In praise of wine

[Jim]

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 Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) -- bacteria found in faeces. 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 shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service!

Ranger Jim,

I'm more of a "freedom" person than a "wisdom" person. Trying to strike more of a balance though.

The good stuff comes in plastic bottles with screw-off caps, right?

You're absolutely right! Last time I was in a liquor store, they were putting plastic wine bottle wine up on the shelf. It was noon. The label on the bottles said "Vintage: 9 AM". Definately fresher.

Too funny! Unfortunately we in the sandbox are so full of shit (e. coli), its coming out of our ears! (Due to the amount of water we are drinking of course )

In my PX they sell wine in a BOX; 3 or 5 gallon size.

But I'd rather drink beer brewed naturally in a peat bog.
