I got this recently from an internet friend.....
"At least I was healthy when I was young. This explains a lot, its not old age catching up with me, maybe it's the lack of alcohol in me!!
So this is to my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and beer.. . 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 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 feaces. 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 and Beer = HEALTH.
Therefore, it's better to drink wine/beer 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 public service."
