„ In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom
In water there is bacteria”
(Ben Franklin)
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
However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine, beer
(tequila or whiskey or other liquor)
REMEBER
WATER = DIARRHOEA
WINE = HEALTH
