Public Service Announcement from Ben Franklin
In light of our recent trip to the Franklin, here are some wise words from the man himself (in an email from my dad):
Wine and Water
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 [something else]. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

I LOVE this Lou Ellen! So, while I am pregnant I am consuming the poop...that can't be good :)
So, wine is good; water is bad; Got IT--thanks for the great PSA.
