Buffaloes, brain cells and wine

A herd of buffalo only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. So when the herd is hunted, it is the weakest and slowest ones at the back that get killed first. This example of natural selection is beneficial to the herd because the regular cutting of the weakest animals improves the overall and average health and speed of the whole group.

Similarly, the human brain can only work at the speed of its slowest cells. Now, too much alcohol kills brain cells – but, importantly, the weakest and slowest cells first. Consequently, regular wine consumption, by eliminating them, is making your brain work faster and better.

So the moral of this theory is: drink more wine.
