The Buffalo Theory as told by Cliff Clavin (the Postman on
"Cheers"):
"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"
