Beer makes you smarter

The Buffalo Theory:
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest members. So when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This is natural selection and is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group is continually 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, 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, the regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, therefore making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. Hence the reason we always feel smarter after a few beers

SAM: What'd you like, Normie?
NORM: A reason to live. Give me another beer.

SAM: Looks like beer, Norm.
NORM: Call me Mister Lucky.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. "
~Frank Sinatra
"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!"

I have a flaw in this theory. We all know that the Irish like a good drink, yet they are the butt of all jokes for being stupid.

Yeah but that's because they are Irish,not because they drink.
EDIT: Think how stupid they would be if they didn't drink
