This explains why I felt like a genius about 4pm, a scholar by 10pm and "Einstein" by 2am.
I don't think I've ever heard the concept expalined any betterthan this (quote from old TV fave "Cheers"):
"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 brains cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first, making the brain faster and a more efficient machine.
And that Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
Now that explains why I felt like a genius about 4pm, a scholar by 10pm and "Einstein" by 2am.
