I know that this is NOT the scientific stuff you were looking for, but for Pete's sake he/they should at least listen to common sense and apply a modicum of wisdom when thinking about it...
Even WE will succumb to the effects of drinking too much beer/alcohol!
When we drink too much beer, we have loose bowels but it isn't dysentery; we KNOW this because dysentery can't live in beer.
When we drink too much beer, we vomit but it isn't the stomach bug, or e-coli, or cholera, or worms; we KNOW this because they can't live in beer.
When we drink (way) too much beer, we fall down and get bruises or maybe even broken bones, but THEY didn't come in a bottle or a glass, either!
When we drink too much beer, we have memory loss, but we know it's not alzheimer's or dimentia!
When we drink too much beer, we tend to wear a LOT less when it's cold outside; partly because we have the runs, partly because we're running outside to vomit, partly because we fell out the door, and partly because we forgot our coat - and while we may come down with a cold or bronchitis or pneumonia or the flu, it was because of those things first mentioned, NOT because the virus was in the beer.
When we drink too much beer, SOMETIMES some people may get a social disease but it's because they were DRUNK and the skank suddenly and inexplicably looked HOTT, not because the social disease came from the beer.
...it's all - all of it - because we just drank too much beer.
By the way, those first two listed? The causes can and do live in WATER.
tah-da!
