A Glass Of Wine

[McMouse]

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 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 annually.

However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or rum, whiskey or other liquor)
because alcohol has to go through a purification process
of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
than to drink water and be full of Sugar.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
I'm doing it as a public service

and wine is made from grapes, grapes are fruit

[grasscarp]

Well that has cheered me up McMouse. I am doing the right thing then. Next time I open a bottle (in about 7 hours time) I will remind myself I am just purifying my liquid refreshment!

precisely fluff, and therefore part of a rigorous five a day regime

[fraser]

thats good as iam enjoying a can of cider now!

...and drinking wine could cause you to unwine too.

[AlwaysConfused]

snap, fraser. I'm having one of my five a day.
McMouse, this info will be invaluable to me. I'm steering clear of that water, sounds dangerous to me!

[mccfluff]

cider is another of your 5 a day

could you include fruit beers as well ??

[fraser]

only problem i mightexceed my five a day!!!

[nescio]

you do realise that the 5 a day was a compromise, since the actual amount needed to have a beneficial effect is 8 a day, which was deemed to be a not easily attainable target. No problem if it is wine or beer... :-)

[AlwaysConfused]

8 a day? Well, I'm super-healthy, then!

[fraser]

eight a day sounds better! any advance on eight?!!
