At age 67, I feel my brain is younger, more vibrant now than it was 20 years ago. There is a reason for this, and it's due to alcohol. I drink in moderation, and this has really helped my brain. It's kind of like a herd of buffalo thundering across the tundra. The youngest, strongest buffalo are at the head of the herd, the weakest, oldest, sickest buffalo are straggling, running at the back and just barely hanging on. What buffalo does the wolf go after and kill? The youngest, strongest? No! The weakest, sickest, the oldest. Same thing with the brain. The brain has strong, vibrant cells and weak, sick old cells. Alcohol, like the wolf, doesn't attack the strongest, youngest cells. Alcohol attacks and kills the weakest cells, leaving the strongest cells to survive and prosper. Therefore, at age 67, the more alcohol I drink, the smarter I get. ;-)
