For the first time, scientists have proven that "beer goggles" are real - other people really do look more attractive to us if we have been drinking...


"Everyone knows about beer goggles," Munafo said. "But some of our results suggest that there's more going on than we might have thought." ...

"It's also surprising to see this effect is happening at lower doses than you might think," Munafo said. "We're trying to build up a more complete picture of what happens when people go out for a drink, and we're interested in certain behaviors that are more common after drinking, such as unsafe sex, or violence. If this effect is happening at lower doses than expected, it might be helpful for people who are predisposed to such behaviors to anticipate those situations and prevent them."

All right. Next time I'm at Elsinore, I'm gonna send some beer there beforehand. That way I merely look "not as ugly as I thought."

p.s. I find this quote interesting...

Dammit. It's just setting up for a Limey joke, ain't it?

I figured for the Limeys it'd be a Cuba Libre', what with that whole "rum, buggery and the lash" thing...
