After a few brews, I had an ah haw moment about why you get smarter with every drink ... here goes.

In Nature, the weak of the herd always falls behind and get’s killed by the predator. Well, since it is a scientific fact that alcohol kills brain cells, I believe it is killing the stupid ones and you get smarter with each drink.

Buffalo Theory

"The Buffalo Theory" is an "Urban legend" that is often attributed to Cliff Clavin from Cheers. The "quote" does sound like something Cliff could have said but is not from the actual show. The Buffalo Theory goes like the following:

"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 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. Now, as we know, excessive drinking 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."

Youthful and ignorant makes 'ya think you're brilliant when you're
actually just stupid and ignorant.

Drinking ourselves smarter; this is SCIENCE!
