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 faeces.

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 s**t.

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

Have a good day full of wine.:devil: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    O, let's see here . . .

    *starts doing math in head*

    So if I'm drinking 2 to 3 liters of water a day . . .

    *more thoughtful calculations in head*

    at one kilo of poop per liter . . .

    That's only 2 to 3 kilos of poop per year . . .

    Definitley worth it.

    Im pretty sure this is mostly just tap water we are talking about right?
    And thats because most tap water is recycled water.
    Even water in wells have a certain amount of E. Coli in it, animals gotta poo some where.
    You come in contact with more E. Coli and several other dangerous bacteria by using your office bathroom once than you do in drinking water for a month.
    Maybe thats more of a perspective?

    There is always some "bad" news on the "healthy" foods, in this case--water. You will die eating healthy and/or you will die not eating healthy.

    So, it is strictly up to you on what you want to put in your body---whatever makes you feel good. If you are watching calories, isn't it hard to have a "good" alcoholic drink??
