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, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s 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.”

I drinking think doesnt” killcell brain
too much

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.

A 6 pack once a year of Woodchuck’s hard cider about does it for me.

[Orangedog]

of course drinking alcohol kills brain cells...but only the weak ones.

So I guess maybe boozing isn’t the reason that after four years of college I wasn’t any smarter than when I went in.

I remember Peter Marshall asking George Gobel this same question once on "The Hollywood Squares.":

PETER MARSHALL: "George, true or false: consumption of large amounts of alcohol destroys brain cells."

GEORGE GOBEL: "Well Peter, I'll go with the obvious and say.....the Civil War."

You mean those memories I was trying to get rid aren’t going anywhere?

That makes me want to have another drink...
