Scientific find of the Week - yes it does matter

Next time your friend catches you flirting with the old maid around the corner, no longer can you blame it on the over-used excuse of 'Beer-Goggles'...

Thats right boys - the scientists at Baush and Lomb have way to much time on their hands, they cracked their heads together and came up with possible the most useless equation of the week!!

Boys and Girls - its my pleasure to introduce the 'Beer Goggle' effect

An = number of units of alcohol consumed

S = smokiness of the room (graded from 0-10, where 0 clear air; 10 extremely smoky)

L = luminance of 'person of interest' (candelas per square metre; typically 1 pitch black; 150 as seen in normal room lighting)

Vo = Snellen visual acuity (6/6 normal; 6/12 just meets driving standard)

d = distance from 'person of interest' (metres; 0.5 to 3 metres)


a Beta (i cant find the proper symbol on blogspot - the funny looking B) of 0 means you are dead sober and just plain desperate - a Beta of 100 means its abt time u gave up drinking..

ok.. by no means this is gg to break headlines or win any noble prizes.. but it just shows how much time and money is spent on coming up with stuff that does or mean nothing...

I promise my readers - i will be equally jobless and research the effects of this equation in the real world - right after i list the different fart sounds produced by the different shapes of One's anal splinter...

N.B. the above is 100% true.. researchers really will do anything for money..
