WHY BEER?

I've heard a good number of very valid reasons for drinking beer, but the one that takes the cake is called the "Buffalo Theory". It originated in America and goes something like this: A herd of buffalo can move only 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 culling 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, will kill off 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,constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
