Yes they use lead containers to drink from, and other did too. i am glad we got out of the stone age. Just Flint Mi that like the leaded water.I am not going to read the article, but FYI, from what I remember from my highschool years in another country,the Romans had a favorite drink, somethng they poured in a lead urn that reacted and produced a sweet drink, a kind of "lead milk". That was over 40 years ago, so I don't remember details.
