Wine or Water You decide

[big-dollop]

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 crap.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable​

information: I'm doing it as a public service!​

Hi BD
You have a point but alcohol can inflict a lot of physical and mental damage and even in extreme cases cause death.Anyway if we listen to the pundits everything we eat and drink poses a danger to health so I think you just have to have a balanced diet , take it all in moderation and hope for the best.
My partner is fond of quoting the poet(e.e cummings?) who said "Malt does more than Milton can/To justify God's ways to man".Our favourite Private Eye sites this quite a lot too so it's good enough for me - well in principle because I don't particularly like spirits.
