DRINK FOR BRAIN

 

The following is an excerpt from Forbes magazine. While the
theory may seem sound, I will leave you to draw your own conclusions as to
veracity! 

 

 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 is maintained or even improved by the
regular culling of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can
only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells through which the electrical
signals pass. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive
intake of alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first.Thus, regular consumption of alcohol helps eliminate the weaker
cells,constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. The result
of this in-depth study verifies and validates the casual link between all-weekend
parties and job related performance. It also explains why, after a few short
years of leaving a university and getting married,most professionals cannot keep
up with the performance of the new graduates.Only those few that stick to the
strict regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption can maintain the intellectual
levels that they achieve during their high school years.
