Yep, but we don't mind sharing! Just don't even think about lending dishonor, cause it ain't possible!

That was my opinion.
And if my suggestion is one of bad word choice, terrible grammar, and worse aesthetics, I can only say "mea culpa, mea culpa, me maxima culpa."

The Beer Goggle Effect Explained

No; it means that there is truth in wine, not drunks.

The Beer Goggle Effect isn't related to wine.
But, since you asked:
The "Beer Goggle Effect" has been explained by researchers at the University of Manchester. They found that the extent of the effect can be determined by a formula, to wit:
![](http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/574/picture3bi3.png)
where:
• An = the amount of beer consumed (in litres)
• S = smokiness of the room (graded from 0-10, 0 = clear air)
• L = luminance of 'person of interest' (candelas per square metre [1 ? pitch black, 150 ? normal room lighting])
• Vo = Snellen visual acuity (6/6 normal, 6/12 just meets driving standard)
• d = distance from 'person of interest' (as measured in metres)
If the values fall within the given parameters, as would be expected, 0<B<100, with a high value of B indicating a high Beer Goggle Effect.
In a report by the BBC, Nathan Efron, the Professor of Clinical Optometry at the University of Manchester, explained the significance of this formula:
" 'The beer goggles effect isn't solely dependent on how much alcohol a person consumes, there are other influencing factors at play too.
'For example, someone with normal vision, who has consumed five pints of beer and views a person 1.5 metres away in a fairly smoky and poorly lit room, will score 55, which means they would suffer from a moderate beer goggle effect.' "
However, I believe that it ought to be noted that pulling out a calculator in the midst of a bar can significantly reduce your chances of hooking up with anyone.
