Don't drink the water

We interrupt this blog for nutritional advice from the good folks at Anheuser-Busch.

While doing some research yesterday afternoon, I ran across this Budweiser ad in a 1917 issue of Forest & Stream. (Click on the ad to see it full-size.)

The "drink beer, not water" pitch got me chuckling. But the table showing that city water contains "waste matter" -- a.k.a. sewage, a.k.a. shit -- and Bud doesn't had me laughing my ass off.

With #7 Ohio State's 20-17 comeback win over Iowa today, this year's Beat Michigan week has begun. Seems as good a time as any to start paying more attention to my nutrition.
