I’ve never used the copper mug I got in my BOC, but I’m sure others here have. Be careful what you put in it.

Or just don’t drink a Moscow Mule every day- that’s probably worse for you.

How much of this could be blamed on dihydrogen monoxide? And how much more could be blamed on the goat?

- @narfcake Dihydrogen monoxide kills thousands every year. Something must be done. I agree that goat-blame may be called-for.

- @narfcake The latest news on killer dihydrogen monoxide research:
  Through a very complicated process (which I won’t go into here due to it’s complexity) using advanced fancy machinery
  
  They are now able to convert this deadly substance into a healthy product! Adding healthy grains and other items, the end result is something called Beer.
  
  I really think this is the only answer to this problem.

Many are lined so the acidic drink doesn’t come in contact with copper.

Am I the only one who finds it funny that Mr Glass is disparaging Mugs. I wonder what Mr Mug has to say about Mr Glass
