I read one theory that drinking only kills your weak cells.

I am skeptical.

Is this science or junk science. I have been hearing for years that alcohol was no good for those brain cells. Excessive drinking over many years causes what is known in lay terms as "wet brain" where one becomes basically a drooling idiot. More info has to come out of the lab (hopefully from other places beside Sweden) before I will go back to sucking on my jug of MD 20/20.

That's pure crap!

Years ago in college, I drank. I loved to party.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with M.S. and a spinal tap confirmed it. My radiologist asked me, "did you do some heavy drinking a few years back?" I sheepishly admitted I had. He stated, "it shows in your MRI. Alcohol KILLS brain cells."

Moderate drinking is fine but not excessive.

Cliff's theory...

"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."

Still doesn't explain moron Ted Kennedy's lack of brain cells. The more alcohol he consumes the stupider he gets.

Moderate use of alcohol is good for you. That's why I am partial to red wine, beer and grain spirits in moderation.
Hic! Hic! . . . Burp! Not bad manners, just good beer . . .
