I haven't heard anyone explain this great mystery as well as the
all-wise Cliff Clavin, on the sitcom Cheers.

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory
to his buddy Norm...

"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
lowest 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 elimates the
weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient
machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers
