News that pharmaceuticals were found in the drinking water of 24 major cities has concerned citizens searching the Web for more information. Where to? Most searches start at the EPA. Some people just give up the tap and drink bottled water. But we all still want to know this: How did the drugs get there in the first place? The lineup of controlled substances in our pharma-laced "agua" says a little something about our, er, drug habits. Just what was found flowing from the faucet? Mood stabilizers; Sex hormones; Antibacterials.
