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

Must tell my GP, she keeps telling me to drink more water, so keeps on prescribing more pills to take with said water, its just that the water I drink is purified with a generous slug of Scotlands best!! Talisker preferably.

I'm with you Keith.
I cannot take water neat - have to dilute it with something and I must say, don't mind Talisker myself.

I do not dispute the truth of the quote, but it could not have been Franklin, the work 'bacteria' did not enter the language until the mid 1800's, well after Franklin passed.
Thank you Graham! I am also being told by my doctor to drink more water. Not so difficult when the temperature is 99F like today but hard when it is at the other end of the spectrum. So I shall follow your sage advice and maybe people will stop telling me I am full of it.

Hmmm, I don't think "passed" was about then, either; it was good old "died."
