A childhood belief about drinks

One hot day, as a thirsty child, I stopped at a store to ask for a glass of water. The counter clerk gave it to me, but as I was about to drink it, he yelled, "Stop! You have to wait for the bubble to disappear. If you drink it the way it is, with all the bubbles you'll die." I waited for the bubbles to disappear and then drank. For years I believed him and always waited for all the bubbles to disappear before drinking a glass of water.
