To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... And those who don't. As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in Scotch there is strength, in beer there is freedom, and in water there is bacteria.

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 shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.
