they just don't make enough Coors...!
Chemistry 101, water that does not have a ph of 7 will conduct electricity, a ph of 1 to 6.99 is acidic and 7.1-14 is basic, either side of the neutral point a 7.0 will conduct electricity. If distilled water is not at a ph of 7.0 it too will conduct electricity.
