However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop
Liquor = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink liquor and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shi!t.

There's no need to thank me for this valuable information; I'm doing it as a public service.

Seriously, this was the reason that in the middle ages people would drink thin beer and similar beverages instead of water. The alcohol would kill water-borne diseases such as cholera.
