The more you know...

A Wednesday PSA, courtesy of Ashley at Journey to a Better Me:

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, whisky 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 shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Don't forget to check out FWR's blog, she's giving away some awesome protein powder (I should know, she got me hooked on it!) and Erica's fun running jewelry giveaway here.

  7. I would totally sign up for a race that had booze stops instead of water and gatorade. You should organize it. Call it the F#ck-U-Up 5K or something like that.

  12. I guess I shouldn't have been all that surprised when I saw beer being served at a recent barbecue cookout at work. And I thought, only in Germany!
