Valuable Information

[Richard in Smithville]

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 Escherichiacoli, (E.coli) - bacteria found in feces.
In other words,we are consuming one 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 = Health
Therefore,it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,than to drink water and be full of sh*t.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

Thanks, I feel better already.

Recent studies show that alcohol use cuts your risk of cancer. Every really old person I've ever met was either a regular drinker of fermented beverages or a total teetotaller. I don't have to tell you which group was more fun to hang around.

I figure with my current consumption by age 70 I'll be mature, at age 80 I'll be well-preserved, at 90 I'll be a little past my prime, and by 100 I'll be completely pickled...

I was reading an article a while back about the health risks/benefits if any of alcohol. The story was about a guy that drank a bottle of wine every day of his adult life. He had an extended family that was very concerned about his welfare.

The article was lengthy and delved into the pros and cons of the extent of his drinking. It went on to talk about how he died very unexpectedly. At the end of the article it stated he was 101.

My Grandaddy drank a pint of bourbon every day. Stuff killed him at the age of 92!

Now I know what is wrong with me. I drink too much water.

As has been scientifically proven, alcohol in small dozes is beneficial in any quantity.

Reminds me of the story of a preacher using a demonstration to make a point to a group of drunks at a mission, as to why they should not drink whiskey.
For this he had two glasses, a bottle of water, a bottle of whiskey and a worm. Just before he proceeded with the demo he reminded the drunks that this was to show them the life threatening dangers of consuming whiskey. He then fill one glass with water and the other with whiskey. He took the worm and put it in the water. The little critter just swam around for a minute or two. He then put the worm in the glass of whiskey, and instantly the little guy went stiff and sank to the bottom of the glass motionless.
Seeing the look of staggering dismay on everyone’s face, the preacher felt quite good that he had done his job and that the men had gotten the message. In an elated tone he asked if anyone had learned a lesson from what they just saw. After a few seconds’ pause, an old drunk staggered up from his seat in the back of the hall, and with slurred speech yelled out.
Yea Rev. I learned a lesson. If you drink whiskey you wont have worms.

I can just see it now. All those plastic water bottles now filled with the good stuff, filling and the cup holders in our vehicles on mine that is 10 cup holders. I allway thought water was for fish and bathing and similar things.
