Words of wisdom from Ben Franklin.....drink, wine............

some words of wisdom I received in my e-mail today & thought some of you might appreciate it. Bottoms up all

> 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 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 feces.
> In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poo..
> 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 = Poo
> 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!
