[Coemgen]

There is? You mean that drunks don't lie?

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

Explain beer goggles then?

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:



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.
