A good reason to drink beer

[PuroEsq]

I recently received this froma friend. It is a scene from Cheers where Cliff is telling Norm why it is good to drink beer.

In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this .

'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 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 and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Makes sense to me, but then I'm drinking on my second glass of bourbon...

I realise it's a joke, but I figure I'd point out that it's just a common myth that beer kills brain cells -- its doesn't.

Thanks. I needed that.

That's interesting. In the Navy, we always called it "Stupid in a Can".

Doc.

I've been laying off the alcohol after I read a news report that said that alcohol has been proven to make one's brain shrink.

Reason? since when does anybody need a real reason to drink beer. It's all about the taste and enjoyment, just like the sticks right? :thumbs:

That is all the reason I need. Any additional medical purpose is just bonus. :thumbs:

Here's a good reason for you: Today is the 75th anniversary of the elimination of prohibition!

So please go get snockered tonight to celebrate the only constitutional amendment that has been repealed.

Agreed ... no reason needed to drink beer.
