Both will be alright. "Beber" sounds more "educated" and "tomar" is a little more popular.

Es incorrecto decir, "Me duele el estómago porque bebé muchas aguas residuales" ¡Ciertamente, tonto, pero es gramatica correcta?

jeje gracias

¡¡Aguas residuales!! *yuck!!*

But "Me duele el estómago porque bebí muchas aguas residuales" would be grammatically correct.

Too many people to be cursed then... your sentence could be like:

"Maldición a la persona que inventó estas conjugaciones."

"Maldita sea la persona que inventó estas conjugaciones." Although this sentence is too strong.

Maybe I would say "¿quién diablos inventó estas conjugaciones?", which means more or less "who on earth invented this conjugations?"

Let me again recommend you use a manual for conjugation... rules will be clearer and you'll learn to do it yourself and feel when a conjugation is more appropriate for each kind of verb.

Estoy feliz que lo comprara. (Lo is a direct object pronoun, used instead of libro. It agrees in number and gender with the direct object it replaces (libro). Subjunctive must be used when expressing emotion.)

Lo me ha ayudado mucho en estos dos meses. (Lo is not a subject pronoun. The subject pronoun 'it' is usually omitted when the third-person ending is used (ha), but you could use él (must agree in number and gender with the subject the pronoun replaces (libro): él me ha ayudado mucho.)

¿Cómo se dice, "Thank you again"? Una vez gracias?
Gracias, de nuevo. -o- Gracias, otra vez.

I've checked that Barron's and I hope you'll find it useful, although I think these kinds of books are the same as searching for a conjugation in internet.
There are some manuals that help you associate kinds of verbs and their conjugation, which makes your mind build them by yourself after regular use.
I found one of these in Amazon. It's all in Spanish, but it's not hard to understand: Conjugación Lengua Española. Larousse.
