quesera's reply points-out just how bad it is, but even for just 775 root:admin I would have to use sudo (plus edit the sudoers or /usr/bin/login -p first) anyway:

  $ /usr/bin/env -i /bin/sh -c \
    'id | grep -lw admin >/dev/null && echo admin || echo non-admin'
  non-admin
The problem is I have no problem using sudo, but homebrew does (like it wants make all to happen as me).

Yeah, the more I read this thread, the more I'm thinking "why is that?" - `apt-get` et al have no problem with you using sudo, why does `brew` scare you into an alternative? 'because Mac'?
