WATER...... It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter (about a quart) of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 2.2 pounds of E. coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, we are consuming 2 pounds of Shit every year from drinking water

Unfortunately, water is a key ingredient in what keeps you alive. Furthermore, although ethanol does kill some bacteria, it's not the ethanol found in liquor that is used to kill them. And pouring whiskey into a wound, I imagine, is a very bad idea. You're better off using isopropyl alcohol or something of the sort.

In any case, E. coli is not the crap itself, but rather the bacteria that lives in the crap. It's not like we absorb two pounds of E. coli at one time, but rather over the course of the year. It's relatively harmless if your body destroys the bacteria on the spot. E. coli can only cause an infection if it grows over a certain rate before it is destroyed. I'm pretty sure you're much more susceptible to Legionnaire's disease than E. coli under those circumstances.

And unfortunately, nothing can be scientifically proven. Ultimately, facts can only be disproven because of the nature of science.

Sorry to burst your bubble :P
