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) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, 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.

Well sir, You have made my day and after drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water per day , i do feel full of sh-t. Your informative post has me closing up my laptop and heading directly to the nearest provider who has a bottle of bombay saphire(sp?), Hendricks or Junipero and the cleansing effect it will bring. Thanks so much for the tutorial.

So, after being clean and sober for 23 years, now I find out that it was all so you can tell me I'm full of shit. And at that alarming rate, that's nearly 1/3 of my body weight. Wow, that's a lot of crap.
