Man, cocaine is a hell of a drug. Apparently, our neighbors across the pond snort so much of it that it has contaminated their water supply.

Man, cocaine is a hell of a drug. Apparently, our neighbors across the pond snort so much of it that it has contaminated their water supply.

The finding comes from a recent initiative to assess the dangers from pharmaceutical compounds appearing in British drinking water. An investigation of these compounds revealed traces of cocaine in the water supply, even after it had gone through intensive purification treatments. This, is part, explains Russell Brand.

Experts from the Drinking Water Inspectorate found the water contained benzoylecgonine, the metabolized form of coke that appears only when it has passed through your slammin' hot kidneys and urethra. It's the same compound that your boss looked for when he drug tested you at work after that whole "photocopier incident," which we promised you we wouldn't talk about.

England has one of the highest cocaine use rates in Europe, and the stuff has been getting cheaper and cheaper as more Britons realize that it can make them finish their TPS reports in 15 minutes flat.

But how bad is the cocaine-in-my-ice-water problem? The report claimed that "Estimated exposures for most of the detected compounds are at least thousands of times below doses seen to produce adverse effects in animals and hundreds of thousands below human therapeutic doses." Well, I guess we're going to be drinking a lot more water then.

Jesus, you guys. Get a Brita. It's just one letter away from Britan, so it's practically a patriotic gesture.
