Is there any chance of them adding lime cordial to the water supply? I find water a bit bland, and a little flavour would really do the trick.

one major flaw in that idea is if your allergic to lithium you wont be able to drink tap water.

also wouldn't it screw up the development of unborn babies and new borns?

without a detailed scientific research adding lithium into the water supply could open up a huge can of worms when it comes to how babies develop

A bipolar friend of mine once took a double dose of lithium by mistake and it wasn't ****ing funny! This is a heavy duty drug and even a tiny bit extra for the sizable number of people already taking it could be a very bad thing. Or would they just have to stop drinking tap water?

Doctors are notorious for self medicating. This guy probably thinks it's like asprin. incidentally: Physicians have had the highest suicide rate compared to people in any other line of work.

While activated charcoal works well on most poison substances, it does not work well on substances such as lithium, strong acids and bases, metals or minerals like sodium, iron, lead, arsenic, iodine, fluorine or boric acid.
