I have been to Colorado. Wouldn't the water Coors use flow towards Kansas as opposed to towards the west?
Some talk of AZ came up and I think the AZ water would come from the west side of the Rockies, not the east side.
Americans flush 6.8 billion gallons of water down their toilets every day.

- In Colorado, the Rocky Mountains create the headwaters for 4 regional watersheds that eventually supply water to some 19 Western states. Those 4 regional watersheds are the Arkansas, Colorado, Rio Grande and Missouri (South Platte).
- There are 8 major basins that are designated by the state of Colorado and represented by roundtables: Arkansas Basin, Colorado Basin, Gunnison Basin, Metro and South Platte Basin, North Platte Basin, Rio Grande Basin, Southwest Basin, Yampa/White Basin.
You really do not want to drink Coors. Ever hear of Rocky Flats? It's a far wider area than what has been shown. Not to mention the heavy metal mining that went on for years upstream in the canyon.
I really don't think that beer consumption factors into how they rate water consumption. If that were the case, I would be arrested for wanton water wasting .
It's funny, because of the drought, they want us Californians to lesson our average consumption to a mere 140 gallons of water per person per day. 140 gallons!@!! 140 gallons is like 10 kegs of beer!!! Do I really use that much water per day? No, I don't, because I'm a smelly hippy and I shower about twice a week, and I never wash my truck, and I wear clothes for multiple days, and I have a greywater system so every drop of kitchen/shower water is drained into the landscaping. But, that's not socially acceptable.
It's like I've said all along, Capitalism is the cultivation of needs. You've all been conditioned to 'need' 150 gallons of water per day, and it's been a long and arduous process to get you conditoned to that state of need. But, you're there now, and there's no going back.
