I'm not a fan of the "It doesn't hurt to ask" mentality. It can hurt to ask; find a biker club sergeant and ask him if he receives anal.
HOWEVER, I find that in my most recent case, it didn't hurt to ask my two English language private students if they would enjoy moving our lesson from a stodgy classroom to the local bar where the Baird Beer above was featured. Suddenly they're more excited for the lesson than I've ever seen them.
Next week I'll ask their opinion on pegging.

Studies show that you have a harder time using skills you have learned while drunk sober so you might have students needing a few beer's to be able to pass any English exams ;-)

Heh! They're both doctors, and only taking the class for easier socialization when in the USA. They'll be better prepared to speak at parties! ;-)

If I recall, the same effect takes place when listening to music while you study.

Again, if I recall, the idea is that your neurons are already responding to the music and you're injecting the study material into that pattern. So if you're listening to Beethoven while studying a very specific calculus formula and can't remember the formula during your test you could conceivably hum or recall the Beethoven you were listening to and make it easier to recall the formula you studied.
It's a similar method to the Memory Mansion idea. If you have a mansion in your mind and you keep all your math memories in the study of your Memory Mansion near the globe you are creating an image that your brain is familiar with, can picture easily, and is tied to some specific memories that you can recall.
So essentially being drunk is just a state brain is in while it's taking in information. If you get drunk again it's likely you'll remember some of the things you learned the last time you were drunk because your brain is familiar with the scenario.

In essence, the context of the experience of learning at least partially defines the nature of what's learned? A friend of mine who has a background in neurology recently told me the reason we often forget why we went to a place is that same change in context; e.g. In the living room, I remember I need to grab my laptop from upstairs, but once I get upstairs I've forgotten that I need the laptop. The context of the thought has broken. Once I return to the living room and restore context, I remember.
