Cheers Buffalo theory:
The Buffalo Theory as told by Cliff Clavin: No one can explain this as well as Cliff Clavin, on Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. and here's how it went:
"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 slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, 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. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

...Although increased alcohol consumption could be a reflection of exceptional brainpower, drinking more will certainly not make you any more intelligent than you already are.

The g/f is a Ph.D and drinks lots of wine. I drink once every three months. Dang it.

You mean to tell me alcohol in itself doesn't make you smarter?!Originally posted by The King View PostThat's been my experience in most cases, and in those cases these people were already intelligent to begin with. There very likely is a relationship between the two.

I'd have to do some research to find the study, but alcoholics have a chemical in their brain that non alcoholics don't have. There was a study of this, and they stumbled on the fact that the group that had the chemical also scored higher on IQ and training tests.
