A glass of wine



To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine..
And those who don't and are always
seen with a bottle of water in their hand.

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 litre 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 *kitten*..

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

    Obviously I feel rough today despite a vast intake of healthy wine yesterday because I mistakenly drank lots of sewage-infested water to try and rehydrate!

    This reminds me of the story of John Snow who discovered cholera was water-borne after working out the brewery workers were the only ones in a certain area of London not to be afflicted!

    I'm sure there is a flaw in that argument but I'm dammed if I can see it. Do you think my employers will understand this when I order a vodka with my breakfast?

    Love it- why do you think in medieval times monks used to (and still do) make their own wine or beer and drank that instead of water (I'm not sure they still do this!). I'll try to get my 8 glasses of wine in today for sure!

    woo hoo!! Finally proof that I was right all this time.

    Heard a similar argument about chocolate

    chocolate made from cocoa
    cocoa is a bean
    beans are vegetables
    therefore chocolate is a vegetable....

    So that means 5 serves a day right????
