In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink one liter of water each day, at the end of the year we will have absorbed more than one kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli), the bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming one kilo of Poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, or other liquor), because wine goes through the 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.
