The Buffalo Theory

(In an episode of “Cheers”, Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm.)

“Well you see, Norm, it’s like this… 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 group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol 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 brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

For the last couple of years, Ive taught my biotechnology students that beer may have played a major role in the dawn of civilization. People realized that fermenting grains were good to drink, planted plots of those grains. They had to settle down to tend those crops, so they invented villages. I just read an article in a scientific journal a few months ago about an archaeological find of an ancient brewery that lends credence to that theory. If it wasn't for beer, we wouldn't be sitting in our houses, typing messages on our computers to post messages on our striped-bass.com message boards. What's more important,:cheers: :cheers: in the history of mankind, than that?

origionally the first fermented beverage was wine and was followed by mead ...a concoction of honey and water...that fermented

then as we became less and less nomadic....and harnessed the power of the horse to pull a plow....cultivation and agriculture replaced the nomadic way of life.... and the first fields of wheat and barley were planted.

the level of quality is:
lager=lowest
beer= middle
ALE = highest
