To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... I found this ages ago and it has taken me till now to find it again to share...
Ben Franklin once said: In wine there is wisdom, in Scotch there is strength, in beer there is freedom, and in water there is bacteria. [not sure about Ben franklin and 'scotch' but hey ho]
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilogram of Escherichia coli, (E.coli) the bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming about 2 1/4 pounds of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or Scotch whiskey, Tequila, Rum or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop; Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of ****.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.
