I'm not a drinker, but if you need an excuse.............The story says that Aurthur Guinness, the founder of the Guinness Brewery, was concerned about the whiskey drinking habits of Irish men and felt called to make a drink that would be good for them. Good as in it would be more difficult to get drunk, yet people would still drink and enjoy it. Apparently the idea sold, since they are still around, having started in the 1700's. Aurthur also came to be known as an influential christian businessman and philanthropist.
St. Patrick was a believer that radically changed the face of the Christian faith and was instrumental in transforming Ireland from a dark, dangerous and superstitious place.
Now, we commemorate St. Patrick by drinking beer. It seems to be the Irish thing to do...beer.
So, in honor of beer:
One night at Cheers, Cliff Calvin explained the" Buffalo Theory" to his buddy Norm:
"Well, ya 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. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, 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! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
