To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...

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 e(scherichia) 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 (or beer, tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine (or any other alcoholic beverage) and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of crap.

So remember:

Water = Poop
Wine = Health

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