Had this email this morning.....

Thought it mildly amusing...

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 5h1t.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

Just what I needed in order to justify a small drop in front of the telly tonight when the Swedish vikings are supposed to beat the **** out of the Russian bear :P

[Gillywibble]

That's also my justification for tonight. Many thanks

[seano47]

great excuss for a drink that wonder if work would accept that as a valid reason not to drink water in work

*runs off to speak to MD*

[TKW]

At the highest permitted levels of E. coli in New Hampshire's swimming water (there should be none of the bacteria in drinking water), and assuming a mass per bacterium of 1.7 e −12g, the 365l of water consumed in the year would contain 0.00000054604g of E. coli, somewhat less than the 1000g claimed.

Sorry

[sharkrider]
