Hope this isn't a repost

A herd of buffalo can move only 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 attrition 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, we all 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.

Drinking Dampens Ability to Feel Fear - MSN Health & Fitness - Stop Smoking

Alcohol can make people frisky, chatty and, as any bouncer knows, feisty.

Now, a new brain scan study shows drinking actually dampens the biological ability to feel fear.

When people drink, these lowered fear levels can lead to liquor-fueled courage that can ultimately make people more aggressive, explained study co-author Dr. Daniel Hommer.

"You're less likely to feel afraid, and you're also less likely to run away or to avoid conflict," said Hommer, chief of the section on brain imaging at the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse.

I like to get touchy-feely when I drink too.

I don't even want to know how much money was wasted on something we have all known since alcohol was invented.
