Sitting here in a local tavern in sunny Kathmandu a group locals pounds out the hits of the 70s and 80s as our live entertainment, my father begins the science lesson of the day. It goes a little something like this…
My brain is like a herd of buffalo, let me explain. A herd of buffalo is only as fast as the slowest. If an animal were to attack the herd, it will kill the slowest and weakest long before the fastest and the strongest, making the herd faster and stronger with each death. Alcohol kills brain cells, as my son tells me. If that is true it will kill the slowest and the weakest first, thus making my brain faster and stronger with each beer I have. Can’t argue with science, I’ll drink to that, cheers!
