Water Vs. Wine

It has been scientifically proven 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 Poo.
However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum,
whiskey, beer or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a
purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

WATER = Poo

WINE = HEALTH

Ergo: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid than to drink water
and be full of crap.
