As a brewer, I've gotta say that ain't right.

The part about drinking water is correct. The Federal standard for safe drinking water is that it have no more than 1.1 colonies of e. coli (sewage bacteria) per liter. So, we're drinking a lot of that.

But in making beer, the long molecular starch chains in grains get broken down into simple sugars by "mashing" at certain temperatures.

In fermentation, those sugar molecules are then "eaten" by brewer's yeast, which is a fungus. Big fungi are mushrooms and toadstools, small fungi are yeast, the stuff on your wet basement wall, and the critters that make your feet stink and give you toe jam.

Yeast consumes sugar and changes it to glycogen, ethyl alcohol, and CO2. The glycogen is a protein that is used to grow more yeast, but the alcohol and CO2 are waste products that are excreted and discarded by the yeast cells.

So - drinking beer and avoiding water may keep you away from Poop, but the alcohol in beer is yeast Pee, and the carbonation is yeast Farts.
