Just stumbled across this.

Men who drank less than 540 millilitres of sake or wine a day had an IQ 3.3 points higher than men who did not drink at all
:D

beetle... i guess it all depends on what you started out with and how you use what you got. Still... I allways thought that you were 3 points smarter than the other idiot in your village. Now we know why. that's why you are allways the keynote speaker at the village idiot conventions.

Perhaps drinking doesn't make you smarter...
Perhaps it's smart people drink.
If drinking made you smarter I'd be a freaking big-headed-neck-too-small-to-hold-up-my-big-head-smart-person-type. Yeah.

it's the "Slowest Buffalo" theory:
A herd fo buffalo is only as fast as it's slowest buffalo.
the wolfs hunt them from behind, killing the one in the back..... the slowest. the slowest one is dead, thus making the herd faster.
the same is true with brain cells........ alcohol kills off the weakest brain cells, making you more clever!
:)

Uhhh, buffaloes don't drink, Einstein.
-
another reason not to trust people that dont drink at all.

Think positive. I don't believe this story. Focus on the fact that you've probably got 3 times as many live brain cells by being a tee-totaller. Still, 3 times nothing is still nothing - muhahahaha :lol
Lazs! :) Hey, only 27 more days to go. We'd better start practising to be nice to eachother.

before drugs and alchohol.... I was told that we only use 10% of our brain and that alchohol destroys brain cells... I figured I could drink and drug till I killed 90% of my brain off.
What they didn't tell ya was that the stuff kills the brain cells ya use and leaves the useless ones intact.
and who says I'm gonna be nice to you at the con?

waaah-hah-hah-hah! Bah, come on, Lazs! Don't take life (aka this BBS - LOL) so seriously! We'll get along fine. Yeah, we've had a few dingdongs along the way, but a turning point was when I found you were a cat lover - well, a cat owner!

I can't remember who said it (maybe I'm not drinking enough lately?), but htis was always one of my favorites-
"A wise man often requires alcohol to tollorate the company of fools"

Sound like the acidic wit of Mark Twain. But I'm probably wrong.

WKRP in Cincinati had a great episode where they did a reflex test on drunk people. A classic. The drugged out DJ kept getting faster the drunker he got. Drove the poor cop spare.

I was leaning tward it being Churchil but I wasn't sure.
It could be twain though, he's responsable for many of my favorite quotes
