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. In other words, we are consuming 1 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 shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.
Needless to say, the foregoing confirms what Sassy has been saying all along:
One bottle of Svedka from Big Daddy Liquors - $16.99
One quart of orange juice from My Market - $2.99
An ice-cold screwdriver at 9:30 in the morning - priceless (and, apparently, good for ya!)
Sassy out.
