Wine vs Water
Wine vs water …..
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.
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 sh*t .

E. coli is commonly found in human feces because it is a natural and healthy part of the gastrointestinal tract’s endogenous fauna. E. coli among other species of bacteria make up an important part of the body’s innate defense system by occupying attachment sites which could be used by potential pathogens. This is part of the reason it is a good idea to eat yogurt and stock up on healthy bacteria!
Luke:
Take the stick out your ass and enjoy the joke for what it is bro. It is just a joke not a biology lesson.
The conversation b/w Luke and ADMIN (#1 and 2) can be a joke in itself haha.
Actually, that quote isn’t from Franklin, though I haven’t found a reliable attribution. Though microorganisms were known to exist during his lifetime, the word “bacteria” wasn’t coined until well after Franklin’s death.
Scott, please see response to Luke (Post#2). Take the stick out your ass and enjoy the joke for what it is bro. It is just a joke not a history lesson.
