Listed below is a farce concocted in response to this post. Hope you enjoy! 
Thank you for making your opinions and concerns known to the Agency. We appreciate your thoughts and experiences regarding dihydrogen monoxide.
At this time, we are not aware of any data establishing dihydrogen monoxide as safe and effective for their intended uses. Furthermore, there appears to be no specific intended use stated for this product. Based upon our review of this product in a number of forms, including liquid, gaseous, and solid state, their presence in a number of drug/device combinations require approval by FDA before they may be legally marketed in the United States .
None of these forms of dihydrogen monoxide or its components has been approved by FDA. Therefore, the marketing of them in the United States is subject to enforcement action. As a matter of policy, however, we limit communications about the regulatory status of specific marketed products to those responsible for them, and we do not discuss our enforcement actions except with the targets of those actions.
There may be a perception among some users that dihydrogen monoxide is a safer alternative to conventional dihydrogen dioxide (Hydrogen Peroxide). However, FDA is not aware of any scientific data to support those perceptions. Since these products have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, the agency has no way of knowing, except for the limited testing it has performed, the levels of fluorides or the kinds and amounts of other chemicals that the various brands of these products deliver to the user. The FDAs Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis analyzed the ingredients in a small sample of bottles from two leading brands of dihydrogen monoxide. In one sample, the FDAs analyses detected trace amounts of fecal coliform, which are known indicators of there being a higher risk of pathogens present, and in several other samples, the FDA analyses detected hydroxyl acid, a major component of acid rain. FDA also found varying levels of minerals in the bottles labeled as mineral, containing the same level of minerals as well as the presence of hydroxyl acid in bottles labeled as containing natural spring. These test results indicate that these products are manufactured under inadequate or non-existent controls.
FDA is concerned that dihydrogen monoxide, which is clearly marketed to children with its wide variety of flavors, introduces young people to hydration which may lead to an increase in the use of conventional dihydrogen monoxide products with well-known, adverse, health consequences. Additionally, it is unclear what health effects these products could have on users or if misuse or product failure could lead to hyper hydration or other serious adverse health consequences.
There are a number of proven safe and effective cessation aids that hydraters can use to quit drink. The U.S. Public Health Services, Treating H20 Use and Dependence: 2008 Update recommends using a combination of proven cessation interventions including FDA-approved soda replacement therapy and/or non-hydration medications and counseling to more than double a hydraters chances of quitting successfully. Free help is available to smokers in all states by calling 1-800-NOTO-H20 or by visiting www.h20free.gov.
