A Glass of Wine

A glass of wine
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don't and
are always seen with a bottle of water in their hand:
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 annually.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or rum, whiskey
or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process
of boiling, filtering and 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 .

Funny, but to be picky, the term "bacterium" was developed after Ben Franklin's life. I prefer the version by W.C. Fields:
"Never drink water. Fish f*** in it, you know."
And of course:
"We almost died of thirst. The only thing we had to drink was water."

Wine (and beer) yeasts are similar to penicillium, so there is a bit of science in this. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :D )

Wine reduces the risk of heart disease, and resveratrol, found mostly in red wine, seems to slow some aging processes. Canadian researchers found a few years ago that there is something in the skin of grapes (think red wine) that inhibits the growth of viruses, so I know when I am getting a cold I have an extra glass of red wine in the evening. Seems to turn it around much faster! (Maybe I just don't care as much! )

It is more effective if you have a glass, or more, every day "just in case". I find it gives ALL bugs cirrhosis - very healthy for you. Cheers! :thumbup: :D

And it only destroys the weaker cells in the brain, thus leaving the healthier, stronger cells unfettered ability to get the work done!
