Brunswick Curve

The Brunswick Curve is a phrase that originated with bowling to describe the correlation between alcohol consumption and performance in the game. As a player consumes drinks, their performance increases along a curve until it inevitably peaks and the amount of inebriation begins to negatively affect the performance. While originating with bowling, it can be used when describing any activity vis a vis drinking.

Brunswick is the name of a corporation that creates bowling equipment & bowling centers.
