BEERSHZ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine/alcohol.. . 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, whisky or other liquor), Because alcohol has to go through a purification Process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember! Water = Poop, Wine/Alcohol = Health . Therefore, it's better to drink wine/alcohol and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of sh*t. Cheers and merry christmas everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 1 bacteria = 10 /\-12 kg (very roughly) 1 kg of bacteria = 10 /\12 cells 1 liter of water per day = 365 liters 10 /\12 cells / 365 liters = 2.7 x 10 /\9 cells per liter Waaaaaaaaaaay higher than the bacterial load found in tap water even in the developing world, by many orders of magnitude. If a liter of water had this many bacteria in it, the water would be visibly cloudy. Even if you drank water with such a high bacterial load, you are surely drinking a mixed population and not a pure E. coli solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If a liter of water had this many bacteria in it, the water would be visibly cloudy. Very interesting, Trev. At what concentrations of bacteria does water first start to visibly show clouding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm sure my wife wouldn't agree with that information after last Saturday night ... I'm also thinking I wont mention it just in case she blows her stack again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Very interesting, Trev. At what concentrations of bacteria does water first start to visibly show clouding? I don't really know, but US EPA Drinking Water standards state that heterotrophic bacteria should not exceed 500 CFU per ml. Apparently. Also, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory stated that 30,000 cells of E-Coli per 100 ml were reported at a site near Pune, India, much less than the 2,700,000,000 cells needed for the OP.
