The intent is to be humorous I'm sure, but this information is scientifically untrue. I'm not sure what the requirements are elsewhere, but in the U.S. the Safe Drinking Water Act has a standard set for ecoli. Also, although e-coli is largely present in feces, the is a difference between e-coli and fecal coliform bacteria.

I know it's a joke, and the beer part is funny, but statements like "it has been scientifically proven" can easily throw people off track.

Just thought I'd comment!
