Ive got that crunchie feeling!!
Its Friday so why not - and this could explain quite a lot!
This is from the TV show Cheers.
CLIFF'S THEORY (In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar
describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. I don't think I've ever
heard the concept explained any better than this....)
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this...A herd of buffalo can only move 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 killing of the weakest
members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol 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. And that,
Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

I think something like Stella or Super T would accelerate the killing off of those bad cells, ahead of less 'hectic' lager...
Also, when I was at uni, I drank loads of beer (of course to get rid of those bad cells), but as I was running up some stairs in my campus, I tripped and headbutted the wall. I think that may have led to the loss of some good cells (well, in the morning it felt like it anyway).
Basically, what I'm trying to say is....Let's drink!!!

is it just beer, or will any alcohol suffice?

I have already opened a tinny of the WORST beer available, the well-known (nay, world famous) brand Königsbacher, 4.8% and not so bad for the UK equivalent of 26.4p for 500ml (on special!)
