thing, or so you’d think. But in a key and ominous quote:

“…one doctor says drinking bottled water could actually be like smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.”

At least for the tiny wrinkles around your mouth. Apparently the constant pursing of your lips to sip from the nozzle or straw on the bottle causes the wrinkles. Your mother was right after all, your face will freeze that way. One could also assume that excessive kissing would have the same result, but curiously, that doesn’t seem to be a common diagnosis. Pity.

This is yet further evidence that draft beer is the healthy beverage choice.
