Drinking beer makes you smart

[torstensson]

Drinking beer makes you smart, with the evolutionary theory saying that only the strongest will survive.
By drinking beer I kill of all of those lazy, weak and stubborn brain cells and replacing them with new much better the next day. By doing this in a continuous way I might become one of the greatest minds of all time.

So does this mean that consuming beer is like creating a starter for your brain cells, boy those yeast are amazing little creatures

I think Cliff Clavin (from Cheers) beat you to the theory. Still a good thought though.

"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 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."

You're right, I knew I had heard it somewhere else before!

I thought of that scene from Cheers when I read the OP's post. Tried to find it on YouTube but couldn't..

But heres another Cliff Clavin epiphany.
