(3,922 posts)According to our friend at theoatmeal.com, when beer hits the brain:
- It hits the cerebral cortex first which makes you more talkative and less inhibitive. This will help open up the hold-outs as to what they really made last year!
- When alcohol hits the hippocampus, it causes memory loss and exaggerated emotions: The alleged tax cheat will forget how much they made and begin to feel an overwhelming sense of patriotism to his/her beloved Greece!
The cerebellum keeps you balanced, when alcohol hits it you lose coordination: Makes it hard to maintain your post in front of the money box.
When alcohol reaches your medula (controlling breathing and heart rate), you're really in trouble: And therein lies the #1 reason that Germans may want to bring bier with them to help collect taxes in Greece.
(What time is it? All this talk about beer.....)
