Drinky drinky makes for smarty smarty. The scienceman said it so, so me go drinking now.

Other than that, it's tough to tell if drinking was the cause of the better memory, or if there is something else that causes you to drink and also have better memory? Like some study that just came out showing a correlation between dissymmetry of features in human faces and aggression. The scientists don't think it's the dissymmetry that causes the aggression, they think it was conditions during development that cause both dissymmetry of features and a lack of development of control of aggression. (Did I get all that close enough, Roy?)
Anyway, I'll still have a drink or two (or six) a day just to be on the safe side.

I need them to forget everything that happens after those drinks so that they forget the stupid things I do after my 12 drinks.
