Beer versus Water

A public service announcement to my family and friends who enjoy beer...

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 4 cups of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 2 pounds of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 2 pounds of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

So remember: Water = Poop, Beer = Health. Therefore, it's better to drink beer and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.
