Why we drink
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
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 attrition 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, we all 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.
This is why you always feel smarter after a few beers!
