A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. 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, 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.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
