Wine versus water

[starone]

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 sh*t.

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

So was I when I took a drink from a high mountain stream. Result, one month nil by mouth in a clinic while they sorted the e.coli. Nasty stuff, water.

A lesson learned seadogg. CHEERS. : )

[starone]

So it is true then seadogg and not a joke?

[DTCwordfan]

remember there's only one thing that should be added to a good malt Scotch.

And it's not water, ice, coke, ginger ale, lemonade, blackcurrant juice, soda, whatever.

It is, simply, more Scotch.

[seadogg]

Its true all right, and the worst part was that the clinic had a superb chef.

'Water' load of sh*te!

[wildwood]

Science says that a human body already contains 60% water. Why would anyone want to add more of that sh!t laden fluid?

[dundurn]

As Ben Franklin died in 1790 and the word bacterium/bacteria wasn't applied to single-celled animals until 1838 your quote is as full of poop as the water is!

[starone]

Of course, dundurn - that's what jokes are - you don't dissect them - you just laugh - or not as the case may be.
