A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffolo and when a 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 keeps improving by the regular culling of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills off brain cells but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest cells first. In this way, regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. The result of this in-depth epidemiological study, verify and validate the casual link between all-weekend parties and the achievment of excellence in all disiplines. It also explains why, after a few short years of leaving university, getting married, having kids and more responsibilities in life, most workers cannot keep up with the performance of the new graduates. Only those that stick to the strict regime of voracious alcohol consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they achieved in their years at university.
If you feel that you are losing your competitive edge, do not sit and shudder at home – get out there and get back into the pub.
