Just one small beer too many and crazy ideas start to sound sensible. I'm sure you've all been there and had an idea in a drunken moment that in the light of the day perhaps isn't such a "no-brainer" after all.

There is an English joke that if you speak loud enough and slow enough then everyone in the world will understand you but that simply is not true.
