to my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...and those who don't.
as ben franklin said:
in wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
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 kilo of Escherichia coli, (e. coli)...the bacteria found in feces. in other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. (that's over 2 pounds.)
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine or beer (or tequila, run, whiskey 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.
