> *the herd is hunted,

> first. This natural selection is* *good for 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
