Wine and Water
To my friend who enjoys 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.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum,
whisky 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 crap.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information...I'm doing it as
a public service.
 
Wine and beer works great with medication also, you only have to take half as much and get twice the effect and thus prolonging your prescription!!!!

LOL nice :) I've never tried to find a scientific for my wine consumption but sure is good to know there is one if i ever need it :D

Any chance you can find one for Rum?
 
Another reason to drink single malt scotch straight. Yeah, maybe the full aroma won't be released, but it's safer than adding poo H²O.

BTW, the only water I drink at home is distilled. Cook it till its clean. :thumbup:

Thanks for the info Chuck!

I do fine with alcohol (unless I'm working with isoproponal the next day), but on the basis of physiological benefit from a "safer" potable fluid, I go with coffee, also from a historical stand point. not only is it boiled to reduce bacteria, it has also been the foundation of revolutions and many great advances of science through increased brain function, awareness, and reduction in sleep.

I actually have a harder time with caffeine, but prefer it 10x more then alcohol. 2 cups of french press arabica and my heart is fluttering for the entire day (disturbingly so).
 
Two comments:
1. Bacteria are also protein so why not eat or drink them? Hell, the USDA permits one percent by volume of ground up insects, rodents, and rodent feces in many food products to include all grains, peanuts, etc. So enjoy your Wheaties.
2. We won WWII, in large measure, due to coffee and cigarettes. Man, when you're cold, hungry, sleepy, and even under fire, cigs and coffee keep you going.

In an episode of "Cheers," Cliff Clavin, the trivia-spouting, quirky, irksome mama's boy mailman is seated at the bar describing the buffalo theory to his buddy, Norm Peterson, the beer loving heavyweight bar stool sitting perpetual patron.

Cliff expounds his "Buffalo Theory" to Norm:

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

OMG....that is brilliant!!!!!! :D

Now I wish i had watched that show.....turned off after one episode, it made my ill watching it :barf:
 
Jarhead, that would indicate that my wife drinks beer all the time, because she 'aleways' thinks she's smarter than.............

Oops. Hope she's not reading this:foot:
 
Fortunately, we have a local poop free source for water. It's stripped of practically anything that is normal in water, we have to drive to get it, and haul heavy 5 gallon bottles around but it is fecal free (Woo Hoo!):thumbup:

On the other hand, if you ever get into a badly corked/capped bottle of anything fermented you will swear someone sharted into the batch:barf:
 
G19G26, Bro that's the reason I have ever seen to promote good health!!! Today, do I feel free or the need to be wise, UM... Ah, I'll drink both!
 
The water out here is so damned near undrinkable it's not even funny. There are a few days every Spring and Fall where you definitely don't take a shower because the water coming out of the tap smells faintly like a feces/urine combination. Our village gets its water out of the Yukon River, and apparently all the upstream villages have a water treatment philosophy of "pipe the shyte out of the village and straight into the Yukon." Since we're the last village before the Bering Sea on our part of the Yukon, we get to be the literal recipients of the expression "poop runs downhill."

What this means to us for water is that every drop of water which passes our lips in this household gets put through a distiller. I have two distillers here in case one breaks down. Alcohol is not a possible solution because this is a "dry village" meaning the sale, importation, or possession of alcohol is prohibited by law. Of course many of the Natives here make their own "home brew" which I understand is about as good as drinking turpentine, but I don't drink alcohol even where it is legal.
 
You didn't just say, "Alcohol is not a possible solution because this is a "dry village" meaning the sale, importation, or possession of alcohol is prohibited by law.", did ya?

And you're still there???:mad:

All they'd see of me is my wide white arse heading out of town, taken my Busses with me!
