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 s**t.

No need to thank me for this valuable information...
I'm doing it as a public service - enjoy!

I have a book, translated from French to English called

Mon Docteur Le Vin by Raoul Dufy's

I actually bought it for the art illustrations as I loved the colour combinations and loose
way that the beautiful drawings were structured.

But the words, are wonderful - proves every problem that you can have with your Health can
be cured by drinking wine.

Perfect for us secret wino's who are not alcoholics, but have to have a glass of red, especially
when cooking, or with dinner.

A few snippets:-

White Wine, which contains a considerable amount of tartrates, is a powerful diuretic.

Wine is a heroic remedy for what Bouchardat called physiological worries, namely depression or withering away.

When it is taken in a reasonable measure. wine always positively affects the morale as well as muscular activity and strength.

Anemics and convalescents cannot do without wine - Dr. Penton.

Wine inspires gaiety, strength, youth, and health.  IT IS BOTTLED SUNSHINE - Professor P. Pierret
