Beer Makes You Smarter

I'm a non-drinker but this one made me laugh.

Beer Makes You Smarter

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went:
"Well ya 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 is 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. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, 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. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Well, as a beer drinker (in moderation), I'm encouraged by this new research, it confirms what I've always believed to be true

The analogy would be great if your remaining smarter brain cells bred more brain cells. As it is, you just end up with fewer. Not everyone has enough to spare.

Since whisky is stronger, it works better right? I hoist this dram for intelligence!

Nah, you can look at it like this;
The beer is much like the bows and arrows of the plains indians, when used on buffalo they worked decently but whiskey is like a Sharps Buffalo rifle and also works but much more effectively.
