a little info

[barbj050]

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine (or other adult beverages) and to 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 .

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

Did they even know about bacteria in Ben Franklin's time?

Hi Anna.... Can you (and maybe Rosita) make it to the peep meet next Monday at the Beer Bucket? There's a thread for it under Peep Stuff. Do they make martinis at the Beer Bucket?

Given what my dogs have been doing before they greets me with kisses, I don't worry too much about water. And I drink wine as a disinfectant for the other.
