To my friends and family that 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 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 & Beer = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine & beer 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.

He also offered the following advice:

"My friend, the Declaration of Independence only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself!"
