Man weraing Santa hat and drinking beer

Any man who will attest to the fact that drinking beer makes you smarter. It’s only when people start saying, “Hey, watch this…” that you have to get worried.

In an episode of famous television show “Cheers“, Cliff (the mailman) is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to Norm.

The Buffalo Theory

Well you see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard 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 intake 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 more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Three cheers for Cliff for finally solving this perplexing issue. Of course, it’s only perplexing if you’re not drinking beer.
