To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... And those who don't...?!


Question: 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 sh*t.

This is not a question but a valuable information I'd like to share it with you, I'm doing it as a public service.

thank you!!!

Big deal. You already contain several kilos of e. Coli in your intestines at this moment. And that's a good thing - without it, you'd have problems digesting your food.

Everything you eat, breathe, or touch isn't perfectly sterile, and it isn't supposed to be. That's why you have an immune system. There is a theory called the "Hygiene Hypothesis" that says that a lot of the allergies common in people today are caused by parents who try to sterilize everything before their baby comes in contact with it. This means that their immune systems don't learn to recognize them as normal everyday elements of their environment. When they encounter the pollen, dander, etc later on, the immune system goes nuts. Want to do your kid some good? Let them crawl around on the ground a bit...

Quit trying to rationalize your drinking habit, and get on with your life.

One glass of red wine a little in moderation.

Well, they always say, "Drink to good Health".

OK, all true, but you do realize that water is what your body uses to survive. So risk or not it is needed. The only value to what your saying is "fear". Post a solution to your comment instead of trying to get others drunk!
