To My Friends Who Enjoy A Glass of Wine… And To Those Who Don’t

February 2, 2009 //  3 Comments

wine-glassThis snippet was forwarded to me by my dear friend Neville, and I thought I would share it with you all.

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 by 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 sh-t.

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

    I loved this. I always knew there was a good reason for my drinking beer etc. I was a VERY healthy person when I was drinking. I find I get more flus now that I don’t. Maybe that is where the toast ‘to your health’ came from. Thanks for the smiles and the wisdom.
