PHILIPP WEBER – DURST

PHILIPP WEBER – THIRST

Drinking sensibly is a skill that must be learned: Cocoa is coke for kids. Tea makes you unfit to drive starting at 0.8 chamomile. It takes 140 liters of water to make a good cup of coffee. Fat-free milk isn’t milk—it’s nonsense. Oils, gases, and ores are also being squeezed out of this planet like juice from an overripe orange! It really makes you wonder: Is the world in danger of drowning in its own thirst?

Millions of Germans are abusing alcohol today! And yet everyone knows: even the high achievers of this society are drinking heavily. There are hospitals where the chief physician’s rounds stagger into the room like a polonaise. And on airplanes, you can no longer be sure: Who’s had more to drink, the plane or the pilot?

The real scandal, however, is what’s being served up as drinkable to people in the land of the Purity Law: Take Red Bull, for example. That stuff tastes like the morning urine of a diabetic gummy bear. Some even believe it contains bull testicle extract. If that were the case, Red Bull wouldn’t be an energy drink—it would be oxtail soup. And a fruit juice drink may contain as little as 6% fruit. The rest is sugar, food coloring, flavorings… If you buy “Kiwi-Mango Shampoo,” you’ll have more fruit in your shopping basket. Lies and deception as far as the eye can see?

One man is now bringing clarity to the murky waters of global drinking culture: Philipp Weber. “DURST – Waiting for Merlot” is a brilliant masterpiece of humorous public education. The trained chemist and biologist has dedicated himself body and soul to your well-being. Never before have his topics been so hot off the press! But Weber wants more: smiling faces, happy people, and a better world. Because there’s a thirst that no drink in the world can quench. Only one thing can do that: humor!
