Question:  Why would anyone in their right mind want to drink holy water? Egad, it's leftover baptismal water that all kinds of people have been sticking their hands into. Why would anyone want to drink it?

Answer: 

Thank you for your question. I quite agree with you. I have no idea why anyone would choose to drink it. That was not the intended purpose. Holy Water is one of many "signs" used in the celebration of the sacraments.
