Probably none, if you define 'lead poisoning' as hospitalisation and/ or
death. Probably quite a few if you were to include non-mains water,
acidic well water or non-water uses. The lunacy amongst Roman Emperors
(Caligula, Nero, etc..) was probably the result of consuming wine stored
or drunk from lead or pewter vessels.

Storing or drinking wine in/from lead is rather a different matter than
water. And other metals used for drinking vessels dissolves in wine too.
Hence they should be gold plated.
