How many times has someone else drunk the water you are drinking?

[joeisgreat64]

I know this is a very tough question and would not be surprised if you did not know it ut if you do then please say :)

[joeisgreat64]

I mean like if someone drinks it then pours some away then its purified etc then travel out the tap to you.

none - mine comes directly from a reservoir

you mean after it's been recycled? In, out as wee, In, out as week, In...

[Bbbananas]

that didn't make sense. didn't mean to put week - meant to be wee again.

our bodies are two thirds water anyway so however many people have drunk it b4 its the same stuff we are made of ...isn't it?

This is a random fact I remember from college, don't know how accurate it is: 7 times

it gets recycled (as in urine) and then used again. I guess it must happen quite a lot otherwise we would just run out of water!

actually I have a similar question what happens if someone -breaks wind and you breathe it in -do you breathe it out all over someone else or does your body store it ! ! !
I have had a very believable answer from a doctor -But

There's only so much water on the planet. It washes away, it evaporates, it rises to form clouds, it falls as rain, the cycle starts again. Every drop of water has been drunk exactly 23 billionty gazillion times. Bit late to start worrying now.

I suggest you don't go round saying, "you just drank my water, please can I have it back"..............
