„ 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)

REMEBERWATER = DIARRHOEA

WINE = HEALTH
