I knew wine was good for me! I really, really did!

Water and Wine

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 litre 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 shit.

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

Beejay: I happen to be fond of Robert Mondovi Cabernet. I love the flavor, AND they refuse to use rubber corks. I HATE rubber corks. They shouldn't even be allowed to call them cork's. Cork is from a tree. GEE rubbers are too. LOL. I just thought Cork or Rubber?

Toad said...

Hey Beejay: Do they still sniff corks?

A kilo of poop a year in the water? Yuck.

Toad said...

I LIED. I opened my NEW bottle of Mondavi Cabernet, and the damn cork was rubber. Guess what? I STILL drank a couple glasses. Actually my HEART is telling me to have more.

Barbara aka: I know you live in CA. and a nice fellow from LA. sent me a case of Two Buck Chuck Cabernet. I actually enjoyed the stuff. It does however make me think of the old days and RIPPLE, SPINNADA (sp) and all the other dollar a bottle wine. I miss those days. I sure had fun.

Don't forget Boones Farm Apple Wine as well as Mad Dog 20/20. As a matter of fact the other day at the grocery store I saw the Boones Farm Apple and cracked up. Haven't had that since high school. Oh wait, I wasn't legal then. Never mind.
