Answers:
lemonade is supposed to taste sour!.!.!.

Most likely you also gave yourself a dose of lead when you did that!.!.!. the lemonade being acidic reacted with the brass which contains lead!.!.!. now you've just ingested lemonade that is contaiminated with lead!.!.!. Good job old man!.!. lead is a pretty nastying thing to put into your body!.!.!. it does all sorts of nasty things!.!.!. brain damage comes to mind!.!.!. lethal if you ingest enough!.

So now before your brain cells are damaged to the point that you can't remember how to write!.!.!. go write a good bye letter to your family!.!.!. find yourself a comfortable place to drool!.!.!. get ready to meet Jesus!.




Okay!.!.!. scared a little!? Good!.!.!. don't do something stupid like that again!.!.!. odds are you didn't get enough to kill yourself (unless you left the lemonade in there for a long time before drinking it)!.!.!. but don't drink from brass!.!.!. it isn't smart and it can mess you up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You'll be fine!.

Don't do it again!.

EDIT: The acid in lemonade can react with the brass and lead and other toxic stuff can get into the lemonade!. But you are fine!. To get lead poisoning you have to be exposed to the lead for a long time, and there needs to be alot more of it!. It is definitely not healthy for you to drink out of brass, but I'm sure you didn't drink enough of it or even leave the lemonade in the brass long enough for you to have enough toxins in you hurt you!.

Lead poisoning is really not as common as people think, you get lead poisoning from drinking from lead pipes or being surrounded by lead painted walls for long periods of time!. If everyone died just from coming in contact with lead, there would be noone left, because so many things have lead in them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What you tasted was probably copper oxide, which comes from the tarnish that was dissolved by the citric acid in the lemonade!. In small quantities it's distasteful but quite harmless!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dummy!

Next time use a glass like normal people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell your family you love them!Www@FoodAQ@Com
