Beer is only 5% of alcohol, it is probably more than 85% of water, but we
wouldn't call it water, would we?

not sure if we should do this either. I also would expect more water in
sewage than in manure, because cows do not use flush toilets (and there is
a lot of other water in the sewage as well, e.g. from rain, showers,
kitchen and bathroom sinks, washing machines, etc.)
