Those Nalgene Bottles Will Kill You

As many of you know, here at The Life of Drew, we are a very trusted and legitimate news source for many across the Northwest.  We take pride in this.  And so we get our news leads from only the absolute best in the business.  We accept no substitutes.  Meet Mr. Brian Williams of NBC News.  He is considered one of the best in the biz.  We consider Brian a close friend actually.  After his nightly broadcast tonight, he texted me and told me to go and check out the facts about Nalgene water bottles.
And here's what we found.  Nalgene water bottles will freaking kill you.
So I don't know the first thing about Nalgene (and other companies, mind you) water bottles.  They have become the hip and trendy thing these days.  Something about saving the environment by not using paper cups day after day and wasting blah blah blah.  Personally, I love paper cups and use as many paper cups as is humanly possible every day.  
So to sum this all up: if you try and help save the environment by drinking from these Nalgene bottles everyday, it just might kill you.  Is that the thanks we get for trying to be more Earth-conscious?  Count me out of that group.  I'll be happy and alive drinking from my disposable paper cups, thank you very much.
