No, but there is logic in drinking gallons of any kind of water.

Kidney stones were a great problem for an earlier generation of pilots. Then came humidifiers and an age where water was preferred as a drink to tea and coffee, and kidney stones seemed to become quite rare. Now the humidifiers have gone, or been reduced to a dribble, and the coffee has become drinkable again, the problem may be coming back.

No help to poor Fish, though. I think he should have another scan.
