Whenever the USS Enterprise was
in danger, some off-camera crew member would flip an imaginary switch, and
invisible deflector shields would come up around the ship. Nothing could hurt it. Nothing got through unless it was a direct
hit from a sponsor's commercial.
For some carbon-based units, a
glass of wine lowers their deflector shields.
Their defenses come down and not only are they suddenly vulnerable, but
they too can fire photon torpedoes without any recoil.
A second glass can have the
opposite reaction. Deflector shields may
suddenly become visible and become erratic, popping up, or dropping down
without warning. No alarms, no simulated
computer voice, nothing.
A third glass is the same as
being hit by phasers on stun. Suddenly
you're speaking Klingon.

Hummmm, I never thought about it that way, but you are absolutely right!! However this carbon-based unit, upon consumption of a glass of wine, gets extremely relaxed and goofy looking. However, depending on the wine, sometimes a quick exit from a room is called for.
