Here's why you should drink wine instead of water.

Oh, that kind of stuff is in virtually everything we eat, drink, come into contact with, and even in the air we breathe. And sadly, poo isn't even one of the worst.

Okay - now I'm wondering why the wine industry never uses this wonderful benefit as part of their advertising campaigns.

Thanks Jack

I have been using this reasoning for years, in the cause of beer consumption.

I mostly don't like to drink water because fishies fornicate in it.

Thanks

Oh I've been drinking more liquor and beer than water for years now. It seems to be working, I feel great. Except in the mornings and half the afternoon. Ironically, water makes me feel better. Wouldn't have guessed that.

Why not just buy a water filter they're pretty cheap? Well cheaper than a litre of wine a day anyway!

As you raise that glass to lip
I see the sunlight shine
through the ruddy ruby nectar
that is your glass of wine.
The image of that taste
such magic will never fail
to disguise infected, dirty feet
and gnarly fungal nail

1 liter per day = 365.4 liters per year (don't forget leap years).

1 liter of water weighs approximately 1 kilogram (+/- depending on temp, not including salt water).

So...

Contaminants in drinking water are classified/measured in Parts Per Million (PPM, basically one drop into a large kitchen trash can full of water), and Parts Per Billion (PPB, basically one drop in a tanker truckload of water).

Now if you divide one liter by 365.4 liters (1/365.4) you get...wait for it...0.0027367, or 2.7 parts per thousand.

Now the standard allowed for E. coli is zero PPM. If 1 PPM is detected during a sampling test the water needs to be treated. Period.

If they detect 2.7 parts per thousand they know they are within one centimeter of an active rectum to be able to get a reading that high.

I suspect Jack had to get his science statistics from an American High School Science teacher to be that far off the mark.

But you folks bought it anyway...

Another good reason:

Everyone remembers the name of the guy who turned water into wine.

Who remembers the name of the guy who turned wine into water though?

No, I don't either, but I'll bet he never got invited to another party.

Wine drinkers will surely like this post. For me, it is nice to drink wine, just don't get drunk with it. Water is still the best.

Pffft... That's nothin'. I can make wine disappear. Lots of it! Sometimes I can't remember it the next morning, though.

Thai people eat a variety of raw meat and blood. (raw pork, pig's blood soup, jellied pig's blood, etc).

It's not really my thing and I don't plan on trying it but I've heard the secret is to eat anything raw with plenty of homemade rice whisky as it kills all the ucky stuff.

In Germany there is a town called Heidelberg. High on a hill above the town is the ruins of a castle. The castle contains the world's biggest wine barrel. There is a dance floor on the barrel. Also in the room is a statue erected to a midget named Perkeo. Perkeo lived hundreds of years ago in the castle before it was burned to the ruins you see there today. He was a talented musician and extremely funny as well. The King loved him so much he made him the court Jester. Perkeo found being the court jester had many benefits. One was wine. He drank the equivalent of 12 bottles every day until he was 94 years old. One day when he was 94, he drank a glass of water. He died.

True story from my adventures in Germany.

However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Water = Poo

Wine = Health

Ergo: It is 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 am doing
it as a public service.

Very interesting point of view. I think you should show this to any wine company, I am sure they will sign you for their advertise campaign
