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 kilogram 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 the alcohol from fermentation or
distillation kills the E. Coli.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health.
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink
water and be full of shit.
