I prefer the Buffalo theory
http://www.davidstuff.com/humor/buffalo.htm
In an episode of “Cheers,” Cliff Clavin, the trivia-spouting, quirky, irksome mama’s boy mailman is seated at the bar describing the buffalo theory to his buddy, Norm Peterson, the beer loving heavyweight bar stool sitting perpetual patron.
Cliff expounds his “Buffalo Theory” to Norm:
Well, you see, Norm, its like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, its the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Believe it or not, that was pretty much the rationale behind treating schizophrenia with insulin shock therapy.

Drinking doesn’t kill brain cells but it does make them seem more attractive.
To: Slings and Arrows
For moderate drinkers, a number of studies from the last 15 years suggest that, far from killing brain cells, a little tipple is actually associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Cheers!

I remember in my young, young days sitting at a bar and a pretty young lady walked up and said .... Will you buy me a drink? I politely said ... yes. I was not prepared for what happened next. She went to cursing, yelling, almost to the point of attacking me with physical blows to the body. She went nuts. I sat there and remained calm as her friends moved in a restrained her. It was a sight to behold. Her friends holding her back and telling her to calm down. The bar tender standing there smiling and looking strangely at me ... Like I had done something. Later in the evening another of her friends came over to apologize for the actions of her friend. This is where the story becomes interesting ... See ya later.

Nice theory. There’s probably one important attribute to beer that I’ve learned since high school. 5 pints makes any woman look like a Victoria’s Secret supermodel.

He should’ve asked somebody to hold his beer.
