The drinking of the ground up golden calf mixed with water and given by Moses to the people of Israel to drink after the Golden Calf incident reminds me of the Sotah.  The above article was interesting to read and was helpful to me for better understanding the drinking of the ground up golden calf.  What was particularly helpful was to learn that sometimes the effects of the bitter water of the sotah could be delayed and happen over a period of time.
