1. Be careful not to overdose on that stuff
like, if you were to take six or seven litres a day, that would probably be bad.

2. admitting your addiction is the first step
but you can't beat it alone. :hi:
I'm hooked too, but I've learned to control it :hi:

3. yes, replace 10% of your dihydrogen monoxide consumption
with hydroxyethane. If it gets worse, up it to 20%.

8. It's not "dihydrogen monoxide"
If you leave water hanging around you get a certain amount of

H2O ? H+ + OH-

…thus by convention we would name the substance by the ions, so it would properly be called "hydrogen hydroxide."

12. And (of course) the opposing view...

Don't let an uneducated and terror-stricken mob of fanatics railroad you into giving up your right to choose!

Support the use and distribution of hydrogen hydroxide in your neighborhood, city, state, and country!
