This 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.
