The Buffalo Story

A very interesting perspective on alcoholism:
===
Cliff is seated at the bar describing the buffalo theory to his buddy,
Norm. This concept has never been explained any better.....

'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
lowerst and the 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 intake of alcohol
kills brain cells. 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."
