That Makes Sense

A friend send me this rather sound rationale today. It made me think of Morewines, a sage and valued friend. I'm thinking she'd agree.

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 public service.

So I guess this means you can tell who drinks more water by the amount of bullshit coming from their mouths? The list is long....let's begin with our favorite politician..........no let's not.

Thanks CW, I knew I could count on you to cheer me up today.
