"Beer goggles" really do work, apparently

doh

 

Did they really need to research that?!

 

Quote:
A pint and a half of beer can produce the effect – and in men it may last 24 hours.

 

In the study, volunteers were randomly allocated a vodka and lime or a similar tasting non-alcoholic drink.

 

About half an hour later, both groups were asked to rate the attractiveness of 20 male and 20 female faces on a seven-point scale.

 

Those who had been drinking alcohol scored the faces about 10 per cent higher than the non-drinkers.

 

When the groups were tested again the next day, the men who had drunk alcohol still gave pictures of women higher ratings than those who had not.

 

Dr Marcus Munafo, an experimental psychologist who led the study at Bristol University, said: "The findings are important because of the role drink plays in, for example, unsafe sex." It is thought alcohol stimulates the striatum, an area of the brain important in attraction.

The scale goes like this:

 

- it's a single bag over the head, just so so urgly

- double bag, incase the first falls off

- stumper, when she's asleep on your arm but you need to escape without waking her.
