Water or Wine you choose!!!!

To paraphrase W.C. Fields, "I don't drink water, because fish screw in it."

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 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 selfless public service!

I picked wine for too long (liked it a little too often maybe). I only have water now.

Clever, but we can't give credit to Benny though:

The name bacterium was introduced much later, by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1838.

Hear that Leo, wine is good for you, keep drinking.

I hear that the Italians are healthy because wine is consumed more that water.

My step mother who is Italian, said she had a uncle who had wine since he was small, and he outlived the whole family.

Indeed, during Ben's day much less was known about the critters that float through the air. In fact, Ben himself was on the losing side of a fight at the time where people believed living near trees was unhealthy.

Good theories, though. /scotch

I am always trying to minimize my water intake/increase wine. I especially wonder about bottled water, which when tested often seems no better than tap water.

Depends on where you live. In Chicago, for instance, our tap water is really good because we get it from the Great Lakes. Oh, and over 100 yrs ago the city had the good sense to reverse the flow of the river, so we quite literally send all of our sh!t down to Peoria instead of into the lake we drink from.

But, on the other hand, there are 1Bn. people living on this planet who don't have access to clean drinking water. So, I'm sure they'd love to have your excess bottled water.

Clean water is expensive, usually more costly per volume than crude oil. It has long been thought that the next major war on this planet will be over water.
