You must have hard water to get that lining so no, it's not universal. Also lead sweetener in wine.
Then, also, lead pipes were used to transport rain water. I kind of find it hard to believe that rain water can be anything but slightly acidic since it does tend to dissolve calcium carbonate in lime stone geology.
Also boiling down grape juice in lead alloy pots can't be a good thing.
Then, take into account that in Roman era the bones were loaded with lead. It got there somehow.
I don't disagree, I've just seen cut sections of the pipes with several inches of buildup inside. The pipes seem to get all the blame from most people.
It wasn't so much the pipes as the rain water that some of the pipes collected. What's worse is the pots used to concentrate wine and the lead acetate sweetener. Lead sugar.
Go to Flint and ask them how that worked out when they switched the water supply.
And then we have plumbers in the 20th century all the way up to the 70’s sitting next to pots of liquid lead and pouring joints for cast iron waste pipe...
We had lead-based paint, lead bullets for ammunition, lead pellets, lead fishing-line sinkers, the list goes on and on...
Not buying the lead is deathly poisonous narrative, sorry...
Pouring lead into sewage joints is not a real problem unless you're down at the other end eating shit. Lead based paint caused many kids to suffer neurological damage. Everyone with an ounce of sense has figured this shit out. Lead as a metal in weights and ammunition is not as bad a problem as lead compounds in paint and other uses. You really should read up on this stuff.
