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 and 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 [bleeeep]. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

I don't think they knew about bacteria in Ben's day, but it is hard to argue with the Wine and Beer sentiments.

Dr. Franklin was a smart fellow, but I'm pretty sure the water purifing techniques have improved since the late 1700's.

Yea, take a glass of fresh tapwater (let it run for a while to get the "pipe impurities" out), fill the glass, and while it's still swirling in the glass hold it up to the light. Those little tiny white particles swirling around are little pieces of toilet paper. They haven't perfected the technique as much as we might like.

Filter, filter and filter again!

I heard about people drinking only distilled water and having health problems because of it.
There are many necessary trace minerals in water.

"Those little tiny white particles swirling around" may be bubbles.

If it is toilet paper, well that's just fiber.
Drink up!

The real solution is to mix water and Jack Daniels together, then you got the best of both worlds. No bugs, no sugar, low fat, and after a few, you dont give - a - ship anyway
