THE BUFFALO THEORY
(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 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.

Beer gives you a big fat stomach and flatulence. Is there a need for farther discussion. The dutch have tried to scientifically explain the need for a dail dose.

I see only when people who indulge in this campaign, that the only thing they exceed is their girth.

I know also that some dieticians recommend a wheat beer as part of their dietry balance. This is because most dieticians who prescribe this are neglecting those people of natural minerals and vitamins and that the body needs a jump start for the metabolism.

I prefer wine in winter and beer in summer

as to the benefits of alcoholic drinks, wine is good for your health and so is beer but of course one thing is to have a drink and the other is having an overdose.

as to the theory of the slow brain cells, well, if alcohol kills the slowest cell, there will always be another slower cell and then if you go on, soon there will be none as the fast ones become the slow ones

beer

Of course wine is also good for you!

wine

They both help you forget where you're supposed to be!

They both help you 'recover' from a broken heart!

They both help you seem 'charming and irrestible' to that lovely lady in the dark corner of the bar!

They both help you get over the shock when you wake up in the morning and discover she has a moustache, hairy legs and enough armpit hair to make a toupee manufacturer smile with glee!

Sorry - I was only joking, ladies... I'm sure you all look gorgeous sober; I just don't to take the risk of being wrong! rolling on the floor laughing

Of course we look gorgeous when we're sober! wink

And of course alcohol is good for you!

I have it on good authority that it can even save your life: say you're stranden on a desert island and can only have one of the following types of drink to sustain you, which would keep you alive the longest?

- water
- orange juice
- milk
- beer

Yup - beer!

(Of course, this was explained by a brewery company... hm).
