Hear me out, you'll thank me later.
I have this theory, which dawned on me while watching a documetary on buffaloes on a typically apathy-immersed sunday. Here goes.
Apparently, a herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. This makes sense, when you think about it. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and the weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This is only naturally. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole because the average speed and health of the group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
Now, this got me wondering, will the same go for alcohol and brain cells? Let me explain. The human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells, much like the herd of buffalo. Now we all know that excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells, but if we were to follow through with this buffalo-analogy, could we assume that the alcoholic predator only attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first? If so, this would mean that a regular consumption of wine/beer/tequila/whatever eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That would mean more oxygen from the bloodstream for the remaining blood cells too, right? I think you're on to something here.
I no longer understand why people used to think unfathomable amounts of booze were bad or you.
So here's to health and .. stuff.

I would get my idea patented if I were you... You wouldn't want to miss out on a chance to make it into the history books, would you?

Well, to continue with this buffalo-analogy; at some point, if the predators are persistent and plenty enough, the herd of buffalo will cease to exist in its entirety.
Resulting in people who are both drunk and stupid (if there ever was a disticntion between the two in the first place).

I never thought of it that way!
I think you're onto something. I'm drinking vodka right now and I'm feeling smarter already (not to mention faster, cuter, more outgoing and sexier.)
Drink! Rejoice! Practice rocket-science!
The only trouble is, you might invent the cure to cancer while on this drinking spree, and not remember a damn thing in the morning. In fact, maybe this has already happened a thousand times around the world!

Well, thank y.... hang on.
Sometimes?
Cheers
