In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink ONE litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than ONE kilo of E. coli bacteria found in faeces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo or 2.2 lb. of Poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine or rum, whiskey or other liquor because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop; Alcohol = Health.
Therefore, it's better to drink alcohol & talk stupid, than to drink water & be full of sh*t.
